One often hears the proposed solution to Middle East woes: “Just move the borders back to 1967. The Palestinians will be happy, and that will bring peace.” It was in 1964, however, during those nineteen years from 1948-1967 when Jordan and Egypt held the West Bank and Gaza Strip (and could have created the “Palestinian State” had they so desired), that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was formed. Obviously, then, going back to the 1967 borders is not what the Arabs really want – though they would take it as a first stage toward the planned destruction of Israel. In fact, in 1967 they were so unhappy with the borders existing then (established by the war in 1948) that they were in the final stages of readiness to attack and annihilate Israel after nineteen years of preparation.

There is no special significance to 1967. The PLO charter declares that the very existence of Israel is illegitimate at any time. It says that the Jews are merely citizens of the countries where they happen to live all over the world, not entitled to a land of their own, and that the intention of the Arabs is to take all of Palestine for themselves and literally “exterminate” the Jews.
