You ducked my question. Here is a map of Palestine that includes its defined international boundaries.RE: Boycott Israel
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,
OH, you are so confused. You do not even know what the term "Palestine" actually means; let alone understand the borders.
(IMPORTANT REFERENCE)Palestine has international borders. Israel has no borders.The elements of the Arab League, acting in support of the Arab Palestinians, used both Threats or Actual Force on the Israelis to destroy the political sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Jewish State.
So who was violating whose territory?
(COMMENT)2012- UN Memo on the Issue of the use of the name Palestine • (Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs said:
Of course, you would have a dispute over the borders. Both the major Arab Palestinian factions (Ramallah Government and Gaza Government) have their own particular view on this matter.
In the eyes of many Arab Palestinians, particularly those involved hostilities and in the support of violence, your view "must be" the proper view. Otherwise, the entire justification for the actions of the Jihadist, Fedayeen Activist, Hostile Insurgents, Radicalized Islamic Followers, and Asymmetric Fighters, begins to unravel.
The term "Palestine" does not mean what you think it means. While there is no legal impediment in using the term "Palestine" as to describe the geographic area once under the Mandate for Palestine, the boundaries of that geographic area did not constitute a self-governing institution (a state). Take a few minutes to read and understand the Memo.
As for the borders of Israel, they are actual and physical. The sovereignty of Israel is not theoretical but enforced and treated as a fact in reality. YOU touch the border. It has the quality of real substance, a tangible object. It is not some pipe dream that the Arab Palestinians and fantasy.
Now that does not mean that the Arab Palestinians can live as refugees in self-imposed enclaves run by the UNRWA. But the Arab Palestinians do this at the own discretion.
Most Respectfully,
R

These are the same international boundaries that were referenced in the 1949 UN Armistice agreements. (After the Mandate left Palestine.) There were no borders mentioned for Israel.
The Armistice agreements mentioned Palestine many times and twice called the land inside those boundaries Palestine. There was no mention of a place called Israel. Palestine was divided into three areas of occupation by armistice lines that were specifically not to be political or territorial boundaries. Israel does not recognize those lines as its borders.
BTW, the armistice was called by a UN Security Council resolution. Nobody lost that war.
