If Israel were stupid enough to agree to the " 67 Borders" ( Which never existed) does the author mean Abbas wouldn't control Gaza? Wonder what the reaction would be if Israel did accept those borders, terrorism continued, and Israel responded with everything they have ( To Pro Pals, NOT referring to Nuclear Weapons).
