The issue with 1967 borders was a smoke screen. There was never any peace between 1949-1967. Arafat created his PLF (PLO) prior to 1967. PA websites, and Palestinian textbooks have included all of Israel proper in their maps of Palestine for a reason. There are lots of quotes from Arafat admitting that the green line was a tactical stepping stone to their real goals which were obscured from the PLO's original charter in time for Oslo. The insistance on the Right of Return also makes their goals pretty obvious. When Israel celebrates Independence Day, Palestinians take a moment of silence for what they call Al Nakba, "The Catastrophe" in what has been compared to open mocking of the Holocaust. The day commemorates the creation of Israel in 1948. Only peacenikes look past all these facts. It's harder to keep that charade going noow that Israel has made an effort to return to it's 1967 borders, and the attacks are centered on within Israel's original 1948 soveriegn borders which were never under dispute. They want the destruction of Israel, and while it was always implied, now they're fully admitting it.
