By going back to Israel's pre-1967 borders, many people hope to restore Israel to what they imagine was its pristine, pre-occupation character and to provide a solid basis for a long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.\u003cbr style=\"font-family:\" arial font-size:=\"\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family:\" arial font-size:=\"\"\u003e In this original and controversial essay, Yehouda Shenhav argues that this vision is an illusion that ignores historical realities and offers no long-term solution.

The Israeli left's sanctimonious insistence in the face of the Jewish settlers of the West Bank that the settlements were illegal and that the proper borders of Israel are those of 1967, is nothing short of an ideological manoeuver. The purpose of the manoeuver is to obfuscate the fact that Israel itself is nothing short of a huge settlement project that was founded upon the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and the systematic expropriation of the land they left behind.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eLama Abu Odeh, from the foreword\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Shenhav does not accuse sides for the ongoing conflict, but is rather willing to offer peaceful alternatives in hopes of overcoming jingoist or chauvinist attitudes.
