This post was originally meant as a comment post for “Resistance is Futile Israel, Comply to Saudi Plan or Else.” I believe it offers clarification to what would happen to Israel if the Arabs got their way forcing Israel to pre-1967 borders. The post was too long to be accepted as a comment.
I am a Christian right kind of guy, thus I have reasons of faith for not the existence of Israel, but the Land’s expansion to Biblical proportions.
There is a geopolitical purpose for not decreasing Israel’s borders.

Defensible Borders for a Lasting Peace
UN Resolution 242: No Restoration of the 1949 Armistice Line
Israel's struggle for "defensible borders" is unique in international diplomacy. It emanates from both the special legal and strategic circumstances that Israel faced in the aftermath of the 1967 Six-Day War, when the Israel Defense Forces captured the West Bank and other territories in a war of self-defense. The previous armistice line of 1949 that separated the Israeli and Jordanian armies was only a military boundary and not a permanent political border, according to the armistice agreement itself.
