Israel has clear, expansionist ambitions. It makes it nigh-impossible to fully accept any of the borders the government has drawn.

I can conceive of a world where Israeli statehood is fully justified, but certainly not under the "biblical" borders suggested, or including the occupied territories. Syria and Lebanon are pretty justified in refusing to recognize Israel, and the rest of the world is also justified in mistrusting their "temporary" occupations.
