P F Tinmore, et al,
I agree, that you tend to twist and distort the intent of the Armistice Line.
As may be usual, only half the story is told. For all intense and purposes, Armistice Lines are handled exactly the same as other lines of demarcation. The only difference is the temporal nature and termination on a Peace Accord. In terms of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the Armistice Line has all the characteristics of a border, until such time as a Peace Accord makes it obsolete.
There are two important aspects to keep in mind in terms of the universal recognition of the delineation and demarcation of both Israel and Palestine (each as States).

(COMMENT)Will you ever stop distorting facts towards delusion? What Recognized borders, and recognized by whom?
Provide a link, and again a sanity certificate.
It seems that you need to provide one with your calls for borders, I said boundaries which are a different thing all together. But here goes for evidence of the new borders of Israel
Israel's borders under international law & according to the Bible
The 1949 Green Line
The Arab countries refused to sign a permanent peace treaty with Israel, and so the UN arranged a series of ceasefires. UN GA Resolution 194 called for cessation of hostilities and return of refugees. Security Council Resolution 62 called for implementation of armistice (truce/ceasefire) agreements that would lead to permanent peace and as a result Israel's borders were re-established along the so-called "Green Line". This demarcation or armistice line, drawn up under the auspices of UN mediator Ralph Bunche, largely reflected the ceasefire lines of 1949 (Fig 5) and as such represented interim borders for Israel.
2. The Armistice Demarcation Line is not to be construed in any sense as a political or territorial boundary,...

FIRST: The international view:
Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States said:Every State likewise has the duty to refrain from the threat or use of force to violate international lines of demarcation, such as armistice lines, established by or pursuant to an international agreement to which it is a party or which it is otherwise bound to respect. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed as prejudicing the positions of the parties concerned with regard to the status and effects of such lines under their special regimes or as affecting their temporary character.

SECOND: The Palestinian View:
PLO Negotiations Affairs Department (NAD) said:Key Facts
SOURCE: PLO Negotiations Affairs Department (NAD)
- The 1967 border is the internationally-recognized border between Israel and the oPt.
.- A basic principle of international law is that no state may acquire territory by force. Israel has no valid claim to any part of the territory it occupied in 1967.
.- The international community does not recognize Israeli sovereignty over any part of the oPt, including East Jerusalem.
