    The conflict in Israel / Palestine started under British rule, before the proper existence of either Israel of Palestine as we know them today. The population that would eventually declare Israeli independence came riding in on migrant ships, not tanks. The one decisive moment everyone can agree an internationally recognized border was violated was the Israeli expansion in '67. So I would say that it’s fruitful and apt to ask “how is demanding Israel return to '67 borders any different from demanding that Russia go back to Russia?”, but stretching the analogy to the whole I/P conflict is probably out of place.
