Israel treats the Arabs and Christians in the "expanded" territories like dogs. I wish the borders would revert to 1948, but I don't see Israel ever relinquishing these territories especially if the next leaders are hardliners like the current Israeli government.

I think the Palestinians and Arab states could make a return to the ‘67 borders work, but the Israelis would still balk, and their lobby owns America, so there you go.
I would say the 1973 borders would work better, in terms of Israel's potential willingnessto exchange land for peace. Israel must get out of the West Bank, even if that area was won in a defensive war. Concurrently, Arab neighbors should help in administration of the West Bank and Gaza until a functional Palestinian bureaucracy is formed. Hamas is a fucking disaster for the Palestinians.

Hamas was supported by Netanyahu for many years, creating a disaster for the Palestinians:

Yes, and. . .
...and some of Netanyahu's allies favor an ethnically-cleansed one-state solution, which is now a work in progress.
That is how I see it, too.
