"Defensible borders" is Israeli-speak for "borders with as much land inside them as possible"; it's certainly not something that should be a concern. No-one is susggesting the Palestinians should be allowed them, and allowing the Israelis what they mean when they say "defensible borders" would make agreement impossible.
And basing borders on current population distribution would mean stripping Israeli residency from numerous Arabs who want to remain Israeli, while allowing many of the current illegal settlements to remain, effectively rewarding ethnic cleansing.
The only possibly basis for final status borders is the Green Line.
