Neutral, I am.
 
As a pro palestine voter I am pleased with the result and a little surprised. I think the media in my country (UK) and the US is heavily biased in favour of Isreal so I was expecting the result to go in favour of the Isrealis. Perhaps outside of US/UK the media is a little fairer to the Palestinians. Therefore it would be interesting to see a breakdown by nationality of who voted for palestine or Isreal.

Wouldn't it be amazing if UK/US citizens favoured palestine despite all the anti palestine, pro Isreal propaganda they are subjected to...

EDIT .. I spoke too soon .. already the vote has gone the other way.. ho hum.
 
Hmmmmm....Let's see!

Xenophobic warmonger extremists, or Islamic fascist extremists?

I do not root for either team. They both can go to hull in handbasket.

Depends. I certainly condemn the violent actions on both sides. I do believe that Israel has gotten preferrential treatment by the press in the US, and needs to withdraw to the 1967 borders, and that the Palestinians have a right to statehood. Both sides have done bad things, but, I guess you would say that I sympathise more with the Palestinians. In the end, I want peace for all parties, I am not supporting one party to win a war over the other. I don't know if I should vote Palestinians or neither.

Basically sums up my feelings about both, and the entire region in general.
 
Israel has my support.
 
The security and prosperity of all people. There's no valid argument for choosing one side or the other in my opinion.
 
I believe Palestine should have some land as well as be independent if they chose, but not before they recognise Israel. Until then, they should never deserve independence.

So, Israel.

Don't you mean you "condemn" the "violent actions on both sides"? I'm assuming that's a typo.

Anyway, generally speaking I support Israel. Not in everything they do, but I'm definitely no friend of Hamas.

Yeah, that would be a typo. A bad typo. Nice catch.

That's a good thing, but Hamas and Palestine are not one and the same.

I was wondering how a guy with a Ghandi avatar was condoning fighting by both sides, and I just couldn't see it. ;)

Granted. But many Palestinians support Hamas and terrorist activity. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of any substantial group of Palestinians who don't. Can you supply one?
