Personally I'd like to see Israel drop their weapons and leave Gaza and all occupied territories, Lebanon, let Palestinians exist and give full israeli citizenship to those who'd want it.

When you have people with rocks and sticks in a fight with a high tech military, I tend to take the side of those with the sticks. That doesn't mean I support everything Hamas is doing, and that everything we hear about Hamas is misinformation.

I draw the line at killing civilians. Hamas does it as well as Israel.

I think you can be pro Palestine without condoning the death of civilians. If Europe and the US stopped supporting what Israel has been doing for the last 60 years, there might be a chance for a Palestinian state. For this to happen, politicians need to speak up: this is what Platner did, so I think it's a good thing.
