Just to be clear: I support the existence of both nations, I support their sovereignty as nations, as well as their freedoms and relative equalities. So while I throw the bulk of my support, in general, behind Israel, I don't think my support for this country necessarily precludes support for Gaza/Palestine.

More importantly, my support for Israel doesn't count as a blank check. It doesn't mean I support all of their actions inherently and without question. I think the view of this conflict has become polarized with time, with the prevailing view being that either Israel or the Palestinians are the aggressors or the victims. I don't view either side that way. I think both sides have done themselves few favors over the years, and that painting either one in this light oversimplifies a complex situation. Whether we're talking about Hamas launching rockets or building tunnels, or if we're discussing the settlements and invasions that continue to encroach on Palestinian land holdings, no one has clean hands in this, and both sides are to blame.

*shrug* I've never kept my support of Jewish nation a secret. Honestly, I'm more interested in the views of the others who answered this, since everyone else seems to favor Gaza/Palestine. I wonder how many of you share my views, and how many of you view them as victims in this conflict.

To be completely honest I haven't really been keeping up with it though. I don't necessarily hate Gaza.
