Host, the problem with what you are asking is that I, for one, have grown up in an environment that has supported open thought far more then it is over there.
So, if I were over there and that happened, I would have enough pride in myself and desire for self-preservation of myself and my family that I would vote for the group that was more likely to support peaceful resolutions to the conflict, and therefore reduce the likelihood of injury coming to my self/family.
However, from my present view, it seems to me that this conflict is likely to end with one group being completely eliminated as a political entity, either through peace and assimulation (ha!) or through force to the point of genocide.
I think that, despite both sides sharing the blame for much of what has happened, the Palestinians have shown a complete lack of willingness and ability to work with, not just Israel, but the whole world, to find a solution, and so they get no sympathy when Israel retaliates to legitamite acts of war.
