American citizens: where do you stand on Israel?

[The Other Castro]

I'm Jewish, and I'll side with Israel over Palestine in extreme situations, but most importantly I'm in favor of a solution that leads to lasting peace. I think there needs to be some kind of place Palestinians can call home for that to happen. I think settlement development hurts the peace process, or whatever little there is. Jerusalem should be officially considered a part of Israel, but with a form of access available to Palestinians without going so far as joint control.

Here's how "The West Wing" dealt with Jerusalem:

KATE
After the Six-day War, the Israelis offered to give the U.N. diplomatic
status and immunities in the holy sights in Jerusalem.

WILL
So?

KATE
So if they were willing to do it in '67, why not now? They give the Muslim
holy sights the status of diplomatic missions. The Israelis can keep all
the sovereignty the want, they still can't enter without permission from
the Palestinians.

BARTLET
So the Palestinians would have a sovereign-like state that was inviolable
like a foreign embassy.

KATE
The Palestinians'll love it because it gives them the same custodial status
over the Haram like the Saudis have over sights like Mecca and Medina. There's
only one catch. When the Israelis offered it the first time they wanted
peacekeepers as part of the deal, in Jerusalem and throughout the West Bank.

ABBEY
The U.N. will cough up peacekeepers if it will solve the Middle-East crisis.

TOBY
It can't be the U.N. U.N. peacekeepers have no credibility with the
Israelis. They let Egypt attack Israel through the Sinai in '67. It's going
to have to be us.
