My support of palestine is it having its own piece of land to call its own, along with Israel having its own..

How is that "supporting Palestine"?
What you support, it seems to me, is the Israeli position.
Most of the groups speaking for "Palestine" still have the stated goal of driving Jews into the sea. Which one of these groups do you support and how does this group further the goal you want to reach?
As I see it there are three major groups representing Palestine:
1. The PLO
The PLO (consisting of Fatah who run the PA) currently refuse to act against Hamas or Hizbollah and have supported Saddam's invasion of Kuwait.
2. Hamas
Hamas want to drive the Jews into the sea and are actively targeting Israeli civilians (primarily children).
3. Hizbollah
Hizbollah also want to drive the Jews into the sea and are acting much like Hamas, shelling Israel from Lebanon and Gaza.
WHICH one of these groups do you support? Which one of these groups will achieve the goal you state and how?
You cannot "support Palestine" because "Palestine" is an abstract concept. "Palestine" doesn't do anything. "Palestine" is a piece of land consisting, politically, of a Jewish and an Arab part. Supporting a piece of land means nothing. It is political positions and/or people who hold them who you support or not support.
You see, when I say I support Israel, I mean to say exactly that: I support the current official position of Israel. You can look it up and you will know exactly what I support.
So I ask again, when you say you "support Palestine": WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
