This global interactive poll will decide the direction of Avaaz's campaigning on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the coming months.

 

 
Over the last year, Avaaz has been running the following campaign: "The Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies at the heart of a global clash threatening to divide us all. People from every corner of the world want a just and lasting peace in the Middle East - and the international community can and must help bring all sides to the table. Start Real Middle East Talks Now, and stay at the negotiating table until we have peace." Do you support or oppose us running this campaign, or are you not sure?

     
 

Below are five different views about the Annapolis meeting hosted by US President Bush, and the process that will follow. Please tick all those with which you agree. The Annapolis meeting:

 
Could offer some hope to make people's daily lives better  
Depends on a real process being put in place in the coming months  
Represents a real chance to move toward fair and lasting peace  
Was designed to build an alliance against Hamas / Iran / Hezbollah  
Is on the wrong track altogether  
 

 
Based on what you know now, what do you think the likelihood is that the process launched at Annapolis will lead to a viable peace agreement?

         
 
Who do you support to play a leadership and mediation role in the peace process? For each possible mediator, please indicate whether you support, oppose, or are unsure about them playing such a role.

 
SUPPORTNOT SUREOPPOSE
President Bush and the United States      
The United Nations      
The European Union      
The international "Quartet"      
The Arab League      
 

What do you think about Hamas and the peace process? Please select whichever options you agree with (you can choose more than one):

 
They should be isolated and not engaged until they recognise Israel's right to exist and other conditions  
They are emerging as the true leaders of the Palestinian people  
They are radical Islamist terrorists with whom dialogue is pointless, who need to be isolated or dismantled  
They are an important Palestinian political force, which cannot be isolated and must be engaged with realistically  
Don't know  
 
Below are some of the more targeted campaigns Avaaz could run over the next few months. Please say whether you would support or oppose each of these campaigns, or if you are not sure:

 
SUPPORTNOT SUREOPPOSE

Engaging Hamas in talks      
Addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza      
Challenging all parties - including Hamas and Israel - to sign up to a future of two states based on 1967 lines, and an end to violence
