What about atheists that dislike both sides because they're obviously carrying out a thousand-year religious grudge fight over fictional people? I sure as fuck don't support hamas. I sure don't support israel, either.

Stop giving them weapons, it's empowering genocidal theocracies fighting off genocidal theocracies. Just back away slowly.

For that, I'm sure I'll be called a islamophobe, by the palestinians, and an antisemite, by israel. I don't think those terms are anything but stealth blasphemy laws that religions want to impose on non-believers. Fuck religions and those that support them. That's the only way possible towards middle-east peace. As long as there are religions, that's going to be a religious terrorism hotspot, like it has been for thousands of years.

This isn't a religious question so your religious stance is irrelevant. You don't need to both sides genocide.
