I notice a lot of atheist groups, particularly "New Atheists" tend to side with apartheid Israel over justice for Palestine, usually based on the assertion that Muslims are backward and violent (ignoring Palestine's Christian population).
Thoughts?

I don't side with either. The fact that Israel was plopped down in the middle of a bunch of countries that didn't want it there.. well, that sucks. At the same time, it has been that way for a while, it is time for everyone to learn to get along. Both sides have committed atrocities, both sides are to blame for the destruction that the hate has caused. I am tired of being told I have to pick a side, but if I have to, I side with those in both "camps" that just want the fighting to stop.

@GipsyOfNewSpain - Thank you. I consider it a sign of respect to openly and honestly share my views. This sort of discourse helps me fine-tune my own.
@WilliamCharles yep... they are going to milk the holocaust until the 22nd century.
That I do not understand.
