It has nothing to do with religion. The genocide is against Palestinians. Christian Palestinians are murdered the same as Muslim Palestinians. Atheist Palestinians are murdered the same as other Palestinians.

There are more hawk US American Zionists who are christian and atheist than there are Jewish. And the police beat the shit out of Jewish antizionists as hard as they best the shit out of Muslim antizionists.

This is a colonial project that is after land and water. The target of the genocide is Palestinians and their land. This is not about religion.

I'm not talking about Israel's motivations, I'm taking about Hamas. The US has sway over Israel, but not so much Hamas. If we're to bring an end to the conflict, it'll require talks between Hamas and Israel, so an external facilitator needs to be trusted by at least Hamas. I think Bernie Sanders has some fundamental issues there, and him being old isn't helping matters (though he's certainly a better option than Biden).

The conflict is caused by Israel, though. Most Palestinians aren't motivated to violence because of religion. They're pushed to violence by violence.

Remove the boot on their neck, and hamas would cease to exist.Through its going to take a few generations because Israel seems insistant on creating more and more violent extremists.
