Well, thats a difficult question.
It shouldn’t be difficult if you hold the opinion you claim to hold.

Both sides are bad.
What would you say is bad about the Palestinian side?

Yep, I knew that had Thomas Sowell’s stank all over it. I would also recommend looking into the following intellectuals on this subject:

It is interesting (if not disturbing) to note that “whiteness” is the only racial identity or construct which is universally examined in a negative light by academia:
If you look at the accompanying intersectionality chart, good spelling is presumably an aspect of whiteness (and therefor something not to be highly valued or emphasized).

“PEOPLE GETTING FIRED FOR REFERRING TO THE N-WORD - ACTIVISM OR PERFORMANCE ART?” by John McWhorter
Created:
Various words and deeds which are generally deemed offensive are nonetheless protected speech under the 1st Amendment— protected from governmental punishment, that is. However, the national zeitgeist is such that an offender will get fired from their job for one type of offensive speech but not another type:
“While I personally would not have engaged in an action that I feel is hurtful to people I respect, it would be wrong to retaliate against anyone for actions that are fully legal and protected under the First Amendment of our Constitution — our 'free speech' amendment," Weissmiller wrote in the post.
Perhaps the difference is if the act is committed at work or outside of work?

Back when I was flight instructing, I had a few annoying and tedious students whom I would frequently vent about to my roommates after a long day. So that my roommates would immediately know which one I was talking about, I gave them unique nicknames, and— viola!— instant recognition. One was a guy in his 60’s but going on his 80’s in demeanor, appearance, and overall health, he liked to drone on about arcane subjects but disliked listening to anyone else, he would burp a lot, and do back stretches on the floor without warning— a real odd bod. As he was also blind in one eye, I dubbed him “Old One Eye”— as one might jokingly call an animal when one is always seeing it from the rear when riding on a carriage; get it?
Another was a young man who had tragically lost his legs to a rare infection. A tough break, indeed, but he was also annoyingly cocky, held kooky conspiracy theory and religious beliefs, and just kind of creeped everybody out with his demeanor and penetrating, almost vampire like grey eyes. The Lord of the Rings movies were all the rage at the time, so I dubbed him “Legolas.” Get it?
Finally, there was a woman from Japan, anywhere from 28 to 38 years old. Intelligent and pleasant, she was also, without a doubt, THE weakest student I ever had— just no natural ability or instincts whatsoever. Whenever I vented about her, guys would just hear the “young Japanese woman” part and inevitably ask, “Is she a hottie?” I would always respond, “No, she’s not a hottie.” Hmm— Not-a-hottie— sounds sort of like a Japanese name— Nottahotti it was! These nicknames all stuck, and thereafter my roommates would constantly ask if I had any more funny stories to tell about these three.
Fast forward to the here and now— this site is basically a troll farm now, lacking in true wit and rife with vapid threads, stubborn ignorance, and non-committal, “drive-by” style posts. In light of these manifestations of mediocrity, I have probably given you a moniker of a mocking nature reflecting your online persona better (to me, at least) than your own chosen screen name, assuming you are a frequent enough poster on this intellectual desert of a site.
For example, there is a poster here I call “EverybodyLovesWinning!” How did I arrive at that? It derives from this poster’s current name. Think of the old sitcom “Everybody Loves [comedian’s name].” Then there is a certain, bad boy actor whose notorious, un-self aware boast was simply “Winning!” From there, you should be able to guess who it is.
If you’re curious to know what yours might be, just hit me up!

@Best.Korea
It has been explained as referring not to the whiteness of one’s skin resembling a cracker, but to the sound a whip makes when a white person whips a black person (as if this distinction should be much less offensive).

@Best.Korea
And what is the version of that word for white people?
Cracker. Usually pronounced “Cracka.”

@Greyparrot
The lesson is clear: if you are not black and you work for a living, or if you cannot fight like Jackie Chan, you must refrain from using that word, even the slang pronunciation, even if in jest. However, this white woman is an exceptional case:

@baggins
Either way it’s a waste of time imo.
Bingo, baggins! It is BK’s MO to waste people’s time. Or, in this case, BK’s alter ego aka “BK at the Mall.”
The contested thought process can be summarized thusly:
“Theory =/= fact
Fact = true information
Ergo Theory =/= true information.”
This is why I like to say that there only 2 types of thinking: binary and non binary!

@3RU7AL
are you suggesting it's ok to slaughter all palestinians because many of them hate jewsbut it's not ok to slaughter all jews because many of them hate palestinians ?
This here is what I call a double-edged sword because it makes just as much sense with the terms reversed:
“Are you saying it’s ok to slaughter all Jews because many of them hate Palestinians?
But it’s not ok to slaughter all Palestinians because many of them hate Jews?”
You have yet to address what I’ve actually said, which is telling. And your emotionally charged sophistry is as telling as it is dull *snore*

PERHAPS THEY "DREAM OF LIBERTY"
I have come to the conclusion that they dream of living in a world devoid of Jews and a Jewish homeland— even if it means the destruction of their own earthly lives and the lives of their children, sadly.
It is common in the western world yet misguided for us to project our own liberal, humanistic values onto other, vastly different cultures. A Muslim warrior once boasted, “We value death the way you [westerners] value life.” If one can die a martyr in Islam, their place in paradise is assured.

So is this a "yes" which would be one of only two answers to the question I asked?If it's not , it's only a "no". Do atheists believe no gods exist?Yes or no.
My answer to your question is the most direct, complete, and informative answer I can give. That you reject it leads me to be believe that you have an underlying agenda of some sort here.

Strong atheism posits that gods do not exist. Weak atheism merely lacks belief in them. I hope this answers your question!

You have the patience of Job.
Job is a character from the Bible.
Ergo I must believe in Jehovah![\sarcasm]
Patience is a noble and admirable trait, but I have learned firsthand that it can become generous to a fault.
