Atheism and religious influenced nation states are some thing that do not seem compatible on the surface. However, many of the founding members of the Israel state where in fact atheists themselves. Due to the War on Terror melting New Atheist brains, many New Atheist like Israel as a symbol of the progressive west in a sea of 'backwards' Middle Eastern Islamic nations. This extends to Palestine and the Gaza strip. To people like Sam Harris, Palestinians haven't been radicalise by decades of brutal occupation but simply because they are Muslims.

Israel plays into this heavily. Many Israeli tourism adverts focus on its LGBT scene, particularly in Tel Aviv. This is often cynically weaponised against progressive groups who support LGBT rights as well as the Palestinian struggle.

In this video we go through Sam Harris's anti-Palestinian stance and the pink-washing of the Israeli state.
