You don't need to be religious to perform evil acts the same way you don't need to be religious to perform moral acts.

At best the Israeli government is completely incapable of distinguishing between enemy combatants and civilians/children and at worst is intentionally committing genocide.

Given all the evidence we've seen so far, it's certainly the latter.

Either scenario should be enough for the UN to step in with a heavily armed and permanent peacekeeping force to hold a long lasting ceasefire and start of a many decades long process of peace negotiations, rebuilding, reparations, and war crime court hearings.
