There are extremists on both sides that would ve killing civilians with sticks and stones if they had no other means. Parties like Iran are sending one sided weapons to help them win. The US sending weapons to the other is not the only factor 'causing' this problem.
You can't both sides a genocide, especially when one side clearly started it by settling the other one's territory, taking their land, and displacing hundreds of thousands of people, without their input. Hamas only popped up decades into Israel taking more and more territory, after many Palestine tried many other ways to fight back but failed.
That's a very simplistic take on the history
Did Hamas put down their weapons after Oslo?
Did Israel pull settlers out of Hebron?
