    Ngl I am pretty disilluisoned with the whole “Both sides are fighting for religious reasons” thing.

    Israel is fighting because zionists are colonizer nazis and palestine is fighting because Israel is colonizer nazis.

      This is a story told to us. The reality is religion has very little bearing on geopolitics, genocide and modern warfare. It is often used to demonize a group (think Muslim terrorists) and to rally people to a side without questioning why.

      Religion isn’t the cause, it is just another convenient excuse.

      I completely agree, but I don’t see where GP would imply Palestine is fighting for religious reasons.
