One would think that Israel's main sin was in denigrating the Palestinian people as being somehow less refined than themselves.
Is that what you call 3 generations of social repression? The slow calculated ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian peoples and their culture from Israel is considerably more than denigration. It is genocide.
That a people so mistreated and so blatantly abused and murdered, as were the European jews, to then be given a country where they practice similar horrors on the indigenous population requires the evil of religion to sustain.
This war is specifically a religious war. All the resource and political-greed spats only line the path of constant war among the Abrahamic religions.
One needs only to remember that Israel was born right after the Holocaust and that they fought 4 wars to keep their land.
Revisionist bullshit. It wasn't their fucking land! They fought four wars to subjugate a captive population in rebellion against their European invaders/oppressors.
The Palestinians refused to even attend negotiations for including Israel in the Middle East.
There have been plenty of international discussions over the decades. All of them end with Palestine being told they have no choice. They must stop their resistance and submit to Israel's security demands which include absolute control over all resources and movements in all territories. Moves that slowly strangle the Palestinian identity.
That is what is happening here. Palestine is being slowly, deliberately pushed to extinction. When a subjugated people rebel they die by the hundreds just like every other day. Nothing changes.
In light of this topic, is religion involved? If so, how can rationality prevail?
Oh, Phatman. Do you really doubt? This is the crux of all religious thought. I have special privileges because my god has the bigger dick.
There is no rationality. There can be no rationality. This is religion. It is a serpent. The only way to deal with it is to kill it.
