    The horrors you commit in service of God. I know not what I believe as far as theology goes, but if there is any sort of benevolent god or gods, these people are going to face the worst punishment they have. If there are no gods, may this world give them the punishment they deserve, as unlikely as that may be. Organized religion is the worst thing to ever befall humanity, and it may wind up being the end of us someday. These actions would have made even most Nazis skittish.

      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.
