The religious oppression is a perfect tools by governments. There is no reason why Jews and Muslims can't live next to each other. They both refer to the Old Testament compared to Catholics and Protestants who are far more different in religion and practice to them.

There will never be a solution over the Holy Land that both sides claim, and that's ok. They can still live side by side in harmony.

But no. Instead of promoting calmness and harmony, governments worldwide promote war and fights. To demonise. To pick sides. For people to come together when they have common enemy. To benefit from having a middle east contact point for war and trade.

Only 2 US president to the best of my memory pushed for peace agenda - JFK and Clinton's Camp David.

Both did not last the presidency

Peace would probably mean losing a geopolitical ally. Makes more sense to fund a responsive war marching ready to act on western behalf on a moment’s notice

yeap, spot on. Israel is very significant to the Christians too because its in the Bible. For my mom, going there was akin to pilgrimage. But in my country which is predominantly Muslims & far right, Jews are demonized to promote "unity among Islam" and support Palestine. Anyone with Israel passport cannot enter my country - which is silly - because if you are a Palestinian, you have an Israel passport anyway.

And during these types of religious war, far rights will start campaigning on boycotting "made-in-Israel" products (while drinking Starbucks and using Intel chips). And governments become religious magnets to draw them in.

Another way to look at this is that all the very very rich 0.01% people in the US who funds politicians are pro-Israel. Venture funds are the most easiest to spot - it often includes clauses "only funds Americans and Israels".

That and the arms industry is a trillion dollar industry and it is a nasty industry. They need business. Those who are linked to this - are linked to CIA - to global wars - to very rich people - to politicians.

That, and something always happens nearing election. Whether this will help Biden stay or kick him out idk. Covid-19 kicked Trump out.

I was reading this book "A long way gone" by Ishmael Beah on child soldier in Sierre Leone last night - and how rebels attack countries and recruit them, how they no longer understand right from wrong.

Half way through the book, my face is swollen today from crying all throughout. War is a shitty thing.
