MODERATORS
A lot of the times they are precisely the root
Are they the root, or are they a justification? Seems like a pretty reductive take, to be honest.
Wars have been occurring for a long time, and generally a desire for resources (including control over people) is a leading cause. Religion is an easy thing to use to get people to lay their lives on the line for you if they already have that belief. Equally it's an easy scapegoat for anti-religious people to blame wars on as well.
This conflict isn't just about religion. If it was then Israel's neighbours probably would have got involved as well.
