That is really the tragedy about the whole thing. A small warmongering minority on both sides pulls in people who really just want to live in peace and safety and have enough to eat, a roof over their head,... who are likely the vast majority on both sides.
Yeah I think so. We get told it's about "religion" but it's really about geopolitical interests and a transnational military industrial complex that constantly stir this stuff up and exploit religious tensions.
It is about religion in the sense that religion makes it much easier for a small number of malicious people to control a large number of people and make them do things against their own interest.
Very true.
Well put. The warmongers kill innocent people. The next of kin want revenge, and empower the warmongers on their side. And onward the circle turns.
It also doesn't help that the warmongers control the flow of information.
