The grounds of conflict are colonial! It’s not a religious conflict, it’s Europeans invading Palestine and ethnically cleansing the land of Palestinians.

i didn’t say it was religious, if i did point me to it so i can fix that lol.

Also they aren’t europeans, they’re jews? Who historically inhabit the same lands that palestine sits on, that’s why israel was put where it was originally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews

Zionists around the turn of the 1900s openly called it colonialism when they were discussing it and in their writings.

what you think nobody lived in palestine prior to this? That’s literally how making new countries works. People are everywhere, the governments around them change, the bodies around them change, colonization is a thing that has happened throughout all of human history. Not trying to defend colonialism, but it’s just something that has existed throughout history, it’s been done now, if palestine were to “decolonize” israel, that would also be colonization. You might be able to justify it in your mind, but at the end of the day everything pretty much just boils down to colonization.

Thinking that you can’t learn from historical examples because everybody is too different to ever compare anything is nonsense.

do you think i’m talking about the conflict specifically? I’m not, i don’t think i did once. If you think i do you’re either wrong or misreading something. Or you’re trying to deflect from the point i was making in order to bait me into a line of reasoning i didn’t intend on getting into.

Did i ever say that you can’t learn from historical examples? It sounds to me like you’re just making shit up here, but maybe i’m wrong and went into a fugue state and wrote a three hundred page report on this. I’m so baffled as to why you’re trying to tell me this right now.
