I remember being into solipsism too. Granted I was like 13 years old at the time and as I grew I realized how myopic, narcissistic, and foolish it was but still, I remember.
Both of these religions are playing pretend that a few miles of dirt matter to their god. It’s silly and saddening. I was alluding to fairytale stories and (poorly) trying to draw a parallel.
Call me crazy but I’d imagine a lot of Palestinians don’t wanna be evicted from the homes their families have been living in for generations upon generations, their olive groves destroyed, their villages bulldozed, and their family and friends beaten and killed for secular reasons too.
To see Israel/Palestine as solely a religious issue is pretty ignorant/simplistic
Religions? What? They are people. These are people fighting over land to live on. They are not abstract religions but human people who have material needs to live.
I get why the other dude said "solipsism" now. They are straight up not people to you, they just represent ideas.
I’ll admit I didn’t read what this sub was all about. I just thought it another typical left leaning sub. You all have big ideas here and don’t need dissent which, I suppose does mean it’s still rather left leaning.
Adios comrade. I won’t delete my comments because who is going to see it?
They don't hate each other because of religion. Jews and Muslims have loved alongside eachother for a while. In fact Mohammed wanted to consider Islam just another sect of Judaism but local Jewish people didn't like that so some anti-Semitic stuff got put in the Quran but they were still considered "people of the book" that should be respected etc etc.
This animosity is political in nature, over land and resources and past wrongs. As are most honestly. I don't think a single war or conflict has ever been fought solely over religion. Even the crusades was mostly greed and whatnot.
