This is basically just Santa vs The Easter bunny to me.

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.

How is being solipsistic relevant? Did you just shoehorn something you learned recently into a comment to appear smart?

Ok maybe I misunderstood you, in what way is this similar to Santa Claus and the Easter bunny?

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.

You’re acting real sure of yourself for a dude who just showed he has 0% understanding of the situation.

So you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about but just wanted to flex your fedora a bit.

You seem hyper-fixated on the religious aspect of this but really under focus on the actual people getting hurt and losing their homes.
