I’m going to catch nothing but heat for this, but here we go: Israel and Palestine.
We’re into day umpteen of Israel and Palestine shooting at each other. We need to look back and figure out why.
One can argue that the Torah, back in Biblical times, was promised to the Three Patriarchs as Eretz Yisrael, the Jewish homeland. One can also argue that the various Arab groups, who lived there, also had dibs on the place. We’re never going to solve that one, as the land that you and I know as the Holy Land is important to just about every religious group you care to mention.
Generally, Buddhists, Shinto and Hindi adherents don’t get too exercised about the area, as the land isn’t part of their religious heritage. As a Reform Druid, Stonehenge gets me all moist and meaty, but not the Holy Land.
It’s been fought over since the dawn of time. Name the empire and at some time or another they’ve had a piece of the action. The last owner was the British who tossed the keys in 1948, walked away and said "Eff it. You figure it out. We are so gone."
Needless to say, since then, every faction on the ground, have spent lifetimes justifying their claims, counterclaims, excuses, reasoned argument, pissy attitudes and unrestrained violence as being ordained by whatever Deity you care to mention. Like all groups we can come up with some truly hideous behaviours all in the Name of God.
Which is the part that has been overlooked since the dawn of time. The Deity never said what team he or she is rooting for. It’s the humans who are messing it up with our ‘interpretations’ of what The Deity wants.
Which brings me to the possible solution. The Deity has said, repeatedly, that killing each other is Not Good. So stop. Knock it off. Park the snotty attitudes and vengeful justifications. You’re both not obeying the basic rule of any religion, which is don’t do something to someone that you wouldn’t want done to yourself.
Oh, that’s right. Mental gymnastics allows you to justify slaughter. The actual word of The Deity doesn’t much matter.

If it wasn’t religon then maybe it might be something else (see Crips and Bloods). There are always 4 or so wars going on at any one time and every generation seems to have a major one. How many Nobel Peace Prizes have been issued and still no peace? Solve this and even a 1% cut of the military savings would make you the world’s richest man.
I couldn’t agree with you more on this subject.It amazes me what people will kill in the name of,and the twisted logic that will be heard from their lips.Wrong is wrong.
