Indeed you could. Although to be fair it has been awhile since christians were genocidally racist. It's pretty recent for jews and muslims though... |
The Israeli/Palestinian issue concerns zionists more than jews honestly.
Muslims aren't perfect, but people forget that there are Palestinian Christian, Jews, and Muslims, and most of them experience rather harsh difficulties from settlers and heckling from the IDF.
Truth is that neither side is perfect, but no one cares. Either you support Palestine sometimes and are considered a leftist fascist or support Israel sometimes and are considered a conservative christian nut.
It's disappointing to see how people think it's 100% religion when a lot of the problems stem from geopolitical and self-identification issues. After all, settlers taking Palestinian land and attacking people aren't religious issues. Neither are reports of attacks from the IDF/settlers and the mob-like mentality many Israelis have towards non-jews and arabs. We shouldn't forget that an Israeli Arab warned people of a shooter, and yet he was almost killed because the people there automatically assumed that 'first arab=the shooter'.
Truth be told, the situation is something people are ignorant about, and it pisses me off. I love visiting the place, and it isn't rare to see Palestinian/Israeli integration. It's certain issues besides religion that create the noticeable gap.
