This isn’t a religious war. Even Hamas rewrote their charter in 2017 to specify that their resistance is against the Israeli state and not Judaism, and ended their relationship with the muslim brotherhood.
Sure many are religious and fundamentalists, but the majority Palestinian resistance is resisting because of colonialism and apartheid, not because a cleric has demanded it holy to do so.
As a Jew, I’d like you to know we don’t have the concept of hell.
The afterlife is pretty simple, if you lived as a good Jew (they aren’t) you live with God. If you live as a bad Jew, you live without God. That’s really about it.
That’s the Christian heaven and hell as I understand them too. From when I was being taught from someone who had studied the scripture, as a theologian, in an intense historical and philosophical way said the only canon Christians have on hell is that it is living without god. A lot of the imagery of Christian hell is about as biblically supported as Santa Claus. I could be wrong but that man knew more about Every Abrahamic religion than anyone id ever conversed with, and plenty of non Abrahamic ones too.
Interesting I actually didn’t know that. One of the unfortunate parts of growing up with a bible thumper Christian step mom is you don’t actually learn the bible, you get told bullshit that isn’t true.
Fun fact, you’ll meet plenty of Jews who are atheistic as well. There’s a running joke in the community “ahh yes the time honored Jewish tradition of atheism.”
Without getting too personal, I’m actually agnostic. At least I think that’s the proper term. I don’t wonder if God exists, I wonder if it matters if God exists.

6/10 - like the drama you put into it but I think overall there is not enough Iam14AndThisIsDeep.
Yeah, seems like the kind of thing that would be upvoted way more on reddit.
There is no hell, and that is the problem; those fighting believe in it.

Hell was straight up stolen from the norse mythology, they kept the name and everything.

As a Catholic school attendee I’d like to thank you for the half-days we had every Wednesday to accommodate CCD kids
