Israel is about 47% Jewish as of a recent poll, and that is about 41% of the global Jewish population. I have seen polling saying that roughly 50% of Israel supports the genocide.
So here we have roughly 20% (plus everyone outside of Israel who supports this insanity) of a major world religion who are gleefully in support of genocide. I would imagine the percentage who support the settlements expansions and all the violence around that is much higher.
My hatred of religion has swelled recently. It truly makes me believe you are a defective human being and that none of your other thoughts have any merit. I'm wholly uninterested in hearing swill from the mouths of people so hypocritical to their very core.
Edit: my brain did a stupid and my math was bad. Turns out it's a little worse than I had said. Thank you

Feeling hatred toward a religion or people as a whole can become corrosive, both mentally and socially. Focusing on systems of power, policies, and actions, rather than entire populations or beliefs, keeps your outrage precise and effective in advocating for change.
Religion is a system of power, and inherently corrupt, injust and repugnant one.
My outrage is precise. It's precisely targeted at toxic power structures that entrench evil humans in positions that allow them to destroy the lives of uncountable numbers of people.
It's not my fault that that so accurately describes religions.
