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
blaming religion for pissraels crime is like blaming christianity for the colonisation of americas. It's a tool used, not the root cause.
@mathemachristian @HasturInYellow it's' not "blaming" Christianity, it's acknowledging its driving force and purpose : the crusades, the Iberian "Reconquista", the portuguese empire, the Inquisition, all "holly wars" with massive killings, forced conversions, religious taxes and political power as well as plunder, commercial expansion and colonisation.
