On a train with no headphones. What's the general gist?
You never read my previous comment.
Or put 2+2 together..
I also said before that Christianity has blood on ots hands from hundreds of years ago not recently.You probably should do a bit of research first, Christianity has a lot of blood on it's hands, FFS people have just been talking about Northern Ireland where people kill each other over wat flavour of Christianity is best.
Also you reference India, well there is a lot of terrorism there not carried out by Muslims:
Hindu terrorism - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
As I said it's stupid killing people in the name of fake gods.

Just talking about his 20 years reporting from Palestine and how basically if you treat people how the Palestinians have been treated its not going to end well.
Also potential reasons why it happened when it did and about Israels relationships with other Arab countries.
Said Hezbollah getting involved would be a game changer which since the interview they have

You must be thinking of mathematics...
Pythagoras 500BC ish. Still kind of applies.
Euclid, the father of geometry, 200 years later.
Physics, maybe? Archimedes; a ton of stuff including displacement, calculus (iirc), and good at screwing too.
If you want to get to the moon and back, then a grasp of Newtonian physics is pretty handy. 400 years old.
I'm pulling your leg a bit mate, but my personal opinion is that science isn't enormously helpful in the argument against religion. As soon as I say, my God (or Gods) exist beyond the realms of the observable universe, it kind of falls down as a 'proof'.
My entirety personal take on it is believe in whatever you want, or believe in nothing at all, but don't think what you believe is the only possible truth, and that it puts you beyond the law of man.
Anyway, I digress. For my money though, it isn't religion that's the biggest threat to humanity - it's greed and short-sightedness, and our simple inability to come up with a system of economics that doesn't destroy the planet.

Wouldn't it be good if our media reporting included this sort of background for balance.

Many conflicts are not fundamentally sectarian, they are just battles for power between different groups (northern ireland being the most obvious example where the sectarian element is ultimately over stated). Israel and associated conflict is though.

Israel bombed it when it was open.

One curious thing about UK coverage of Israel is the inherent belief that somehow a Jewish person born and raised exclusively in the UK is some sort of authority in talking about it.

Indeed, and in fairness some more of those Palestinian children will soon be dying slow, agonising deaths from secondary infections and suchlike because of the absence of power and medical supplies.
It's hideous and immoral and ultimately maybe even self-destructive. It's the best ever recruiting tool for the nutters like Hamas.

Wait. So are we saying Starmer supports Palestinians in Gaza, and is also a massive two-faced bitch?

The US government is tarting to talk about human rights in relation the Israel military actions if what Antony Blinken says holds true,. Lloyd Austin half hinted at this as well so maybe international opinion is starting to turn slightly.

I don't think religion is bad, it's good to have a faith, the problem arises when we mix religion with politics and geoeconomics. Government should strictly be secular.
I think it is.
They had some sympathy after the initial events, but I think some of the goodwill is starting to fade. Not surprising if you admit to cutting off water supplies I guess.

Can't see it, Netanyahus waited a long time for this opportunity.
Hamas have derailed talks about normalisation between Israel and Saudi, everyone's a winner except all the poor sods who have been killed, injured, or displaced.
Geo politics eh, what a shit show
It's horrendous isn't it. Hamas doesn't give a shit about its people, the Israeli government doesn't give a shit about its people, and both are acting under the pretense that they're protecting their own people.

Netanyahu is starting to get questioned by his own people for how even if he wasn't warned by Egypt 9which the US congress confirmed he was) he was so unprepared for an attack.
Andrew Mitchell who is a (still) a government minister was talking about get aid in to the Gaza Strip. Opinion is on the turn it seems.
