No, will end with termination of all the caliphs - Hamas, Hezbollah, etc etc

Exactly. Stop being so short sighted. Check out crusade war in the past. Not over yet.

Sslee is smart. U are not

Small and weak to begin with. They make Israel strong - every time they fail to exterminate it

Crusade war by proxy 2024?

If get wipe out, only got themselves to be blamed

Quote: "Harmony just need mutual respect and win win."

Did the Muslims try to that with Israel?

Quote: "It's not possible ..."

Wrong. Nothing is impossible. With new tech. With robotic AI. No one needs to touch knife in the near future. You'll surprised

Quote:"Israel no future...."

Whether got or not very much depends on the outcome of this war - the ultimate war against terrorism

The fact is knife and religion are no different from one another as both have to be handled with care, kept away from the children and can cause harm and misery to the countless innocent people

Steps to end the war:

1. Rekindle the spirit of all sapiens as descendents from the Last Universal Common Ancestor. De-religion the issue.

".. religion unites,"???

It divides people into factions, it creates chaos and bloodbath.
Millions of lives have been sacrificed in the name of religion over the millenniums.
Religion has a gory history.

Religion is still the number one cause for unrest in the world.

On the other hand, a deep understanding of fundamentalism can potentially divide people eternally for several reasons:

1. **Rigid Belief Systems:** Fundamentalist ideologies often promote strict, unyielding belief systems. When individuals deeply understand and adhere to these ideologies, it becomes difficult for them to accept alternative viewpoints or engage in constructive dialogue with those who hold different beliefs.

2. **Ingroup-Outgroup Dynamics:** Fundamentalist groups tend to create strong ingroup-outgroup dynamics, where members feel a deep sense of identity and belonging within their group. This can lead to a perpetual "us vs. them" mentality, making reconciliation or compromise with outsiders seem nearly impossible.

3. **Lack of Critical Thinking:** Fundamentalism often discourages critical thinking and encourages unquestioning faith in doctrine. When individuals lack the ability to critically examine their beliefs, it can be challenging to bridge gaps with those who employ reason and evidence to support their views.

4. **Cultural Isolation:** A deep understanding of fundamentalism can lead to cultural isolation. Fundamentalist communities may limit interaction with those who don't share their beliefs, leading to further division and a lack of exposure to diverse perspectives.

5. **Historical Grievances:** Many fundamentalist movements are rooted in historical grievances or perceived injustices. Deep understanding of these grievances can fuel long-standing conflicts and resistance to reconciliation efforts.

6. **Fear of Change:** Fundamentalism often resists change and modernization. Deeply understanding the fear of change can perpetuate divisions as fundamentalists resist evolving societal norms and values.

7. **Echo Chambers:** Fundamentalist communities can serve as echo chambers, reinforcing their beliefs and shielding members from alternative viewpoints. This reinforces division and hinders open dialogue.

8. **Religious or Ideological Superiority:** Fundamentalism can breed a sense of religious or ideological superiority, making it difficult to engage in respectful discussions with those perceived as inferior or misled.

While deep understanding can be valuable for promoting empathy and dialogue, it can also, paradoxically, solidify divisions when it leads to a more entrenched commitment to fundamentalist ideologies. Breaking down these divisions often requires patience, open-mindedness, and efforts to foster understanding and empathy across different belief systems.

A profound grasp of science fosters strong unity among people, connecting them at a fundamental level. In contrast, religion can bring people together on a surface level but eternally leads to irreconcilable divisions.

Deep understand of science unites the ppl deeply. Religion unites superficially, but divide unconcilably

A common human body contains approximately 4 x 10^27 hydrogen atoms and 2 x 10^27 oxygen atoms. Even if we accumulate these atoms randomly, on average, each of us has hundreds of billions of atoms that once resided inside every other person and pig on Earth a year ago.

(Furthermore, your body not only contains atoms from all the people on Earth but also from King Solomon and dinosaurs that existed thousands and millions of years ago, respectively.)

Science unites. Religion divides - the people, you see

After all, all blue eyes link back to a single ancestor who lived between 6000 and 10000 years ago.

Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, etc etc

And expel our land occupiers

Just imagine - one day we Dayaks, Jakuns and Penans want to reclaim Sundaland

The argument that Israelis have entitlement to their land due to the historical presence of King Solomon and King David is rooted in the historical and religious narratives of the Jewish people. While it's important to note that historical claims can be complex and subject to interpretation, here's an argument based on this perspective:

1. Historical and Religious Significance: King Solomon and King David are prominent figures in Jewish history and religion, playing essential roles in the establishment of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the construction of the First Temple. Their presence in the land is significant to the Jewish identity and faith.

2. Biblical Promises: For many Jews, the land of Israel is central to their religious beliefs, as it is often seen as the promised land given to them by God. The biblical narratives, particularly in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), highlight the divine covenant with the Jewish people, including promises of the land as their inheritance.

3. Centuries of Jewish Presence: Throughout history, there have been Jewish communities living in the region, even after periods of exile and dispersion. This continuity of Jewish presence in the land is seen as a strong historical claim.

4. International Recognition: The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 received international recognition and support, in part due to historical ties and the injustices suffered by Jewish communities over the centuries.

And all Sapiens migrated out of Africa anyway - and settled somewhere , made their claims somehow

Quote: "Jewish are settlers on Arab Palestine land...."

History of mankind must be taken in the full stretch of timeframe. Their kings David and Solomon had settled there, right? Why not their land?

Quote:"Hamas longstanding goal is of an Theocracy Caliph Islamist ...."

It's important to note that some religious scriptures clearly contain passages to justify coercion or force conversion, as well as prescription of discriminatory treatment of those who reject conversion.

In a school where young minds bloom and grow,
Fundamentalism's shadow, an unsettling blow.
It divides the children into groups so stark,
Believers and nonbelievers, a division in the park.

In the core of their faith, they firmly stand,
An ingroup formed by beliefs so grand.
But in this division, the outgroup takes its place,
Isolation and ostracism, a sad and bitter taste.

Polarization brews, prejudice takes hold,
Innocent hearts, once warm, now turning cold.
In the classroom, intolerance rears its head,
Cooperation and understanding, too often left for dead.

Let's strive for unity, in diversity we'll find,
A world where all beliefs peacefully bind.
For in the hearts of children, there's hope to be seen,
A future where acceptance reigns, in every shade and sheen.

What really promote unity is this: Promoting education that fosters empathy and understanding among the next generation is a crucial step toward preventing war and reducing divisions based on false beliefs and dogma. Encouraging critical thinking and tolerance can help bridge gaps between people and reduce the impact of divisive ideologies.

Quote: "Religion unites people. That is the function of religion"

That's too superficial - seeing from one side of the coin. Not the big picture

It's the quality. Not just the quantity that matters
