The current conflict isn’t based in Zionism. It’s a convenient tool, sure but it’s not the root. The crusades also weren’t based in Christian fundamentalism.
Religion is a tool to oppress and manipulate masses, but it’s not the driving factor in political rational. Just look at evangelical megachirch preachers in the U.S., religion is just a tool to them to gain more wealth.
The underlying issue is a struggle for power and control over a regions geostrategical resources. Has always been and will always be.
What do you think Zionism is if not the appropriation of Judaism (a religion) in order to settler-colonize the middle east?
