This is NOT a "Holy War"

Israel and Hamas are desperate for us to fall for the religious dimension of this colonial genocide, yet this is a deception from both sides

Both Israel and Hamas are desperate for us to fall for the religious dimension of this colonial genocide.

Yet both are misleading us about the fundamental dynamic of the coloniser, Israel, on the colonised, Palestinian people as a whole, including the West Bank.

-Israel, carefully positions cameras before blowing up mosques, in oder to rally the support of global Islamophobes in the US, UK & EU on its side.

-Hamas, bases its resistance against Zionist colonialism on Islam, in order to draw in military support from other Islamist armed groups or Islamic states.

-Palestine, as a whole, instead consists of people from all religious belief systems, including Christians and Jews.

-Gaza, under Hamas rule, includes Christians but excludes Jews

Yet the civilians, the women, the children being killed in their thousands are first and foremost human beings before any religion, and include thousands of Christians too.

If it was a religious war, other Christians would come to the aid of those thousands, who, being Christian, have really nothing to do with the radical Islamic dimension of Hamas. It's not a religious war.

No, it’s not a “Holy War”.

It's yet another colonialist genocide of indigenous people.
