      You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?

      Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.

        It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)

            Most Jews in Israel are Atheists. That’s not even close to correct.

            Most surveys suggest that roughly 15-25% of Jewish Israelis do not believe in God or describe themselves as atheists or convinced non‑believers, depending on wording and methodology.

      I don’t know that I’d include judaism on a list of “three major religions.” Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.

          Leadershit are the ones making the difference right now. People’s sentiment mean nothing unless they hold their leaders responsible. People are dying right now and still no action is being taken.

          But the leaders are elected by the people and foreign conflict with always comes after domestic affairs like the economy

            Large parts of the world don’t have fair elections, or elections at all.

            Also, yes people vote on domestic affairs first. Doesn’t mean they support the foreign policy, just that it is a lower priority. We typically don’t have “if all else was equal” in voting decisions.

            Or we have situations like in the U.S. where both sides are in on the bootlicking. One side may go further than the other, but both choices are bad in this regard.

              If the population keep voting for those type of leaders there is zero reasons for them to care about Palestine and listen to people. The only way is voting them out of the system and we sre in a very critical time where Gaza may cease to exists in few years. Time is running out
