    It can be both bud. Saying it’s not religious when it’s quite literally drawn by ethnoreligious lines it’s just objectively wrong.

    Sure there’s a heirarchy but that doesn’t negate the fact that 98% of conflict in the middle East comes from religion and the other 2% is like petrodollar fueds.

    Similarly you can in fact be racially Jewish in as well as religiously Jewish, or both.

      Exactly, “ethnic” Jews ( who can be of any religions or atheists) are part of this situation . It’s not like Christian Palestinians have not faced hardships. People here are quick to say Israeli Muslims have rights as citizens, so this is not about Jews vs Muslims but Israelis (regardless of religiousness) vs Palestinians.

      The biggest **religious **claim here is that all Jews descend from a Levantine tribe thousands of years ago.
