    Religion is all these people have left. Can’t condemn them for their last semblance of hope in a hostile environment. Nor can you place sole blame on religion for the conflict. It’s a lot deeper than that

    (They are allowed to eat during Ramadan. that is if Egypt and Israel didn’t withhold international aid, such as flour)

      I’d suggest they find something better than religion to put their hope in.

      Claiming this conflict isn’t about religion is like claiming the US civil war wasn’t about slavery. In the end it’s jews that wanted the territory to be jewish, and muslims that wanted the territory to remain muslim. If judaism and islam hadn’t existed, all of the ‘deeper’ reasons and divisions just fall away.
