Government isn't formed yet but will most likely have a minority of women since coalition is made mostly of religious parties. This is looking to be the most Conservative government in Israeli history headed by the "liberal" right-wing Netanyahu

Russia/USSR has always had a hand in ME wars. As did other "world powers". The cold War as it seems never ended.

Christianity is not similar to Judaism. Judaism do not seek to spread itself and convert unwilling people etc. Islam is inclusive. Christianity is convinient and maybe loosley derived. There many differences in between. When you say more than most to what exactly are you comparing? I'm not sure i can take you seriously you seem highly biased

i disagree with it being fair. It’s about as fair as saying all religions are the same. Or some other generalisation of religious people. Which once again, is shallow since there are different types. Thia doesn’t do any justice to the subject. If the analysis of the subject is shallow then there’s not much chance of having a meaningful conversation

Sure. Montheism came as alternative to then loads of other socalled pagan tribes, each with a different experiment of religious invention. Some with sex based ceremonies, some involved human sacrifice/cannibalism, some had various gods for various purposes. Etc But by no means did they "invent" the basic family / social rules and values. Nor tried to convert others to their religion. The sex thing is not really a sex thing. It's a anti-desire/greed self control thing that’s my prevelant in most religions.

with that said, the basic understanding of what God is, the Hebrew texts and the punishment/reward mechanisms as well as ceremonies are completely different in those religions

"afterall indians were instrumental in israels creation (highest volunteer army to fight for Israel)".

This is interesting. Hadn't heard of this. Do have a link to read up on? I know of Indian soldiers fighting the Ottomans in ww1 are you referring to that?

Not in any significant way though as far as I can tell. Influence went both ways. Today's progressive Judaism and has some influences of Christianity. While living under Christian rule had shaped the orthodox Ashkenazi tradition

Religion is great when applied to self. It is absolutely horrible when attempting to impose itself on others. People are prone to madness. Religion or no.

Blatant and directed misinterpretation allows religion to be used as a weapon and means of control by clever conman. Yet every system of hierarchy we create is bound to be corrupted just look at the state of nations. With rule of law. Fighting internally and with other nations. Our modern political systems can also be hijacked by madmen

In Judaism. Encouraging conversion from people outside the faith is strictly prohibited. And converting into the faith is a daunting process. Compare to the other derived BIG religions which offer easy conversion and actively work to convert (to score god points) you can understand why Judaism didn't grow and spread like Christianity and Islam. Saying "Abrahamic religions" is a very shallow overview which suggests those different faiths are the same

Judaism is nothing like Christianity

That just means they were present before the Bible. The Bible didn't invent those. Human condition remains the issue religions aimed at. Sure. It was used as an instrument of control but we humans have a tendancy to blame a 3rd party or system or environment (in hindsight usually). See what religion made us do! No my friend. There are human beings driving this thing. With human beings at every junction making horrible and irrational decisions.

We've proven time and again that we don't require religion in order to dominate brutalize torture kill and rape the "other". We humans like to justify crimes. Religion is an inevitable invention. Considering we know virtually nothing about our universe and environment

That's a very non diplomatic statement to make. Especially considering the current shape of things. Most interesting that the term used by him to label China as "competitor". Just awfly strange imo

That’s the rational and correct move 👍

Well. He's the only side with an actual professional army...his ethnic group (Alawites) control the army and most industry and are loyal. Also he's got military backing from Russia and Iran

He is kept in (diminishing) power by Russia /Iran. In return he offers them freedom to operate in Syria. Otherwise would have been overthrown most likely

What was he subjected to?

It's a trick used by fascists the world over

Those are Iranians

They are using nerve gas on civilians. They are butchering and denying medical services and medicine. All crimes against humanity

Of course they can. That's been the illusion since feudal times. It's been proven to work

Uprising

Revolution. This is beyond protest

It's not that dissimilar to business contracts. Only social, for the purpose of establishing a family. Why we people use contacts at all in this life? Well lookup the human issue of trust.

It's nothing more than a contract between partners

a bit of an overkill innit
