Israel is literally waging a war to expand borders, so yeah, maybe they want to be left alone in the sense that they won’t accept any state other than Israel existing in the end.

It’s … wild because this is part of the roots of the Jewish people being chased from their lands.

In a world where folks accepted other peoples gods but revered their own … the monotheistic Abrahamic religions fucked all that up.

The problem with believing in gods is that you think you are right. That makes other people wrong. And so it begins…

That is one way to see it, but it’s also possible to have a more pluralistic view. Like in India which has a long tradition of many religions co-existing with respect.

You can respect someone and still think they’re wrong. Just like I respect you right now.

But if you truly believe in your religion, then you must believe that other religions aren’t right.

Not necessarily. If I wear rose-tinted glasses while yours are tinted green, I may still believe that the worlds we see are lit by the same light.
