I don’t agree. Wars can also stem from many other factors, such as ideological differences and, most importantly, religious beliefs. Yes, wars may involve land conquest, but the motivation can remain deeply and unconsciously religious. The conflict between Israel and Palestine goes even deeper than just controlling resources.
True. Religious folks have been spreading 'democracy' since the dawn of civilization
Ideological difference and religious difference are excuses for power. Thats what *the people* make it about. But the funding and resources that make that war possible, then propaganda that pushes people into their tiny boxes of non-thought, are all fueled by people who want power, resources, and land.
In other words, the ideological differences are just the excuse for hating and dehumanizing the people that have what you want.
put myself in those shoes & i walk away from slaughter! resources is the key, imho, Isreal & Palestine included/ most people just want to be happy with fam. & frens ime. check origin of war & those responsible thru history & i see the same theme
