I have tried arguing with the people I would categorise as ‘anti-intellectual’ more than 99% of people to ever have lived trying to understand them

this betrays a lot about your attitudes towards 99% of people and how you interact with them

Consider that the ones who aren't as enlightened as you just haven't had the privilege to get the free time, financial flexibility, and education to spend a lot of time and effort self-reflecting on their own intellectual purity. Consider also that there are many in that group who count you as anti-intellectual for your prioritization of the ideals of a squeaky clean intellectual platform over the material realities of living in the world and having to engage in conflict and contradictions.

Hoping for civilian safety on both sides, and hoping that the Palestinians are able to reclaim as much of their stolen territory as possible.

I literally said I don't worship a god. That's blasphemy. You should examine why you're so much more hung up on making your magic sky fairy reddit arguments than you are about the Palestinians getting bombed right now

Don't you think the more parsimonious explanation is that this is a war of apartheid and colonialism?

There are Muslim and Christian Israelis and Jewish and Christian Palestinians. Sure, religion plays somewhat of a role in the conflict, but this is no more of a holy war than Operation Enduring Freedom or the Russo-Ukranian war, except that you wouldn't ever accuse those of being about religion except in the context of this argument as a defense mechanism.

✨that's the point✨

Ah yes, the famously stopped Israel/Palestine conflict. You're right, I forgot that they had declared a ceasefire some time after the last Israeli raid on Palestine "years" ago, back in July 2023, where they sent thousands of troops, drones, and missiles into Jenin.

Calling the tactic of "executing civilians in their homes” a Hamas tactic carries a lot of water for Israel as they shoot missiles directly into apartment buildings as you type.
