Religion is supposed to bring us together but it's been destroying the world for years. What's happening between Isreal and Hamas is not to be encouraged. They should end the war and stop killing innocent people. Gaza hospital was bombed the other day killing hundreds of people.

Honestly, but I think the cause of the war is not even religion, it's because of Ancestral lands which is very important to both sides

Peace would be great, though realistically, both sides feel personally wronged to such a degree I don't see peace ever happening.

While Palestinians may not have been treated fairly by Israel as far a territorial disputes over the decades and the may justify Palestinians wanting to fight back, the attacks by Hamas - especially the nature of them involving kidnappings etc - has only given Israel more justification for more military action for their own security, which ultimately just makes it worse for Palestinians, especially since Hamas often operates within residential areas. No matter what, it seems fighting by either side ends up just hurting more civilians.

Unfortunately I think the cycle we've seen will be repeated for decades to come, with no benefit for anyone in the region.

I hope they solve their issue one day and stop this unnecessary hatred and bloodshed
