1. Al Jazeera is the qatari government, who is definitely not a reputable source for anything Israel-palestine
2. sheikh jarah is not Israel coming to kick out palestinians of their rightful home to make room for jews, its a legal matter, where jews owned the land then jordan conquered the land and moved palestinians to live there, then Israel conquered the land and the previous jewish owners had a legal battle with the palestinians that moved in during jordan control and won. | r/worldnews | 1.

I understand what you're trying to say but let me ask you:

> I do think the vast majority of Gazans are just folks wanting to live their life the best they can before they die
This might be the case but most likely isn't, where according to a 2013 survey (and likely even more extreme after years under Hamas rule), 84% believe that stoning is the appropriate punishment for adultery, among many other beliefs that would likely differ vastly from yours.
There are many interesting facts hidden here:

That would make sense, but in this case there is another part of the polls who back it up as "legit", and that is the fact that the poll was also done in the WB, in places controlled by the PA, and the numbers are pretty much the same, actually, the WB has even more support for Hamas, while the Gazan support went down but just by like 4-5 % (still a majority).
If the polls were totally incorrect then there would be more disparity between the 2 sides of Palestinians, but it is pretty much the same. | r/worldnews | That would make sense, but in this case there is another part of the polls who back it up as "legit", and that is the fact that the poll was also done in the WB, in places controlled by the PA, and the numbers are pretty much the same, actually, the WB has even more support for Hamas, while the Gazan support went down but just by like 4-5 % (still a majority).

No gay rights. No women rights. No relgion rights. They want to create a muslim theocracy, something anyone who's against those things should oppose.

The vast majority? There are millions of people in Gaza and only like 30-40 thousand deaths, most of which are Hamas. The number of Hamas left is dwindling, so the available pool of future deaths is pretty low at this point.

Those decisions to support hamas have led to consequential events for Gazans. They can learn from that, the lesson being don't vote for bad leadership who start wars. | r/worldnews | No not at all.

Pretty fascinating.
Been diving into a few articles. Starting in and around 48’ it appears each of the successive conflicts between Israel and Palestine coincided with increasing pressure against Jews in the ME.
Kind of an odd phenomenon if you think about it. Israel establishes a homeland for Jews and in turn that same action forces other Jews out of their homelands. | r/worldnews | Pretty fascinating.

I mean blatant and overt antisemitism has been a staple of Muslim countries for a long time. There’s a reason there are virtually no Jews anywhere else in the Middle East outside of Israel, and many of them did not go willingly. Yet the Muslim population in both Israel and Palestine has done nothing but grow. Funny how that works. | r/worldnews | I mean blatant and overt antisemitism has been a staple of Muslim countries for a long time.

That's also not 100% true. There are Israeli Arabs that refer to themselves as Palestinians, but there are a majority of Israeli Arabs who do not refer to themselves as Palestinians (depending on how you consider Druze, Beduiin, and how they define Palestinians - as a separate identity than Israeli Arabs, or just meaning Arabs that lived in the area). As most things it is very nuanced. | r/worldnews | That's also not 100% true.

Well probably because most countries are pretty lax on those laws.
I was in Java/Indonesia and morocco which are both islamic countries/regions but they seemed fine other than the ceremonies in the middle of night.

>yet it seems that many Muslim majority countries are run with a strong Shia predispositions towards how the law is followed through
Globally Islam has always trended toward conservative orthodoxy despite adulation towards liberal muslim governments and bodies. I don't think there is a single islamic government that started liberal and stayed that way, their politics are (always) constrained by what was laid down 1400 yes ago. | r/worldnews | >yet it seems that many Muslim majority countries are run with a strong Shia predispositions towards how the law is followed through

People who haven't actually read the Bible front to back usually just assume thst everything in the New Testament is Jesus' words.
It's also obvious that most religious people just take whatever their priest/imam/whatever say as gospel and never try to actually read their holy book themselves. Meaning they are now going to blindly believe whatever their priest/imam/whatever believes or wants them to believe.
Tl;dr: they get it from their priest/imam/whatever's teachings. | r/worldnews | People who haven't actually read the Bible front to back usually just assume thst everything in the New Testament is Jesus' words.

The Old Testament doesn't talk about hell. It talks about Gehenna, an actual physical place in modern day Israel where you can go to a day. The ancient Jews thought it was the most cursed place on earth, and having your dead body thrown into that place is equal is the worst fate you could get. (Jews to this day are incredibly concerned with the proper burial of their dead, so being left to decompose in a cursed place is as bad as it gets. This would be Jesus personal understanding of a place of punishment after death)
Hell as the modern Christians understand it is largely from Revelations, (eternal torture with no pardon) the latest section of the bible and by far the most unhinged. It is basically just murder porn fan fiction staring Jesus as a genocidal maniac, written by some early Christian who had been ostracized by his community. | r/worldnews | The Old Testament doesn't talk about hell.

I think immediately resorting to 'it was probably aliens' is not necessary if you're already skeptical of major religions, for a few reasons.
1) There's lot of normal phenomena that looks really weird/ optical illusions and so on, that could be construed as miraculous.
2) There's an element of survivorship bias when considering major religions; for those that are the main faiths from antiquity, there's many novel religious cults that didn't survive, and many which emphasised miracles and following a singular figure. The worship of Sol Invictus, favoured by some in the Roman era could've developed into a monotheist faith, the [cult of Pythagoras](https://www.thecollector.com/cult-of-pythagoras/) and more such things I don't have the energy to search up right at the minute.
>Sodom and Gomorrah turned to a pillar of salt? Maybe a nuclear explosion or other similar technology

I had to go read the meaning of consequence. The way you wrote it, it sounds like it's the people's fault. Is that what you mean? Then I went and checked if the word 'consequence' insinuates fault. It doesn't, but one of the synonyms is 'repercussion', which definitely does. Anwaaaayyy | r/worldnews | I had to go read the meaning of consequence.
