Comment on Greens capitulate to right-wing campaign against the Palestine movement

Yeah, sorry, that was badly phrased.
I hate the muslim religion. Most religions really. I know a lot of nice muslims, and people from many religions. It doesn’t make them bad people, but religion is an evil thing which allows humans to be their most evil. And the most evil people will use it.
It’s using religion as an excuse that israel was founded and managed to murder so many people and commit so much evil. So many millions of people were murdered as well using christianity as a tool, and also islam, and the list goes on.
But there are billions of people supporting religion, so it’s hard to criticize it without looking bad. I am offending billions of people by equating their religion to evil.
It’s like stealing for me. You’re not necessarily bad because you steal. That doesn’t necessarily define who you are, but it is something bad and you should be criticized for that. And if you make stealing the whole of your personality, like people do with religions, it’s going to be hard to not criticize you as a person.
Anyway, I shouldn’t post. I always make my opinion sound horrible.

There are lots of examples of mass murder without religion. Many communist regimes that were anti religion but killed millions. The matter of religion seems orthogonal.
