I don't think so. The religions are an easy way to legitimate wars but they are not the first reason for them. (And look at Buddhism. They found a way to a healthy lifestyle. ~Fake News. I didn't know what happend in Myanmar and Burma for example.)
In this case it literally is the cause. Israel was founded on this land because of the religious ties to this exact place.
Oh yeah?
Ok, I didn't know that.
Unfortunately even Buddhist aren't perfect. Just look what's going on in Burma/Myanmar.
But regardless it's correct that Religion often is used as a tool for parties to gain and exercise political power.
Yeah, i should have left that part out. Sorry.
No worries, it's a something I think a lot of people don't know so it's good to talk about.
