Muslim cleric says that the conflict between Arabs and Israel is purely religious(really??)

The religious aspect of the Israeli-Arab conflict is always front and center in the statements of Arab Muslim leaders, and yet it is the single element most frequently and immediately discounted and ignored by Western foreign policy analysts. Get the truth in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.



“Controversial UAE cleric apologises to Israelis for past remarks,” Middle East Monitor, August 18, 2020:

An Emirati preacher of Jordanian origin, Wasim Yousef, has apologised to Israelis for hateful remarks issued by him in the past.

“When I saw some Palestinians burn my country’s flag because of the peace treaty with Israel, I decided to apologise to every Israeli man if I had offended him in the past,” Yousef wrote on Twitter.

“The Emirati people were so happy with the agreement [for normalisation with Israel], they forgot about the coronavirus pandemic,” Yousef claimed, adding that “the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, Fatah and [Islamic] Jihad have been trading in the Palestinian cause for 70 years, and now time has come for peace and an end to the death dealers and thieves of money and donations.”

Yousef’s tweets sparked widespread controversy, especially after he claimed that the conflict between Arabs and Israel is purely religious….

The silliest thing of all mankind is to fight over religion. It is something which is purely imaginative with no concrete evidence in today's world context. Everything is all based on human interpretation of events thousand of years ago.
Just believed in your own religion n do not imposed on others.

Why need to fight? U pray your God n I pray to my God. Religion should be a freedom of choice. Even if u don't believed in any religion, it's perfectly fine.
