    There are about 16 million Jews.

    There are about 1.9 billion Muslims.

    Please stop portraying a conflict between one group of Jews and one group of Muslims as some sort of global religious war.

      I’m confused by your comment.

      I’m not portraying it as a global religious war.

      If anything, it seems like you are, by giving global religious stats…?

        I am guessing it was about an imprecision of language issue - e.g. “(the state of) Israel” rather than “Jews” and “Hamas” rather than Muslims (except it is more than just Hamas, so maybe… people in charge within Gaza? except they also are receiving weapons from outside of that… it is indeed a VERY complicated issue)

        And then in the height of irony, for some reason that reply was aimed at you:-).
