    but would we define the Holocaust as a ‘religious conflict’?

    No but for many more reasons. Nazis didn’t care much about religion they were primarily racists hence the term “antisemitism” and not “anti-judaism” or something. You could be a Christian with a Jewish grandmother and they would deport you because they only care that you “are a semite” which makes you an automatic member of the conspiracy against the “aryan race”

      Ok but then in the case of Israel you have what happened to the Ethiopian Jews, and, while I’m far from an expert on modern-day India, I doubt very much that persecution is happening along purely theological lines because that’s literally never how it works - it’s always a cypher for something else

        You’re right, I guess I just wanted to take a jab to Isn’treal white settlers painting themselves as Holocaust survivors because they converted to Judaism shrug-outta-hecks
