It was the leadership of Isreal that dragged religion into things, using it to justify what is the same outcome as pogroms - genocide, even quoting religious genocide as justification.
So we have to question what is it in religion, which motivates genocide, call it pogrom or not, the outcome is the same, the people being genocided are humans just as valuable as any others, are they not?
Is pogrom a term only reserved for when it's done to Jews?
Are Zionists even real Jews?
