Palestine is being colonized for being a bridge between Asia and Africa, not for any “religious” reasons. Theodor Herzl, founder of the “zionism” was a racist colonizer who saw colonizing Palestine as bringing ‘civilization’ to ‘barbarians’ as the rest of Europe did when they were colonizing and enslaving Africa and Asia:
“We should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our existence.” Source [II]
The difference now is that the US has been the de facto leader of the imperial core since WW2, no longer UK in Europe, hence the US being its main master.
Religions are a consequence of class society and a region’s material conditions. Seeing anything entirely through the lens of religion is not very materialist.
It’s a tool that’s often used for imperialism, so while it’s not like it had “nothing to do with religion”, pointing at it instead of class society is kinda putting the cart before the horse.
Like Alsephina said, it seems like you’re still stuck in a religious mindset. The issue of religion will simultaneously be tackled by dealing with its root causes: class society and material conditions. As is what happened / is happening in socialist societies like the USSR, China, DPRK etc.

When/if a civil war or working-class revolution ever reaches the heart of the imperial core — the US — it will be after most of the world has overthrown capitalism to become socialist (assuming capitalism doesn’t kill us all by climate change or a nuclear war by then), not at the start of a hypothetical major war.

There wasn’t a problem here until the US-backed coup in 2014 and subsequent killing of eastern Ukrainians and Crimeans (if you’re wondering why Crimeans overwhelmingly support Russia) by the coup gov for resisting, which also doesn’t respect the Minsk agreements to stay neutral.
You mean insurgents funded by the west after having them give up their nuclear deterrence because it posed a major threat to capitalism/imperialism in the region.
Libya went from one of the poorest countries in the world to having the highest human development index in Africa by 2010 under the socialist government. Housing and healthcare were made a human right and youth literacy reached pretty much 100%.
Yes, I’ll have sympathy for the country that was basically extorted by the west through brutal sanctions into disarming itself so it could be invaded and destroyed, as any human should.
