Behind every Isaac there is an Ishmael. We don't
speak (we don't *think*!) about how the family made its fortune.
We have always humbly obeyed out God and walked
in the path of self-righteousness....
The Palestineans are descended from Ishmael, and the Israelis
from Isaac? That just may explain clarify the root cause of
the present-day animosity between the Israelis and the
Palestineans.
Abraham should have got a vasectomy after he had Ishmael,
or Sarah should have had an [you know what],
