It doesnt even have to be an Israel issue. I'll play Devil's advocate here because you know someone has to.

The linage of Hagar? Well thats an interesting story in itself. Infact I think that story which was written by a human is the base for many of the problems we see today. God gives Abraham's wife permission to allow him to sleep with her handmaiden, turns around and years later allows her to get pregnant. This leaves 2 offspring each with a different mother. God in his infinate wisdom states the Hebrew child will be ruler supreme and the Egyptian and his offspring will be the ass of man. People actually took that as reality.

It certainly pays if you lucky enough to be born Hebrew right. Im suprised it took as long as it did for an Arab to write their own mythology. The irony of all of this is these "stories" shape politics in this day and age.

In the times Ive been to the Holy Land I met many Palestinians who were Christians.

Ive read some of the Koran and the Old Testament is every bit as violent. I prefer Homer to the both of them.

Thanks for the quotes I had never read them either.
