Ishmael will forever and always be a thorn in the heel of his brother Isaac. Ishmael has built tunnels to ensure that Palestine has made its claims on God’s chosen refuge for his people; the Jewish race.

Isaac has every right to claim the state of Israel, but Ishmael has every right to claim a homeland known as Palestine. A two-state solution is the only way to ensure a future for both brothers to live side-by-side peacefully forever and always.

The tunnel system built by Ishmael must be destroyed, so Isaac can rest comfortably again and not have to live in fear of history repeating itself. Both brothers must agree to put their differences behind and start a reconciliation process focused on posterity for generations to come.

Isaac must refrain from his heavy-handed tactics being inflicted on Ishmael in order to prove to the world that genocide is not the answer to the age old-question being asked everywhere these days. Is this God’s intended purpose — his chosen people to be defined by hatred or love for humanity?
