Palestine: A Bleeding Wound in the World's Conscience
The area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, best known as the Holy Land or the Land Of Peace, due to the co-existence of the world’s three main monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - has, in practice, never been holy or peaceful. A more fitting term for this area would be the Land Of Holes or the Land Of Wars. Despite the special attention given to this land by God, those in the region wanting to prove their loyalty to his Word have always chosen a different path – a path that would never satisfy God or his messengers.
According to sundry holy books, God promised Abraham, even before he had children, that he would be the father of a mighty nation and that he and his descendants would be given the land of Canaan. Abraham had two children; Isaac, the youngest, and Ishmael, the oldest. Jews believe they are descendants of Isaac and Muslims believe they are descendants of Ishmael. Christians believe that Abraham is “the ancestor of all who believe.” The Koran mentions that the prophet Mohammed is a direct descendant of Abraham. Jews see Abraham as their grandfather and the first person to introduce them to God.
Surprisingly, it seems that Abraham is the father of everyone.
