Jews and Muslims

            There is no way around it the Jews and the Arabs have been at war for centuries over land. The question at hand is whose land is it? Many people can only speculate a lot of different things, but the real reason dates back to the time of Yitz"chak and Yishma"el. When God promised Avraham the land, which is known as Yisrael. Stating a great nation would arise from his seed that this nation would have a homeland and the entire world would be blessed by this nation. (Hopfe Woodward). B"resheet 15:18 Adonai made a covenant with Avram: I have given this land to your descendants - from the Vadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates river. Knowing this Avram became impatient when he found that Sarai could not bear him a child. Avram and Sarai decided to take matters into their own hands; and, interpret what Adonai has told them. In doing this Sarai told Avram to take her servant Hagar for she is fertile and will bear him a child. Hagar did conceive and bore Avram a son who was named Yishma"el. Avram and Sarai's interpretation of what Adonai had intended was incorrect. In Sarah's old age she bore Avraham a son who was named Yitz"chak. B"resheet 17:19 I will establish my covenant with him as a everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. B"resheet 17:20 As for Yishma"el I have heard you. I have blessed him I will make him fruitful and give him many descendants. B"resheet 17:21 I will establish my covenant with Yitz"chak. From Yitz"chak came the Jewish people; and, from Yishma"el came the Islamic Nation. Avraham is father to both nations. This is where the controversy begins. .
             Kaplan 2.
             Adonai himself didn't even recognize Yishma"el as being son to Avraham, this is proven in B"resheet 22:2 Adonai says to Avraham "take your son, your only son, whom you love, Yitz"chak; and go to the land of Moriyah. Another issue is the remains of Shlomos Temple. Back in December of 1999 bulldozers where rented by Israeli Arabs active in the Islamic movement, which were used for moving tons of dirt obstructing the ancient entrance to Shlomos Stables.
