Well gee, Balaam was out for profit,Many people in the religious entertainment industry, as well as religion in general some argue, are out for profit. The key issue of Balaam's doctrine is not the profit, but the Antisemitism. I thought you knew that.

Balaam is about Antisemitism?
Wait a minute this is before the civil war that broke up the houses.
Balaam, so written after the Greek. In Hebrew his name is Bil'am. He was a spiritist or medium. He is identified by Sayce with Bela, Genesis 36:31,32 where Moses incorporates a list of Edomite kings. According to the Tel-el-Amarna tablets he was a Hittite chieftain, who established a kingdom for himself: and he died fighting agains Israel by the side of his Midianite allies.
You are not going to claim that both Houses of Isreal, those of the Northern Kingdom, Christ called them "lost sheep" and the Southern Kingdom have been rejoined now are you? As it is written that will not happen until the second advent of Christ.
This being the case the using Balaam will not fit what you claim.

By the way, since we are doing a little history, whatever happened to Esau? Who are his modern day children?
