The root cause of the Arab-Jewish hatred goes back to the time of Abraham, when he had a son by the Egyptian girl, Hagar. God promised a son to Abraham and Sarah, and Abraham thought that since Sarah was barren that Hagar might do.
Ishamael was not what God had in mind when he promised a son to Abraham and Sarah, and the children of Ishamael have been sick with jealousy and hatred ever since. They have been taught a hatred that consumes them. This is the root problem of this war in the Middle East.
Either you do remember and you agree with it...
...or you don't remember.
Either way, it's definitely illuminating your mindset quite well.
[aside] I wonder if you find Pat Buchanan to be a good conservative?
