The Muslims claim that Arabs are descendents of Ismael. But Mohammed lived almost three thousand years after the time of Abraham and there is no objective way of linking Mohammed’s people with Ismael. IMHO, Mohammed made the claim just in opposition to the Jewish claim to be the true descendents of Mohammed.

Mohamed the gangster plagiarist hoped to win Jewish converts to his new faith, roughly based on animist roots and select Old Testament scripture. Jews were not impressed and he began a fatwa against them that persists to this day.

The Ishmael thing is just a side note. The point is the fact that the Arabs are the terrorist aggressors on the essentially peace-loving nation of Israel who they want to destroy. There’s no “peace” solution here. There’s only pushing back the aggressors in such a way that they are afraid to keep up the aggression.
