When you look for a solution to a problem, it’s always good to look at the causes of the problem. The reason for the Arab-Israel problem is simple: the Arabs hate the Jews and want to destroy Israel. Nothing new. It started with Ishmael hating and persecuting Isaac thousands of years ago. Israel is right where she belongs and the Arabs are the instigators of terrorism against Israel and everybody else.

The Arabs would rather die than see Israel established because behind all of this, as always, is a spiritual issue: in this case it is the devil who has always hated God’s people and wants to wipe them out. The solution is to show the Arabs strong and determined resistance. It has been shown that when these terrorists are met with determined, deadly force they go back to hide in their caves for fear.

I think it has nothing to do with Ismael and everything to do with the Jews’ refusal to accept Mohammed as a prophet of God.
