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.
Today, as in days of old, the Arabs are the aggressors, the terrorists against not just Israel but the whole world, and the ones that want to see Israel and the Jews wiped of the map. Crazily, the world ignores this terrorist threat and sides with these crazies against Gods people, Israel.
The world, as it always has, turns on Israel. But Israel has a Friend. Someday soon they will understand that.
Should we accept Joseph Smith as a prophet of God? How about Benny Hinn?
