Ishmael’s Identity Theft

Did you see during Christmas week in New York City the Times Square electronic billboard proclaiming. “Jesus is Palestinian”?

I thoroughly enjoyed it as a splendid example of the ancient Jewish religion as inhumanly prescient, and here is why:

Thousands of years ago, in 1711 BCE, when Ishmael, at age 16 was expelled from the Land of Canaan by Father Avraham, he did not return with his mother to her native Egypt, the most advanced of societies, but went to live in the antithesis of civilization, a desert, taking with him a bow and arrow, good for killing for food but also other people. (Genesis 21:20)

The greatest Biblical exegete Rashi in 11th century France taught that Ishmael became an armed robber; and indeed, in historical fact, his spawn, the Arabs, were, for thousands of years thereafter, into the 20th century, just that: highwaymen who pounced upon people in transit at their most vulnerable and did whatever they wanted to them.

Even earlier than Rashi, an ancient Midrash also teaches that when G-d offered the first Five Books of the Bible to the sons of Ishmael, they rejected them because the Torah says, “Don’t steal,” and armed robbery was their way of life; it is who they are.

And now today, 3,726 years after Ishmael’s expulsion, we have this electronic billboard purchased by the ADC/American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, which is continuing evidence of their timeless larceny, in this case, their chronic pilfering of the identity of the Jews.

If the name “Anti-Discrimination Committee” sounds familiar, that is because the Arabs remain copycats, their ADC shamelessly imitating the Jews’ creation of the ADL/Anti-Defamation League. Islam has not one original religious idea in it. It is nothing but Judaism purloined and perverted.

While Judaism recognizes there is wisdom in other religions – if not divine Torah — Islam disrespects all religions, even trashing the Jewish religion in particular as false. Muslims say Islam is the “correct” religion of Ibrahim. They say the Jews’ Torah lies when it reports that Eeshkhok/Isaac was bound for a sacrifice. Muslims say no, it was Isma’il/Ishmael. (These traditionally illiterate Arabs cannot even pronounce the Hebrew names properly but believe they know better than the Jews the authentic religion of Ibrahim.)

And they also say the Jews lie a second time by claiming the binding took place in Jerusalem, when Muslims know it was in Mecca. In fact, one of Islam’s few commandments is the obligation of every Believer at least once in a lifetime to make the pilgrimage to that city to circumnavigate seven times the Kaaba, a mysterious, gigantic cube structure draped in black velvet in the middle of the open-air Grand Mosque. That is where the binding of Isma’il took place.

This episode is that important to Islam, with the pilgrimage bearing witness as well to the Muslim belief the Jews are liars who stole the story from Islam and re-wrote it.

Their re-writing of the Binding of Isaac and numerous other episodes in the Torah is nothing but plagiarism. If it were possible for the Jewish nation to haul Muslims into court and sue them for intellectual property theft, they would make a lot of money.

In the 1990s, the neologism “Islamophobia” popped up, more literary larceny, a knock-off of “Antisemitism” that the Muslims envy. Everything the Jews have they envy, and that goes no less for the status of victims entitled to compensation for the “injustice” done to them. What Israel’s enemies have done is spin a tale in which the Jews were “allegedly” abused by the Nazis, which earned them a state in Palestine, and so the “Palestinians,” abused by Jews acting like Nazis, deserve a state in Palestine too, ergo, the Two-State Solution.

The terrorist murderer and president of Yossi Beilin’s Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas denies the Holocaust. He and many of his retarded Muslim brethren believe the Jews invented this fairy tale to guilt-monger the world, the UN in 1947, into sanctioning the creation of a state for the Jews.

Today these intellectual Neanderthals claim they are the “indigenous” nation,” and never mind the thousand years of Jewish history found in the pages of the Jews’ Bible with no mention of any “Palestinians” amid the scores of nations the Jews fought against in their Promised Land: Canaanites, Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians — but never any “Palestinians.”

In 20th century America, American Jews created their Anti-Defamation League, so today’s American-Arabs must have their Anti-Discrimination Committee. The sons of Ishmael salivate for everything the Jews have and they don’t.

Above all, in the year 638, they stole the Jews’ holiest site, over which they built the golden Dome of the Rock, basically a war memorial celebrating their conquest of Al-Yahud. They stole the Jews’ religion and dispossessed them of their identity as Allah’s Chosen People.

I think it was that scorpion in human form of an Egyptian Muslim Brother assassin Yasir Arafat who rebranded Jesus a “Palestinian” and called him the first “Palestinian” victim of the Zionists.

This is against whom Israel fights for its life, and this is why there is no peace.

 “Palestinian Nationalism” was sucked out of an oriental waterpipe packed with killer hash. Israel’s enemy is not fake “Palestinians” but Islam. The Muslims themselves insist theirs is a jihad, a religious war, and it is time Israel accepted that truth.
