Abraham had two sons, Isaac (Israel) and Ishmael (Palestine). Both sons were given a promise from their father of a homeland.

This homeland is being ripped apart by nothing short of sibling rivalry.

Isaac carried the direct promise while Ishmael was given a less-direct promise. Call it envy or anything you want, but these two brothers simply have no love lost between each other.

The whole world is part of this age-old struggle, which is nothing short of the destiny of humanity in the balance.

The Middle East is just the tip of the iceberg of humanity at a tipping point of no return. Fate and destiny go hand-in-hand with the human race, just looking for a reason to blow the whole show sky-high.

According to the Book of Life, everything has a beginning and an end. This moment in time is nothing short of a history lesson being acted out on a global stage.

Abraham’s boys will not go quietly into that good night until every one of us chooses sides in a fight which will never end until the bitter end.
