Or: Why can’t Abraham’s kids get along?
(hint: because some of them still believe they’ve been chosen by God.
In reality that status was lost long ago.
God Willing you’ll understand that’s the truth.)
This is a story about a man named Abe, and the kids he proceeded to have. It’s the root of the problem in the middle east, and i’m here to explain it simply.
Abe was a man who lived at home, but he wanted to impress the old lady. He packed up his bags, with a whole entourage and said goodbye to his old man.
When Abe and the gang found a promising spot they declared the land all their own. Unfortunately there were others who lived there that moment, and they said, “No Way, old man!”
Abe said, “YHWY,” and his gang proceeded to take over that land. That’s just the way it goes when you’ve got that YHWY attitude, and a gang to back you up until the end.
But Abe had no kids to leave this land to when he died, and the old lady wanted some kids also. They’d been trying for quite some time, but nothing developed in Sarah. Abe decided to screw the help, but Sarah said it was okay. Ishmael was delivered, lickity split. The 1st born of this guy named Abe. In time Sarah began to resent the little runt and demanded 1 that was her own.
Abe put that YHWY attitude to the test, and screwed the old lady until she became pregnant. It was a miracle considering their age. So now we got this 2nd kid who they chose to name Isaac.
Eventually Sarah dies, and Abe marries another. Abe fathers a few more kids, but for some reason Isaac got all the attention. This is where all our trouble began. Can you guess why it’s happened?
One branch of the family claims the land is all theirs, while the rest has been given nothing at all. Do all of you believe that’s fair?
Isaac and his clan end up leaving the land, while the others managed to stay put. Isaac’s clan ends up returning again, but the Greeks show up, and then the Romans – that’s when their Messiah arrived. As far as I’m concerned anyway.
This guy tried to explain to them all, that we’re all in this together.
Unfortunately, Isaac’s clan requires a blood relative and at the time there wasn’t any genetic testing. The powers that be didn’t buy what this guy was selling, and somebody gets put to the cross.
It couldn’t have been the man they call Jesus because he shows up 3 days later. The man was a mastermind for his place in space & time and decided to get lost after leaving a final message. Wouldn’t you do the same thing also?
Anyway, a few years later Isaac’s clan is once again shipped off to places unknown, but most of it was in the Roman Empire. While all this crap is going on, Abe’s other kids and their kin have remained peacefully in Palestine.
The Romans become the Christians, subjugating peoples of the world and stealing their natural resources. While Isaac’s clan remains in their midst, being mistreated along the way. Even with all this mistreatment going on, they manage to screw the locals – They are no longer genetically pure themselves!
The white folk start formulating ‘final solutions’ for the descendants of that Isaac kid. The British, who rule the world at that moment, devised a plan to ship them to Palestine. A few years later another guy decides to exterminate them once and for all.
After a bloody war that involved all of humanity, and saw the development of the nuclear bomb, people started to see the mistakes that they’ve made, but they made one more silly mistake:
The victors felt guilty about all that they’ve done. They got rid of their ill-gotten gains, but the next thing they did was to give the Holy Land to people who didn’t actually earn it!!! Subjugating the residents who have been there all along. The other descendants of Abe, and the women he managed to get pregnant.
What needs to be done, is to correct the mistake, and give the land to those willing to share it!!!!!
