Can somebody please remind the world that Isaac and Ishmael are both sons of Abraham? Muslims are the sons of Ishmael, the elder. Jews are the sons of Isaac, the younger. Jews and Muslims are one family, brothers. In both religions, the story of Abraham is very clear. He is the Lord and father to both, Muslims and the Jews. And in both religion, shedding of a brother's blood is a sin. In Hebrew it is the story of Qayin and Havel, in Arabic Qabil and Habil, in plain old English Cain and Abel.

The consequences of killing a brother are dissatisfaction, anger, and expulsion. Please reread the text, listen again to the verses. The Lord wants his family to share in his Garden. There is room enough to share.

I agree that Israel has a right to defend itself, but killing innocent civilians and destroying a country's entire infrastructure won't help the situation. It will only make it worse.

If we can do anything to increase the peace in the world, then it's our moral obligation to at least try to do so.

Please, somebody, stop this madness.
