| Isaac had two sons as well: Esau and Jacob. Interesting to me is the unvarnished nature of the personalities in the Biblical text. Abraham was a deceiver as well as a man of faith: Genesis 12:11-20.
Jacob's name even connotes deceiver and he cheated his brother of his blessing and his birthright. But the Esau line would be an inheritor of Abraham and Isaac's blessing, would it not? The Arabs are descended from Ishmael and Esau. But Islam is not equivalent to the Arabs in the same way that Judaism is equivalent to Jews. And Zionism is not the equivalent of true Torah Judaism either.
