correction “fought”
i know what your answers are going to be ,you are going to say all arabs are bad and wild due to their terrorism, but even with the terrorism the arabs can never compare with the body count reached by america and europe(ww1,ww2,korean war,vietnam war, economic sanctions on iraq,iraq war, congo war,extermination of natives of south america and north america)
so i repeat how can hashem call ishmael a wild donkey of a man when he himself showed him favour and brought him back to abraham and his brother jacob never foguht against ishmael?????
it seems like the torah was chnaged to criticise ishmael
i have a question to ask, its sort of a religious question and i know this isnt a religious blog but i have tried chabad.org and ask moses and non have them answered my question.
ok here goes
the torah says ishmael is a wild “donkey” of a man and his hand was against everyone,
so my question is, how can ishmael be wild if he was half hebrew and half egyptian?????
the ancient egyptians at that time had the worlds greatest cities and monuments, they were the best engineers and builders during that time in the middle east
and ishmael inherited the best of both worlds, his father was abraham the great prophet(pbuh) and his mother was a decent egyptian woman, considering the fact that abraham later brought her back after sarah died
also why do all israeli rabbis use the torah passage to call all arabs wild??
even though the egyptians are not the ancestors of the arab nation
where did i find out the fact that rabbis call arabs as wild as ishmael, from all the jewish websites, and those websites were liberal ones
man my question is a long winded one isnt it
I hope Tasha and Dishka enter! 🙂
