Can anyone tell me like I’m a 5th grader, what is the background between Israel and Palestine?

God vs allah

But after ww2 when the UN carved out part of the middle east for Israel the Palestinians felt that the land was theirs.
Jordan offered part of their land to make a new palestine but that was not good enough.
Palestine has turned down at least 4 times becoming either part of the state or having their own state. They simply was the Jews destroyed

True, but I want to go even further. Doesn’t Palestine come from the ancient Hebrew enemy, the Philistines?

Isaac and Ishmael

Jacob and Essau.

The eternal hatred for Israel and all her descendants.
Can you elaborate? Essau was Jacob’s brother but why was he an enemy of Israel? Also Ishmael is considered the father of Islam correct? How did that transpire? And what is his relationship to Essau again? I just took an Old Testament class so I should know this, but it’s all boggled up in my mind brain, I can’t remember.

And who is that referring to? I think we know but what is the context of that verse?


In the previous verse, the angel of the Lord--perhaps Christ Himself, given the phrasing used (Genesis 16:10; Genesis 16:13)—began a prophecy or "birth oracle" about the baby Hagar is carrying. It is a boy and she is to call him Ishmael, a name referring to this moment when God has heard and helped her.

The rest of the oracle is less favorable. Even though Ishamel will be the first son born to Abram, he is not the promised child which God has guaranteed. This was not the way God intended to fulfill His vows to Abram. And so, this firstborn boy of Abram will become a wild donkey of a man. He won't be a people person. His hand will be against everyone and everyone will be against him. He will live in hostility to his kinsmen.

Eventually, we will learn that Ishmael's descendants become the Arabic people. These cultures have been at odds with the Jewish people for millennia. The descendants of Ishamael soon take on a bedouin lifestyle, on the fringes of society, committed to their personal freedom above the need to be accepted by others.

Jacob have I loved Essau have I hated. Essau gave up his inheritance to Jacob for some stew (I think it was stew or soup). Essau married the daughter is Ishmael. God said that Essau’s descendants would have an eternal hatred for Israel. I’d pull some links but don’t have the time at the moment.

Oh, the reason for the hate of Israel is because Jacob was renamed Israel by God. Jacob was a bit of a shiester and tricked Essau IIRC. Hence the eternal hatred for all of Jacobs descendants.
