This is not his only burden. However the self serving comic book Christian Zionist version of the Bible is easily contradicted by the Bible itself.At the risk of sending the readers to sleep, let me remind Pearson that Abraham, the Biblical father of the Semitic Jews and the Semitic Arabs was a native of Ur of the Chaldies which was located several miles up-river from the mouth of the Euphrates in present day Iraq.According to Genisis 12:1,yawn, the Lord appeared to Abraham and told him to "Get the out of the country".He migrated to Palestine, at the age of seventy five via Damascus where he found famine and moved on to Egypt.After a considerable sojurn in Egypt, the ejected 'Israelites', all born in Egypt, followed Moses on a fourty year nomadic trek to Palestine or Canaan which they conquered by the sword.I wonder if this sounds familiar to Pearson? Could these 'Israelites' of the Bible be regarded as the Economic Migrants from Hell today? Ask a Palestinian or tell Pearson he is dreaming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
