Ladies and gentlemen, today’s blunt speech to the United Nations by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
I have no illusion that it made or will make a difference.
May God keep the Jews, Abraham’s children of the promise.
And may He also bless the Arabs, Abraham’s children of the flesh.*
May He bless us all, Jew and Gentile alike.
Personally.
Undeserving though we all are.
And may we each find peace and hope in that son of Abraham, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
* “Arabs are Abraham’s children of the flesh” — is that a true statement?
