This land (ISRAEL) was not given to the descendants of Ishmael (one ancestor of the Arab
peoples), but rather to the descendants of Isaac.

Be faithful to what
the Bible teaches.
In Genesis 17:18, Abraham said to
God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee." But God's answer was, and is,
very clear. In Genesis 17:19, God answered Abraham, "No, but Sarah your wife
shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My
covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after
him."
God promised to bless Ishmael and to make him a great
nation: "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will
make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father
of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation" (Genesis 17:20).
However, the bloodline of the covenant promise concerning the Land would go
through Isaac, not Ishmael: "...In Isaac your descendants shall be called"
(Hebrews 11:18).
12 Keys To Understanding Israel In The Bible
After 8-day conflict that saw hundreds of rockets fired into Israel, Hamas leader claims his group does not target civilians (my 2 cents...LIAR)
Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on Thursday denied that his group was behind Wednesday’s bombing attack on a Tel Aviv bus that injured 21 Israelis. In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Mashaal also called on the international community to force Israel to accept Palestinians’ national aspirations; otherwise, he warned, Hamas had no alternative but to “resort to resistance.”
He said the Palestinians had been “offering peace,” but also asked, “How can I accept Israel? They have occupied my land.”
