However, the Jews who came after them broke away from the divine teachings and some of them worshipped the calf and became disbelievers while others killed prophets, went back on their pledges and acted treacherously. The People of Moses believed in Almighty God as the One and Only Creator and at the time they formed a unified nation. The author chose Quranic verses that praise the Children of Israel to open his book with but the truth is that this praise was not aimed at today’s Jews but the rather the People of Moses within a certain period of history. The book contains numerous historical errors and fallacies. The book opens with the following verse from Surat al Jathiya: “We did aforetime grant to the Children of Israel the Book, the Power of Command, and Prophethood We gave them, for Sustenance, things good and pure and We favoured them above the nations.” Now Israel is taking a new step in this regard, or to be more precise, an unprecedented audacious step (even for Israel!) A book has been published in Israel in Arabic by the Harriet and Robert Heilbrunn Institute for International Interreligious Understanding of the American Jewish Committee entitled: ‘Children of Abraham: An Introduction to Judaism for Muslims,’ by Reuven Firestone. Of course this idea is met with the biggest rejection from the Arab and Islamic World.
For decades, Israel has been trying (by all means possible) to consolidate the idea that it has a divine right to the land of Palestine, however to no avail.
The international community acknowledged the danger of it and considered it a disease that must be fought against just like Nazism, Apartheid etc. Zionism, as a doctrine based on religious myths, is controversial and extremely racist.
