One would wonder why the pathological hatred and belligerence on the Jews (Israel) and Igbos (Biafrans) from their traducers and workers of iniquity, those of them who hated or hate us just because of the blessings and light of God in us and until you understand the context of this piece - "Isaac Blessings and Ishmael's Hatred";
1. You will continue to be in confusion and total dismay to join hands with Ipob in liberating the shackles holding your blessing and light down,
2. You will never understanding why people who are blessed by God suffers denigration and belligerence,
3. You will never know why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have so many people envious and jealous of him,
4. You will never understand why the enmity between the Arab/Israel and Fulani/Biafrans and many more.
Who were Isaac and Ishmael and What transpired between them? Every story here is verifiable from the scripture and Wikipedia
They were the two sons of Abraham, the man with God's Blessing as the Father of all nations. Ishmael was born to Abraham by act of surrogacy, his mother was Hagar (Sarah's Egyptian maid) while Isaac was the second and legitimate son of Abraham, his mother was Sarah (Abraham's wife).
Isaac was very obedient to his father, Abraham and highly talented, Ishmael was just the opposite. He would always cajole, ridicule and mock Isaac for his pious lifestyle, it got to the point that he started maltreating and beating him. This provoked Sarah that her husband, Abraham sent Ishmael and his mother Hagar into desert leaving him with no blessing.

Before Abraham's death, he showered ALL his blessings on Isaac and Ishmael became more furious, ranged and thence sprung forth the hatred which still linger amongst the descendants of Ishmael ( Arabians) and Isaac son (Jacob who later became Israel after wrestling with the angel).
The Descendants of Ishmael still claim that Isaac and Jacob's blessings should have been that of Ishmael and Esau respectively. Esau who was Isaac first son also have the traits of his uncle- Ishmael and couldn't get his father's blessings.
You can see that it pays to be obedient and pure in heart, only such people can possess the blessings of God.
Did it just end there?.......
No it didn't end there, the children of Israel (Jacob) failed to understand God's purpose for each of them and the same hatred of Ishmael possessed some of them which led to the selling of Joseph but God's promise and Abraham blessings was with Isaac descendants.
After their Exodus from Egypt into the promised land, Canaan something happened, something very very sad happened that the kingdom of Israel divided into two......
