Reader comment on item: Recognizing Israel as the Jewish State: Statements, Actions, Analyses
in response to reader comment: Obama as Israel as Jewish state? Not so fast: He mentioned "sons of Abraham" ,not sons of Jacob

Submitted by sara (United States), Mar 22, 2013 at 16:38

You are right, Shishir. Although on second thought, by accompanying the 'sons of Abraham' with the 'daughters of Sarah' he implies that this does not include the offspring of Hagar...

That said, it is customary to refer to Abraham as the father of all three religions, so he gets away with it.
