Who is Ishmael?



West Jerusalem Jews:
-          He is our relative. He is different.
-          An ancestor of the Arabs.
-          A fighter.

East Jerusalem Arabs:
-          He is the father of Arabs – a Prophet.
-         He is the father of Muhammed.
-          He is the inheritant and we are the descendant.

New York City professionals:
-          Moby Dick - Call me Ishmael – an outsider, a stranger.
-         A loner, he is the first cowboy.
-          The guy who walks off into the sunset, all by himself – 
and looking for something, looking for something.
