When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubayda recently declared that Palestinians are the legitimate heirs of the biblical prophets, it was no slip of the tongue but the next act in the ideological war over the heritage of Canaan. What was meant as an inheritance for the descendants of Isaac—Israel—is being reforged into a political spear that strikes truth in the heart.
