Bnei Israel is locked in a battle with Bnei Ishmael. What we have in common is we both have a form of BRIT -circumcision (Brit really means convenant, slightly stronger than a promise. The covenant in question was God telling Abraham to circumcise himself and his people. Thus Ishmael, who was 13 at the time got circumcised and from thus it is said that Ishmaelim /Arabs circumcise their sons at 13. Isaac got circumcised when he was 8 days old, so the Jewish tradition continues.)
This whole struggle was handed over to us by the BRITish.
And USA which is know in Hebrew as Artzot haBRIT is giving both sides money and ammo so that we can come to a supposed peace agreement.

There is a group called the British Israel movement, who claim to be descendants of the Biblical Israelites. (Unlike the Christian Identity people, they accept that Jews are also descendants--through the Judah line.) One of their "proofs" is that the word "British" forms the Hebrew words brit ish, or "covenant of man."
Rabbi Ken Spiro of Aish HaTorah (who was one of our guides on my Birthright trip in 2004) says he once wrote to the group and pointed out that the word "Britain" forms the Hebrew brit ain, or "no covenant." He didn't receive a reply back.
In case you're wondering, I am not making any of this up.
Kylopod,
That is so hilarious! Life can be fun and funny at times.
