Peace Protocol The Seed Of Abraham
Artist

Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
The descendants of Abraham (Ibrahim) have been at odds since Ishmael and Isaac were born; Ishmael born to Hagar, the Egyptian woman and Isaac born to Sarah, Abraham's wife. Israel and the Arab nations today sybolize the perpetuation of this conflict. Unfortunately, the peacemakers have often suffered a violent end. The two most recent victims have been Anwar Sadat and Yitsak Rabin. At this table they are about to sign a peace treaty and just like at Emmaus, they are scarcely aware of the presence of the special guest who appears among them. Christ who is also a descendent of Abraham (Ibrahim) settles at the table of peace. They are being served by Sarah and Hagar . A careful scutiny of the face of Christ reveals the destruction that has been wrought as a result of the age old conflict between the descendants of the two half brothers, Isaac and Ishmael. There are numerous symbols of Christ's sacrifice imploring his relatives to seek peace for which these two, Rabin and Sadat, have also suffered the pain of a violent death. The floor of the room is soaked with the blood from that never ending conflict.
