I may be wrong (getting senile), but believe that the Edomites were quick to convert when conquered, faith being less important to them than life! Many Edomites were chased out of Edom, and forcibly converted to Judaism by the Maccabees. Some claim the Edomites became the Palestinians? It would be fitting if the Ashkenazi Jews from Europe and the Palestinians were all descended from the same families, fighting an intense family squabble.

I don't understand why the US has to fund this?
