Obama as Israel as Jewish state? Not so fast: He mentioned "sons of Abraham" ,not sons of Jacob

The sons of Abraham are Ishmael (father of Arabs) and Isaac (father of Israel/jacob)

Therefore the implicit point is that Israel should accommodate the non Jewish character of descendants of Abraham, thereby negating its exclusively Jewish identity.
