New to your blog. Found it interesting. Keep up the good effort.
Just wanna share my thought on your line, i.e "Journey to God".
The way I understand al Qur'an, the term "people of Israel/Bani Israel" does not belong to any particular tribe of people.
Israel can be understood as a compound word from Isra'=Journey and El=etymology means God. Hence Bani Israel denotes people on the journey to God, or literally people on God's path.

You are transient traveller no:
I sincerely believe that those who have a yearning for God will find it in their hearts to discuss with love. Even when we may strongly put across our views, our love for God should make us mindful that we can live together with differing views. If we are at the behest of God's mercy and love, can't we sprinkle some of it between us?

Hope this makes sense.

M5,
Welcome. Hope to get contributions from you too.
Been busy lately and sick..:(
I have always understood the term Bani "Isra -El" to mean exactly what you say and not as the "ethnic" or socio-political construct of today.
