The irony is overwhelming, because I don't think it was written directly in response to these events, but I think it fits perfectly. How Abraham was prepared to offer his son Yitzhak on the altar to G-d and how many said this week that Yitzhak was offered in Israel, on the altar of peace. By the way, President Clinto referred to it in his eulogy. This Devar Torah suggests another interpretation. To disagree is to give up security for insecurity.
Security comes with familiarity from past experience.
He had his first test with Ishmael. Abraham was sorry about Ishmael. Abraham didn't protest, he did it. He's secure that what he does is right, even though it pains him. So he surprises him and gives him another even harsher test.
