Holy Moses

Three thousand years on, and nothing has changed.  The stories relate how the Ancient Egyptians feared and hated the Habiru, the Hebrews ('wandering ones') united  by a culture and language - but otherwise so similar to themselves that an imposter prince was indistinguishable from one of their own.  The immigration issue was one of the big topics in the tripartite election debate. We still distrust any group of people which we perceive as being different from ourselves.  And now the old tribal allegiances within our land are being re-ignited as the parties squabble over leadership roles.  Why can't the boys share their toys and take a consensus view for a change? Sharing responsibility for necessary but unpopular fiscal measures would have the added advantage that all the parties could blame each other for the nasty medicine. Just like Moses was able to point out that the discomforts of the Exodus were only a temporary side-effect of Yahweh's plan for his chosen people.  What do you think?
