Fadel Al-Rubaie's "Imagined Israel" offers a profound and courageous re-evaluation of the official history of the ancient Kingdom of Israel. This scholarly work delves into deeply entrenched historical narratives, meticulously dissecting them to reveal potential inaccuracies and biases. Al-Rubaie presents a groundbreaking contribution towards correcting long-held historical beliefs, particularly by introducing and exploring the pivotal roles of Ishmael and Hagar. He argues for their connection to a 'rejected tribe,' suggesting that their historical significance has been deliberately marginalized or ignored. The book challenges readers to reconsider traditional understandings of identity, lineage, and the very foundations of ancient history, prompting a critical and illuminating dialogue about untold stories and forgotten origins.
