In a Christmas message delivered on Wednesday, December 24, Netanyahu said attacks against Christians or adherents of any faith were unacceptable, singling out militant violence in Nigeria as an urgent concern.
His remarks come amid long-standing reports by religious and human rights groups of deadly attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt and northern regions.
“The persecution of Christians or members of any religion cannot and must not be tolerated,” Netanyahu said, adding that attacks against Christians in Nigeria “must end, and it must end now.”
The Israeli leader used the address to position Israel as a safe haven for religious minorities, describing it as the only country in the Middle East where Christians can practise their faith freely and openly.
According to Netanyahu, Israel’s Christian population has continued to grow, in contrast with neighbouring countries where Christian communities have steadily declined.
“Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian community is thriving,” he said, noting that Christian pilgrims are welcomed and religious traditions are publicly celebrated without fear.

What a Christmas to remember. God is dependable 💃💃💃💃
ReplyDeleteSurprise Christmas gifts to the Christian faith. We couldn't have asked for more. All those who're not happy about it should go and have a hug with Gumi.

Oh Zaram dear 🤗
DeleteThis is one of my best Christmas 😍 God is fighting big for His children 🛡️🗡️
When I saw the Israeli Prime minister made those utterances, I knew something was about to give way. Benjamin Netanyahu isn't a man of two many words but actions. In doubt, ask the Palestinians people, the Hamas etc.
ReplyDeleteI told someone on Wednesday just watch there will be a strike and it came to pass. When Israel threaten, know that they have already carried out the threat or at the verge of doing so. Israeli Prime minister warning ushered an America launching of missiles on terrorist.
The war has just begun. The Islamic terrorist will pay dearly for their crimes.

Israel doesn't have long range fighter jets and neither does it have aerial refuelling tankers. They may resort to using precision guided missiles.
DeleteIf Israel does attack Nigeria though, it will lead to the northern hotheads working themselves up into an indignant lather. But anybody wey show face go collect.
Stay there and be myopic. Don't go and do research to see the bigger picture of the deep state is doing. Maybe first you should find out what is left of the population of Christians in Israel and also check out if the Christians in Israel are truly leaving in piece. Carry out your research on who kpaid JFK and for what reason. When the us and Israel( which controls us) have their eyes somewhere, know they need something. Israel infiltrates nations to achieve agenda. Do your research on 9.11 and know who orchestrated it and all the unrest in middle east. Even the last bombing in Australia. While people are ignorant, im glad the American citizens are waking up especially younger generations to how they have been played and manipulated by their govts, who are puppets to Israel that controls them especially with black mail. Remember epstein the Israeli blackmailer didn't kpai himself.
DeleteIt is quite unfortunate the killings happening in Nigeria, having the masterminds from all angles behind the scenes.
I suppose you want Venezuelan criminals deported to your country or military base in your country etc subsections. Basically you want your country to ask "how high"? When the US says " jump" right?
So Anon what's your point in all this you have penned down? I see you're not happy about this terrorist airstrike. Are you a sympathizers? Don't tell me this Sheik Gumi😂😂😂
Delete© TEEJAY
Sheik Gumi ko terrorist sympathiser ni. Bulshit! So anyone that doesn't praise your childish almighty Trump or America the puppet to Israel automatically becomes a terrorist righ? Myopic indeed. If you can't get anything out of what I wrote above, I wouldn't waste anymore time making you see reasons. Keep thinking every Nigerian muslim is a terrorist, terrorist sympathiser or sheik Gumi when opinions don't align with your okay? Keep thinking every Nigerian muslim is in support of the killings going on in Nigeria okay? While you are crying out laughter. Such an immature fellow beclouded with bigotry and tribalism.
DeleteYou are not worth replying. You are a very mediocre person. Obviously not well read or educated. Just a very basic guy. Try to do basic research and it may just help advance your meagre intellect.
Delete....AND Trump's guns came BLAZING
ReplyDeleteNumerous terrorist targets hit in North-West Nigeria.
Multiple terrorists sent to their imaginary Jannah
FFK, Reno, BATists and legions of terrorist sympathizers have all descended into agony following Trump's Christmas gift to Nigeria. Sowore is NOT happy, understandable to us that know.
What many people don't know is that this strike is deeply symbolic.
The attack came on Christmas day, the most celebrated Christian festival in the world.
The first bomb/bullet dropped in Sokoto, the Head of the Islamic Caliphate in Nigeria.
In the most secretive of different orders, everything is symbolism with meaning which ordinary men can't see or understand FULLY.
In Islamic Caliphate symbolism, the Sultan demanded Nnamdi Kanu to be brought to Sokoto Caliphate as an "Igbo head on a pike" ( example only for analytical purpose)
In the same vein, the Department of War chose the religious head of Nigeria's Islam for it's first ever official attack on Nigerian soil.
Many don't know these things and that's where Muna comes in. Something is going on.
This is just NOT a strike, it is a clear message that Nigeria will NOT become Islamic State of Nigeria.
You see, the North East is the most dangerous region in Nigeria. Analyst thought the 1st strike will be in NE but NOT all analysts are Initiates. The NE will still receive its present. Symbolism 1st.
Sokoto is NOT coincidence. Sokoto is delibrate.
Tinubu is in much bigger trouble than him or his cheerers realize. The Caliphate would be angry. They are second guessing his loyalty. Has he switched sides they may ask. Tinubu must boost up his security going forward because more and more his allegiance will become a hot topic amongst the kingdoms of darkness.
No Nigerian President has ever been such an international disgrace as Tinubu. BATists cheer him to doom. Besides France, no serious country takes the current Nigeria serious.
The APC is only interested in turning Nigeria into a one party state. A one party of do nothing". A party that has successfully put us in the same level like Somalia. A country where 25yr old U.S boys will be dropping bombs from time to time as they do in Yemen and Somalia.
No thanks to a party that has pampered terrorists since 2015. No thanks to a party that watched indigenous ethnic communities wiped out by Fulani Radical Islamic Terrorists. No thanks to a country that can conduct airstrikes in Benin Republic but can't drop bombs on hundreds of detty motorcycle riding, AK 47 wielding terrorists in broad daylight.
No thanks
God bless MNK
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas we didn't hear of evil of killing Christians on Christmas day. Thank God for Donald Trump, Netanyahu & other countries who intervened on Nigeria security situation. God will raise another Elijah & Moses for us.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time ⏳
Thank you Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The cry of your children has reached your throne of grace. That is why these world leaders are speaking up against Christian genocide in Nigeria.
ReplyDeletePlease use them mightily to end this massacre in the country. And may your name alone be glorified
Amen in Jesus name.
DeleteNigerians and mediocrity. A war criminal killing Christians in Palestine is being by Christians here. You must be very shallow and stupid if you think Netanyahu cares about you or Christians. This is a big distraction from the fact he is still killing Christians and muslims in Palestine. Historically, white people have always divided societies along the lines of religion or skin colour and the same play book is being sued over and over but shallow Nigerians can’t see beyond their noses and they think “Netanyahu” of all people cares. Stella, I am disappointed in you as a well educated and seasoned journalist you claim to be.
