Are we supposed to stand by Israel even when she is indulging in genocide?

Are we supposed to join those that say Israel can do NO wrong & that they can get away with ANYTHING?

Are we supposed to clap for the Israeli Minister of Heritage when he says "anyone who carries a Palestinian flag should not be allowed to live?"

Are we meant to celebrate when he says a "nuclear bomb should be dropped on Gaza" or when he says "Gaza's 2.5 million people should be pushed in the desert or sent to 100 different countries as refugees at 25,000 Gazans per country?"

Is this the sort of rhetoric we are expected to espouse, endorse and support?

Is this what criminally insane, genocidal maniacs & complicit religious bigots and messianic zealots like @benshapiro expect us to embrace?

Are we expected to jump with joy when the Israeli Minister of National Security says "even those that are sharing sweets on the streets of Gaza should be targetted and slaughtered as well?"

Are we supposed to express approval when the Minister of Defence of Israel says "what is being done to Gaza may also be done to Beirut?"

Is this wholesale espousal of barbarity, slaughter & savagery to be regarded as the new norm? Is there no more sanity in the world?

Are we supposed to accept it when the Israeli Finance Minister says “there is no such thing as a Palestinian nation, there is no such thing as Palestinian history and there is no such thing as a Palestinian language?"

Are we supposed to express our unending adoration when a Member of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) is questioned about the fact that thousands of innocent Palestinian women and children are being killed by Israeli bombs in Gaza & his response is "there is no such thing as an innocent Palestinian" meaning that every single Palestinian, whether man, woman, child or infant, should be bombed, crushed & wiped off the face of the earth?

Where is this hateful & genocidal rhetoric coming from & why should we shy away from challenging it?

Are we cowards? Should we be filled with fear & trepidation & shy away from speaking the bitter truth about what Zionism has done to the Jewish state?

Does the Bible not tell us that "God has not given us a spirit of fear?"

Today the Zionists that have taken objection to others saying "from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free" & claim such words are nothing but genocidal hate speech & an expression of a sinister desire to wipe the State of Israel off the face of the earth are themselves saying that Gaza & the Palestinian people should be totally eradicated.

They are themselves wiping out Christian & Muslim children in Gaza & judging from what the Israeli Defence Minister is saying it may soon be Beirut as well.

Does this double standard make any sense? Is it just? Is it fair? Does it not make any right thinking person sick?

Is it right or proper for anyone to be talking about wiping out any race in this day & age?

Are Israel & the Zionists above the law & do they have the right to do unto others what they do not want others to do unto them?

Has Israel not taken us down the bloody path of carnage & madness where restraint & the application of even the most basic norms of military engagement, international law & the law of war no longer apply?

Are mass murder, crimes against humanity & war crimes against innocent civilians, including women and children, now acceptable forms of combat?

Are our hearts meant to be gladdened when the PM of Israel says the State of Israel is "waging a war against Amalek".

Is this not the clear expression of a pre-meditated intention to kill every single Palestinian man, woman & child?

To those that doubt it I urge them to read the Bible & find out what was done to the Amalekites.

Should the world allow this to happen in the name of eradicating Hamas & loving Israel?

Is every Palestinian an Amalekite & a member of Hamas?

[Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhari]

A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE

by Muhammadu Buhari

RARELY in modern times can so few have tried to take so much from so many. If Nigeria had lost its arbitration dispute with Process & Industrial Development in a London court on 23 October, it would have cost our people close to USD15 billion.
We won, and all decent people can sleep easier as a result. Justice Robin Knowles said Nigeria had been the victim of a monstrous fraud. But it was a close-run thing. As the judge said: “I end the case acutely conscious of how readily the outcome could have been different, and of the enormous resources ultimately required from Nigeria as the successful party to make good its challenge.”
But ordinary Nigerians never took the decisions that ended up before Justice Knowles. Had Nigeria lost, it would have required schools not to be built, nurses not to be trained and roads not to repaired, on an epic scale, to pay a handful of contractors, lawyers and their allies - for a project that never broke ground.
How did it get to this point? How did Nigeria prevail? Was this a one-off, or par for a shabby and distasteful course? What are the lessons for the future?
The ‘P&ID Affair’ was already firmly set by the time I came into office in 2015. A company registered in the British Virgin Islands that no one had heard of, with hardly any staff or assets, had won a contract to build a gas processing plant in Cross Rivers. The company was owned by Irish intermediaries who knew Nigeria well and had done business in everything from healthcare to fixing tanks.
The previous government could not supply the gas. The plant was never built. Construction was not started. P&ID did not even buy the land for the facility. But the contract, incredibly, was clear: P&ID could sue Nigeria, and claim all the profits it might have made over 20 years as if everything had been completed.
Nigeria was in court in London, trying to talk down liability and costs. Back at home, fixers were looking to work out a quiet settlement. This is often the way. A lot of contracts end up in dispute. P&ID won a settlement in 2017 of USD6 billion, with compound interest. People, including out of work ex-British Cabinet Minister Priti Patel, were queuing up to insist we paid, or risk Nigeria becoming an untrustworthy trade pariah.
It was clear that far from the whole story had been told. I tasked Abba Kyari, my chief- of-staff and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, with finding a way, even at that late stage and despite so much conflicting advice, to get us a fair hearing. Working with a number of different agencies and senior officials of government, we began to find a huge amount of evidence, not all of which Justice Knowles was to accept. But he agreed that P&ID had paid bribes. He agreed that one of P&ID’s founders had committed perjury. And he agreed that P&ID had somehow found in its possession a steady supply of Nigeria’s privileged internal legal documents, outlining our plans, strategies and problems.
My own view is that this whole, sorry affair shows how important it is to follow the legal process in resolving a dispute. It shows that given time and opportunity for each side to present their case, the temple of justice can satisfactorily resolve all disputes without resort to extra-judicial measures. It was definitely worth the struggle: this was an attempted heist of historic proportions, an attempt to steal from the treasury a third of Nigeria’s foreign reserves.
But even at this moment, we should note what the English judge cautioned. The arbitration process in London “was a shell that got nowhere near the truth.” We need better contracts, in the public and private sector. And we need greater transparency: the reality is that, had P&ID not conjured up quite such an outlandish ransom, they may have found themselves in the same place as the myriad other invisible contractors who all too often quietly take Nigeria for many millions in out of court settlements. Sterner sanctions are indicated for Nigerian public officials who have been proven to connive with foreign criminals to defraud our country.
Nigeria has won this battle with corruption, but the war is far from over. As Justice Knowles concluded: “This case has also, sadly, brought together a combination of examples of what some individuals will do for money. Driven by greed and prepared to use corruption; giving no thought to what their enrichment would mean in terms of harm for others. Others that in the present case include the people of Nigeria, already let down in so many ways over the history of this matter by a number of individuals in politics and administration whose duty it was to serve them and protect them.” Well said.
