As serious and global debates on the claim of genocide against Nigerian Christians, continue the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will no longer tolerate such acts against Christian faithful in Nigeria.
Netanyahu in his Christmas message made it clear that Muslim militant displacement and attacks against Christians in Nigeria must end now.
The message reads: “From Jerusalem, I send warm greetings to our Christian friends around the world. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From here, the Holy Land, Israel, is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian community is thriving.
“Israel is the only country in the Middle East where Christians can practise their faith with full rights and in total freedom, where Christian pilgrims are embraced with open arms and are so deeply appreciated, where Christians can proudly celebrate their traditions and openly do so without any fear.
“The persecution of Christians or members of any religion cannot and must not be tolerated. And Muslim militant displacement and attacks against Christians in Nigeria, that too must end. And it must end now”.
Recall, some lawmakers in the United States backed by President Donald Trump claimed that Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria for merely believing in Jesus Christ, resulting designating Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns, CPC, with a threat of military invasion to end the alleged Christian massacre.
