Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has urged the Nigerian Government to unequivocally denounce the assault on Israel perpetrated by the Palestinian extremist organization, Hamas.
Fani-Kayode, in a post shared via his X profile on Sunday, implored the government led by Bola Tinubu to abandon any neutrality and openly condemn the violence, which has resulted in the deaths of men, women, and children in Israel.
He asserted that Hamas surpasses ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and the Taliban in brutality, describing them as heartless and savage. Fani-Kayode stressed that Hamas has no affiliation with freedom-fighting, self-determination, Islam, or Palestinian rights.
In his words, he stated, “Can you imagine over 1000 Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists breaching our borders, swarming into our territory like ravenous and deadly rodents and cockroaches in a single morning, killing over 400 innocent Nigerian citizens, and injuring, maiming, and abducting thousands more from their homes and streets?
“Can you picture them launching over 4000 lethal rockets into our country, annihilating a significant portion of the infrastructure in our border towns within a span of 12 hours? That is what occurred in Israel recently.
“Hamas is more malevolent than the combined forces of ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and the Taliban.
“They are nothing but ruthless beasts and heartless savages. It is high time our government took a firm stand and condemned this grave injustice inflicted upon Israel. No more sitting on the fence.
“When Boko Haram or ISWAP carry out attacks in our nation, the State of Israel consistently condemns it, expresses its concern, and stands in solidarity with us. It is now our turn to reciprocate.
“Hamas has no genuine connection to the pursuit of freedom, self-determination, Islam, or Palestinian rights.
“They have no interest in any of these causes, which is why a significant portion of the Arab world, including Palestinians from the West Bank, disapprove of and reject them.
“They are simply cold-blooded murderers, genocidal fanatics, ethnic cleansers, and mass killers. Their ultimate goal, with the tacit backing of Shia Iran, is the annihilation of the State of Israel from the face of the earth.
“As long as Jesus reigns, this will NEVER come to pass.
“I appeal to the Israeli Defence Force and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s government to crush Hamas utterly, eliminate its members, decimate Gaza from the skies, and send in ground troops to forcefully take control of the entire Gaza Strip.
“The entire civilized world stands with Israel. Those who do not and those who remain indecisive are endorsing and encouraging the gravest form of evil.”
