1. You are not at all paying any attention.

Israel was a separate nation from the nation of Judah beginning about 3000 years ago - 940BC, after the death of Solomon. Israel, formerly one nation became two different nations. The country of Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians in 720 BC. However, the Assyrians could not destroy the nation of Judah. In 587 BC, Babylon took Judah captive and the country of Judah remained under captivity until when it was finally laid to waste in 70 AD.

2. The Nation that belonged to the Jewish tribes of Israel was known as Judah. It existed from the time the Jewish tribes left the original Nation of Israel in about 940BC until about 70 AD when it was destroyed by the Romans.

The modem state of Israel is a nation established by people who claim to have been descended from the people who formerly inhabited the Nation of Judah.

3. Dispersal of a people --- original Israel and then the Jewish people--- after the destruction of their Nations ofcourse does not mean the people were all destroyed. If you read the Old Law of Moses, beginning in Deuteronomy 28 vs 15, all through to Deuteronomy 30 vs 6, you will find that the God of Israel Himself promised that they would all be eventually scattered to the four corners of the earth as punishment for their disobedience of His Law.

Israel was destroyed around 720 BC by the Assyrians. It ceased to exist as a nation and its inhabitants fled to different continents back then. Judea, Israel's sister Nation, inhabited by the Jewish tribes of Jacob, is the Nation that got erased around 70Bc with Jews fleeing to different continents.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The UN’s top court on Friday rejected South Africa’s request to put more legal pressure on Israel to halt a threatened offensive against Hamas in the Gaza city of Rafah, saying it was “bound to comply with existing measures.”

South Africa had requested urgent measures to safeguard Rafah amid Israeli plans for a campaign in the city, Hamas’s last bastion in the enclave.

Pretoria has already filed a complaint against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, alleging that its assault on Gaza amounts to a breach of the Genocide Convention. The court has yet to rule on the underlying issue, but on January 26 it ordered Israel to ensure it took action to protect Palestinian civilians from further harm and to allow in humanitarian aid. It declined to grant South Africa’s central request to order Israel to halt its military campaign.

The ICJ said in a Friday statement that the “perilous situation” in Rafah “demands immediate and effective implementation of the provisional measures indicated by the Court in its Order of 26 January 2024, which are applicable throughout the Gaza Strip, including in Rafah, and does not demand the indication of additional provisional measures.”

The World Court added that Israel “remains bound to fully comply with its obligations under the Genocide Convention and with the said Order, including by ensuring the safety and security of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”

South Africa announced Tuesday that it had lodged an “ urgent request ” with the International Court of Justice to consider whether Israel’s military operations targeting the southern Gaza city of Rafah breach provisional orders the court handed down last month in a case in which Pretoria alleged genocide in the Strip.

On Thursday, Israel urged the court to reject what it called South Africa’s “highly peculiar and improper” request.

Israel says it does all it can to spare civilians and is only targeting Hamas terrorists. It says Hamas’s tactic of embedding in civilian areas makes it difficult to avoid civilian casualties.

Even so, the court last month ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death and destruction in Gaza, but stopped short of ordering an end to the military offensive that has laid waste to the Palestinian enclave.

On Thursday Israel assailed South Africa’s latest attempt to have the ICJ halt its campaign against Hamas, and accused Pretoria of abusing the Genocide Convention to protect the Islamist terrorist group.

In a short document, Israel described Pretoria’s entire application as “unfounded in fact and law” and “morally repugnant.”

Israel insisted that there had been no change in the situation in Gaza on the ground since the ICJ heard South Africa’s genocide allegations in January, and said that the “unprecedented military offensive in Rafah” of which Pretoria spoke “in fact has not happened.”

Israel described South Africa’s claims of an “unprecedented military operation” in Rafah on February 11 to rescue two Israeli hostages — which Hamas said killed dozens of Palestinians — as an “outrageous distortion,” and asserted that it was Hamas that was demonstrating “contempt for the law” by failing to accede to the ICJ’s call for the immediate and unconditional release of all remaining hostages.

Israel also pointed out that South Africa’s request for ICJ intervention, based on supposed concerns of impending genocide, actually cited comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “that make clear that any potential military operation is intended to target Hamas battalions in Rafah,” and noted that Netanyahu had himself spoken of the necessity of evacuating civilians from the city.

“This announcement is in line with Israel’s enduring commitment under international humanitarian law to minimize harm to civilians, even as Hamas — in its utter contempt for life and for the law — continues its abhorrent strategy of seeking to maximize such civilian harm through its ongoing attacks against Israeli civilians and through its use of Palestinian civilians and civilian objects as shields in Gaza itself,” Israel insisted forcefully in its submission.

Jerusalem said that South Africa’s use of Netanyahu’s statement that clearly emphasized Hamas was Israel’s target “exposes yet again an intention to abuse the Genocide Convention” and have the court “micro-manage” the conflict, the conduct of which is governed not by the Genocide Convention but by international humanitarian law over which the court has no jurisdiction in this war.

“It is evidence of a renewed and cynical effort by South Africa to use provisional measures as a sword, rather than a shield, and to manipulate the Court to protect South Africa’s longtime ally Hamas, a genocidal terrorist organization, from Israel’s inherent right and obligation to defend itself, in accordance with the law, from the terrorist assault it faces and to pursue the release of over 130 hostages,” declared Israel.

Blame ur damn and useless govt and stop blaming d parents

Problem is not too many kids, it is not preparing the educational system to train the kids to build the economy

Added population is an advantage. There are many countries who would love to have our fertility rates.

The reason why we think our population is a burden is because most Nigerians do not pay taxes, and most government income does not come from taxes. If the income came from tax, population being large would be a blessing..future tax payers being born, enough tax for the aged pensions and government spending...and more workers to drive the economy.

But because most government spending is in the form of sharing oil money, extra births is an extra burden in essence.

But if attempts are made to increase tax to gdp ratio, that is where we would hear...the poor, we are poor.

a4cube:
Did they start having too much kids today? Tell the illegal president to do his work. He is the problem right now.

gratiaeo:

So is it only people with many kids are suffering in Nigeria

Seun:

Why not use pepper spray or a rubber bullet? That's what they do in civilised countries like UK.

ocelot2006:


Why not tell Isreal to first end its seige of Gaza PLUS its 75+ years of brutal military occupation, land theft, dehumanisation, and killing of Palestinians? Do that and watch HAMAS disappear.

.

He's likely a paid agent. Because I can't imagine anyone over hyping a terrorist nation like this for any other reason but money.

k4kenny:


I've edited it for you. Ya welcome 🤗

Enough with this human shield propaganda. No one believes it anymore. Gone are the days israhell can just lie and brainwash the masses. Most of the bombs that killed those babies are dumb bombs, i.e not targeted, they can land anywhere and kill anyone. The used in killing Hamza Dahdouh, as well as the one they used in killing the Hamas head in Beirut were targeted missiles. They have the means of targeting Hamas without harming innocent civilians, but they choose not to out of sheer wickedness.

Moniya4Real:
Bros, you are callous o 😮 . You aren’t even having or begin your response by showing pity to these poor and innocent kids before making your points (which is most probably true ) known. May Gid comfort both innocent victims on both sides.

magzey:

They rescue 2 people and killed hundred innocent Palestine , who is a terrorist from your mixed brain

shoodboi2:
And don't allow Israel and their supporters who hope to use their Nairaland posts to collect an Israeli visa someday lie to you that this started in October 7.

Israel has been killing Palestinians for 75 years and israel increased the rate it killed Palestinians within the last 10 years.

Hamas attack on October 7 was a response to Israel's repeated murder of Palestinians.

shoodboi2:
Meanwhile, the babies that are lucky to survive Israel's repeated bombings on their family houses and refugee camps have become amputees.

Mind you, Israel killed many of these children in Rafah, the same "safe area" Israel told them to go.

shoodboi2:
Israel is gearing its propaganda as it wants to begin bombing Rafah. Rafah is the last of the so-called "safe areas" Israel would tell Palestinians to go.

Once they go, Israel begins bombing them there.

The same Israel continues to bomb hospitals and family houses in Gaza and West Bank, calling them power targets.


Every baby in the images below was killed when israel bombed their family house or hospital. The last baby is even still holding onto the bread he was eating when Israel bombed his house.
