Foreign AffairsRe: Israel Recalls Envoys To Ireland, Norway Over Palestinian State Recognition by CrownedPhoenix: 5:17pm On May 22, 2024

Israel's GDP is $509bn which is 2 times larger than ours ($253bn) and it has only 10m people. They export over $160bn worth of goods and services.

The aid the US gives them yearly is less than 1% of their GDP.

Which Israeli product have I ever used? I just Googled famous Israeli products and I came across Wix. It is a website builder.
Wix is relatively small compared to the military grade software that Israel builds and has blocked sales/export to countries.

The person you are quoting is hellbent on his own ideas and just clowning around.

Imagine the conspiracy theorist saying pictures being posted are from before Oct 7 attack? A region actively covered by journalists representing various interests? And it would not have been busted? If that's not conspiracy theory, I don't know what else to call it. Why not just say the death toll Hamas is offering the world as stats from the conflict is actually also from before the Oct conflict.

Feel free to join his circus.

Israel was operating unofficial largest open prison in the world, was taking Palestinian land bit by bit over the years with the rate of building settlements increased in the past few years and you called that "relative peace"?


Retaliating for more than half a year over a two days attack? That's more than retaliation, it is a campaign. A campaign of terror. Destroying everything along your path is not retaliation but an opportunity to do what you have been wishing to do all along which is total annihilation of a race just to steal what is left of their land
So, in 'over the years' Israel claimed the lands as you allege, had there been so much open confrontation/war as the past 'half a year' and two days you mentioned?

I really wish people understand what 'relative' in that comment meant.

So many pseudos on NL.

grin the region was at peace b4 oct 7? yet b4 oct7, israel had killed over400palestinians in the west bank and demolished close to 1000homes. what a peace is that? so, let israel get out of those countries immediately. there is nothing important about israel. they are just leeches who depend on aid eternally.
I believe that post you quoted said 'relative' peace. Or perhaps, you do not understand what the word 'relative' means?

People should learn to read and understand a post before quoting.

That's how a clown tried clowning himself as a black man in Africa. Forgetting that ongoing wars in most regions of the world have ripple effects one way or the other on other regions of the world and so, an international affair is an affair of all people of the world.

Or was it not here in Nigeria, Palestinian refugees were all over the streets of Lagos in the 90s?

There is nothing to debate here it is obvious. Isreal is just out to wipe out Palestine, this war is no longer about Hamas.

Do you know what is called over kill"?
Perhaps, it then becomes debatable at what point it becomes an overkill.

But basically, a right thinking person cannot talk down Israel or any country for that matter (e.g. USA and 9/11) for its responses to external threat.

They should be recalled.

Imagine the region had relative peace. All of a sudden a terrorist group attacked and killed thousands of a country. These countries did nothing. Then the country retaliates and they're all crying blue murder!

Looking like especially Spain is only out for political correctness.

Please don't forget to kick their entire envoys out too.

Yes. They just released a similar kidnapper like him in Taraba. I forgotten his name.
If they release a kidnapper, the family of one of his victims should hunt him down and kill him. No story.

Story. Make dem sentence him to 15 years with hard labour and without option of fine. I'm very sure this stupid Evans might have killed some of those he abducted and he wants plea bargaining so he can continue the business of kidnappings.
Which kain comment be this? 15 years instead of the death penalty for murder?

The murder na self defence abi na manslaughter?

15 years my foot.

Why plea bargain? They should have just fined him nah. Nonsense

Wawu! So all these death figures Al-Jazeera & co have been brandishing came from Hamas themselves?

We've all been fooled once again.

I do not like war but just like Wike vs Fubara, there is a level a person can push you to, retaliation is inevitable undecided

All of a sudden, a set of people sent a barrage of missiles, bombed and kidnapped people. Then turn around to the media to shed crocodile tears when retaliation came.

It was an eyesore to watch that video where a local govt chairman in Rivers State held a microphone and openly insulted the state governor calling him a fool.

That was a deciding moment for me.

What an effrontery.

Fubara needs to deal with him and his lot. From Wike to the least member in that gang.

Could not help laughing when I saw them the other day under the sun in a solidarity March. So they all could be so humbled?

Lost it for a bit there.

Bro be quoting statistics like we don't know Oloshoism, money laundering and Yahoo Yahoo is the bedrock of that so called industry.

Get money from Yahoo yahoo, become content creator to clean up the money and/or push their nonsense fraud glorifying music.

I ask, just how much does the entire 'industry' in itself generate? Not projected, currently generate, compared to what IT is doing with Medicine, Banking/Fintech, Telecoms, Engineering, Architecture and in fact, everyday life.

Imagine saying Computing is part of the creative industry.

They be hyping crap always.

Not that there are no few hardworking people in there though. But 'BEDROCK'? Please!

Yes, I do. It is one of the industries that has kept the economy of the country going employing millions of our youths. It includes both the film, sports, fashion information technology and music industry. Without much investment from the government, look at how much have been achieved. The same industry has placed the country on the global map for good.

You see 'yansh, breast etc' but I see genuine hardworking men and women toiling day and night just to make something out of nothing. The likes of Funke Akindele, RMD, Kanayo O Kanayo, Burnaboy, Wizkid, David, Sabinus, Layi Wasabi, Basketmouth, Ali Baba etc. This also includes the directors, producers, script writers etc.

Just imagine what the amount of money that the industry draws for the country. According Businessday, "Nigeria's creative industry is poised to hit a projected revenue of $100 billion by the year 2030".

I hope you now see why I used the word 'bedrock '
Information Technology creative industry? Lol.
Instead, Computing has been a bedrock for the creative industry. Giving you digital tools for your editing, application platforms for the sales and distribution of your contents and so many countless other windows of opportunities it has afforded the creative industry.

Please, if you're not sure if Information Technology has done more for the entire world than 'creative industry' has ever imagined or if it is an industry on its own, kindly group it with Science and Technology. It's pure Sciences, thanks.
It's a spit in the face to consider all the science and engineering that goes into Computing/IT and round it all up as mere 'Creative Industry'. Please!

Well, actually, I got mad love for Sabinus etc. I spend a good amount of time consuming creative contents on weekends.

But here's what, a so called industry that barely caters for those in its fold and cannot afford them decent lives cannot be a 'bedrock'.
You name a few (RMD & co) who may not even be surviving from the proceeds of their 'industry' but, what about the countless others who the industry has actually not given any decent earnings for their livelihood. Then go to the IT sector and find out what decent earning means..

Anyway, you may continue basking in the euphoria of being a bedrock.

I rest.

Do you even understand what a 'bedrock' is?

Entertainment, yansh and breasts and the whole lotta bullocks y'all sing is only secondary to any human being's survival, let alone as a country.

Creative whatever is not a bedrock of/in any country, definitely not in Nigeria.
