God no respecter of persons! Correct!

But

1) Israel is special to God. Though special, God has repeatedly punished Jews for their sins. He has also punished other nations for their sins and for being wicked to Israel.

2) The destinies of other nations are linked to the destiny of Israel according to the Bible. The destinies of individuals, Jew or not, are linked to the Jewish Messiah, Jesus. Are you linked to Him. I did so more than 30 years ago.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. - Galatians 3:28

If you like keep worshipping Netanyahu and condoning his policies towards the Palestinians just know that one day he will have to give account for all the Palestinian blood he has shed.

You say Israel is special to God but did God tell them to use sniper fire to shoot unarmed protesters? Or is Palestinian blood not as important to Jesus? Abi Jesus didn't also die for them also?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE FACTS OF THE SITUATION ARE NOT IN DOUBT RIGHT OR WRONG.

UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE BIG PICTURE WHICH IS PROPHETIC YOU WILL ONLY SEE THE FACTS BUT NOT KNOW THE TRUTH.

SOONER OR LATER ISRAEL ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE WILL BE ON THE RECEIVING END AGAIN FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE END OF ALL THINGS. FOR THAT SHORT PERIOD ALL THE ENEMIES OF JEWS & CHRISTIANS WILL HAVE THEIR WAY AND REJOICE. BUT THEIR JOY WILL BE CUT SHORT WHEN JESUS RETURNS.

THAT IS THE TRUTH.

But God is not a God of injustice. In fact throughout the bible, it says that righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. So bia, God is not a respecter of persons whether you are Jewish or gentile.

Erdogan speaks from both side of his mouth. Turkey can never speak for the Arabs, was it not the same Turkey that was oppressing the Arabs till the Brits freed them. This same Erdogan that wanted Bashir Al-assad out and yet Iran wants Al-assad to stay. They seem to forget that the blockade on Gaza is by both Israel and Egypt. Egypt hates Hamas and until Hamas is removed from that place, those people will continue to surfer. Jordan has a vast land, let her absorb those Palestinians...For Iran to call on sanctions on America shows how foolish she is, does she want to starve them of their Oyel money...well thank God for the new Saudi Crown prince, the guy would rather dine with Netanyahou than walk with Rouhani. Do you know the arabs in Israel live better lives than those in Jordan. Those in jordan are called Palestinian refugees but those in Israel are called citizens....Let the Arabs take away hate from the negotiation table, Israel has come to stay and let them learn to live with it...The Egyptians are learning fast now

Hahahaha, Arabs in Israeli society are treated as second class citizens and Arabs in Palestinian territories (West Bank and Gaza) are really oppressed by the Israeli army. If you know what this people go through you would understand what this people are going through.

DoTheNeedful:
While I believe the Israeli forces were reckless with the Gaza causalities, no one is talking about Hamas. The primary believe of Hamas is that Israel must never exist and they are ready to do all it takes to wipe out Jews from the state of Israel. They don't believe in two-state solution unlike the PLO that are in control of the West Bank.

West Bank today is far more peaceful than Gaza because they have a more responsible leadership than the Hamas controlling Gaza. Hamas' hard-line position will never bring peace. It will only bring more suffering to the Palestinians.

As powerful as Israeli forces are, they don't feel safe with Hamas, that is the major reason for the blockade. Palestinians in Gaza should vote in a more responsible leadership.

The only way to achieve peace is for Hamas to recognize the Statehood of Israel and adopt two-state solution. I genuinely empathize with the Palestinians however, they need to be reasonable. sad

By the way, this statement by the Turkish president might work against Turkey's quest to integrate into the EU in the future.

But israel is occupying the West bank also. In fact there are approx. 600,000 Israelis living in the West bank with the Israeli military backing them while more and more expansion is approved by the Israeli legislature while the Palestinians are being squeezed in more and more.

I agree with you. It is unfortunate. But I am not about the right or wrong of Israeli action. It's about who owns the land. Every right or wrong done by Israel God ultimately will judge as He has always done. This whole thing IS BEYOND POLITICS. PROPHESIES ARE BEING FULFILLED IN REAL TIME.

The owners simply came back to their land! Check Wikipedia for Israel and Jerusalem. You can avail yourself of the historical details.

So you don't know how the Palestinians are being treated in Israel and how they are treated in their own territory by the Israeli army and you are talking? Wow!

On the contrary their God said he gave it to the Jews - Sura 5.21

I am not into how Israel manages her relationships with the Palestinians. Hamas et al are the problem according to Israel.

But Hamas is just a small part of the equation. In fact they are a small part of the Palestinian people but the Israeli govt use them as the boogeyman: an excuse to suppress the Palestinians.
If you know what Arabs face in Israel or what they face in Palestinian territory you won't talk. It's like apartheid in South Africa. Israeli soldiers and Israeli citizens occupy Palestinian territory (outside Israeli borders) and impose apartheid rule while living the Palestinians helpless and without rights now tell me who the aggressor and the aggrieved is.

The case of Israel is different. Very different.

Israel is a mystery! Uprooted 2 times in their history by Babylon and Rome they returned to the land God gave to them by promise to Abraham. There's NO NATION, TRIBE OR GROUP that was uprooted even once and successfully returned to their land.

Israel proves there is a God who makes promises and keep it.

THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL

After Hitler, the Jews are still going to be slaughtered by the Beast of the Apocalypse - for the last time. Then the Jesus they so thoroughly rejected will come to save them and they will morne in repentance. That's the Bible.

But the other side believe that their God also have it to them. So what do you say That?
WHAT do you also say to the Palestinian Christians and muslims ugh? What do you tell them? That they are inferior and that they don't deserve to have basic human rights and that they deserve to live under brutal oppression by the Israeli army who shoot at them with sniper fire whenever they protest?
Do you think God is like man who is partial and biased? Don't you know that God is also a God of justice and that he is no respecter of persons? (Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne).

This is nice idea. A way forward. I believe the police is grossly ineffective in its central function. In fact they have show so many times to Nigerians to be the opposite of what they represent. Policemen should actively be involved in this fight... But they are undertrained, unreliable and corruption within the police force makes it seem like the institution is under funded. Serious reform and ideas like yours can go along way to solve some of the 'police problems'

Police shoukd be accountable to the communities they serve and not to Abuja. The only thing the Fed govt could do is to help with training and funding of the police force through a security fund allocation it gives to states and a national police academy. That should be all.
The people in the community should be allowed to vote in the police chief (and even there judges) that way the police is more accountable to the people not the Fed govt. Ifthis happened you would hardly hear of police bribes because it would be difficult for you to extort your neighborfor bribes when your kids both play together in school.
Also, the police force that is drawn from the community would be more invested in protecting their community from thieves and outside invaders as opposed to some underpaid police recruit who has no ties to the local community. It's this simple my brother.

Recruiting more soldiers is not the answer. What they should do is what we should have done years ago after we switched to democracy and scrap the federal police model and live policing to local communities just like the British did. This was an effective model for a country with a large population until Aguiyi Ironsi changed all that and centralized policing in the hands of the Fed govt Its no wonder we have a problem we are having so many security issues in this country.

You have digressed totally from the questions, I had asked you earlier. You really need to do a lot of research before coming back to respond online. Intels has the concession for Onne sea port. For your information Onne sea port in the SS axis, has modern, efficient loading and offloading facilities.

Like i said earlier, maybe the ports are too shallow or maybe they don't have an adequate transportation system to move the cargo from the dock to the final destination.

So, if Onne port is privately run by Intels (the concession has been suspended by the NPA, by the way) does it mean that importers cannot use the port to bring their goods into the country?

What in goodness name is Intels? I do not know what that is.

Also, to answer your question, maybe the ports are too shallow to allow bigger ships to dock, after all who wants to crash their ship into a shallow water port? Besides, what if those ports don't have adequate equipment for massive unloading operations. Unloading a ship could be a very massive undertaking if you don't know. Then after the unloading, you need the to be able to transport those goods to their final destination either via rail network or massive trailers which those other ports don't have.

Note, however, that the Intels’ Onne port in River state is Nigeria’s best run and perhaps the most active ports in the country. The Intels’ Onne seaport is a privately-run seaport within the same region as the abandoned ports.

What about multiple taxation? Does d bill address this. If as a small biz I have to pay federal tax, state tax, LG tax and community tax how does biz strive.

Taxes are part of life o. As long as the taxes are collected once that's what should matter.

WHAT THE Fed govt should do is eliminate Fed taxes for 5 years for new companies then after, they can start paying at the usual rate.
They should also eliminate either the local govt tax or community tax. Only one should remain and it should be based on property value and not on revenue. In other words, if I own land or property that I use for my business then I pay taxes on it.
Finally, the tax rate on small businesses from the state and the federal level should be small and reasonable so as not to hamper their growth.
For example, one single tax bill of 16% of revenue where some go to Abuja,

The 8th Senate led by Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki on Tuesday passed a Bill to repeal and re-enact Companies and Allied Matters Act. The Bill comes 28 years after the passage of the original Companies and Allied Matters Act and will make Nigeria the best country in Africa to do business.
Ease of doing business plays a crucial role in the economic growth of any country. The processes, rules, and regulations set up by the government or government agencies can either help promote a business-friendly environment or hold businesses back from their entrepreneurial ambitions.
Nigeria ranks 145 out of 190 countries in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking, which rates countries for the ease at which one can open, conduct and close down businesses.
This landmark reform by the Senate will provide significant benefits to companies by reducing red tape and making it easier to comply with regulatory obligations. Most of the changes are aimed at encouraging investments that will allow small businesses and startups thrive, lower costs and ease regulatory burdens.
Changes included in the Bill will mean that many of the over 75,000 private companies limited by shares which are established in Nigeria every year will be able to incorporate more easily, resulting in savings in professional fees and substantial improvements to the ease of doing business in Nigeria by comparison to our competitors.
The Bill will to spur more young people to start new enterprises. Among the changes which benefit those aspiring to start a company is the ability of a single person to incorporate a company. Allowing new young and innovative start-ups the opportunity to operate as separate legal entities without the risk of loss of their personal assets.
In addition, small companies will no longer be required to have a company secretary or hold Annual General Meetings. The requirement for statutory declaration of compliance has also been removed.
Minimum share capital required for companies to be registered has been reduced to encourage more investments in small companies and individuals will no longer need a lawyer to register a company. To further facilitate registration and compliance the E-Registration and filing system has been enhanced.
The introduction of LLP as a new business vehicle will act as a step towards converting the informal, undocumented sector into a formal and regulated regime. The incorporation process is less stringent and formal as compared to a limited liability company.
New regulations have been introduced to revive ailing companies. A company can now reach compromises on its debts and for businesses which are nearly insolvent a new process for administration has been introduced which will enable such businesses to keep running under the supervision of an Administrator for a period of 12 months.
