madridguy:You should stand with Trump also when it comes to his support for Israel |
lawani:Let us even give the Iron Dome to US because of Trump wahala. What about the following air defense systems: Iron Beam Arrow 1, Arrow 2, Arrow 3, David's Sling ? |
Focusmind:They cannot bypass the State CJ. |
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/jews-not-just-ashkenazim-europe-135358096.html Jews are not just 'Ashkenazim from Europe, they are part of our history,' says Saudi journalist ADI COHEN Wed, January 21, 2026 at 2:53 PM GMT Saudi journalist Abdul Aziz Khamis breaks Middle East stigmas on interview with Dr. Cohen. January, 21. (photo credit: screenshot) "The problem is that we haven't known each other enough. There is a current refusal to accept the other and believe that Israel will collapse, but that is a strategic and historical mistake." "Peace is the only solution," said Abdul Aziz Khamis, a veteran Saudi journalist and former editor-in-chief of prominent newspapers such as Al-Majalla and Al-Arab, in the tenth episode of the "Mizrahan" podcast on Wednesday. In the podcast, hosted by Dr. Edy Cohen, Khamis shared his historical perspective on the Jewish people's right to their land in a conversation conducted in Arabic and translated into Hebrew. Dr. Cohen started the conversation by asking Khamis one question that concerns the Israeli public, "What happened to normalization? Why aren’t we seeing a breakthrough between Saudi Arabia and Israel right now?" he asked. Khamis explained that the Saudi side "Insists on recognizing a Palestinian state as a prerequisite for any future dialogue," as Israel does not accept this presented precondition, even despite agreements between the US and Saudi Arabia. According to the Saudi journalist, "The problem also lies with the Palestinian leadership – it lacks an effective leadership that can convince the Israelis to pursue peace." He added that regarding peace, Hamas, which draws from the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, "Does not recognize Israel's existence or the Jewish identity on Arab land. " Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman: ''The Arab world’s greatest fear is the Muslim Brotherhood and a Hamas victory.'' (credit: SAUDI PRESS AGENCY/HANDOUT VIA REUTERS) Khamis explained that Hamas has destroyed the Oslo Accords through terrorist attacks, also being responsible for the October 7 massacre. "As long as there are elements operating with blood and hate, supported by Iran, peace remains distant," he added. As his second question, Dr. Cohen addressed the antisemitic nature of Mecca mosque sermons, which speak against Jews as people, and going beyond anti-Zionism, asking, "How does this fit with Saudi Arabia’s 2030 vision?" The Saudi journalist answered, saying, "There are voices that are mistaken in their approach and in their choice of words, swept away by extreme propaganda. These preachers forget the Quran." He added, "In Surah Al-Baqara, verse 62, it clearly says that the believers, Jews, and Christians, anyone who believes in God and does good, their reward is secured, and they will not fear. Islamic principles acknowledge the People of the Book and their right to be different. I completely reject this rhetoric. The Prophet Muhammad himself was married to a Jewish woman, and his relations with Jews were good until his death." Khamis explained that the roots of the problem lie in the logic of hate spread across generations: "We need to formulate a new discourse of tolerance." Dr. Cohen moved on, asking, "What do you think about the Jews' right to this region?" Dr. Cohen stated that many Israelis feel that hatred is "too deeply rooted and that normalization will not happen in the next decade." The Saudi journalist explained that "The problem is that we haven't known each other enough. There is a current refusal to accept the other and believe that Israel will collapse, but that is a strategic and historical mistake. We must understand: the Jews have been in this region for thousands of years. They are an integral part of the Middle Eastern fabric. They had a state in the past, just as others did, and this is a reality today recognized by the UN." Diving into the origins of Jewish existence in the Middle East, Khamis offered a historical review, "Jewish existence in the region predates Islam. Let’s look at Iraq – Jews lived there for over 2,500 years. Isaac Sasson (Sasson Haskel), who was Iraq’s first finance minister, was Jewish and considered one of the best in his role. He fought against the British for Iraq’s oil rights. They had a presence in Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria." He added, "We cannot say they are just 'Ashkenazim who came from Europe.' They are part of our history. If we examine the region's history, we see it is filled with boundary changes shaped by the British and the French, but the Jewish presence is a solid historical fact. Instead of blood and hate, we need to have a dialogue and achieve rights through understanding." Iranian axis collapse: 'Hamas has become a burnt card for Khamenei' Later in the interview, Dr. Cohen addressed the matter of the Houthis in Yemen, "What about the Houthis in Yemen? Israel is now operating in Somaliland, and Saudi Arabia seems to be opposing it." Khamis responded, "It’s absurd. The Houthi threat and the missiles they launched towards Israel led Israel to position itself in the Horn of Africa and in Somaliland. The Houthis, with their foolish policy, allowed Israel to reshape its strategy and find bases near the Red Sea." "Arab countries complain about Israel's presence, but they did nothing against the Houthis. Israel is acting to protect its security, and it has the right to do so. You cannot deny the right of nations to security while supporting those who attack them. That’s hypocrisy and blindness," he added. "The Muslim Brotherhood is the source of destruction – anyone who associates with them fails." Regarding the Muslim Brotherhood's influence in the Middle East conflict, Dr. Cohen asked Khamis' opinion on what he thinks "About the Israeli left cooperating with Mansour Abbas and Ra’am, who are identified with the Islamic Movement?" The Saudi journalist's answer was clear, "Any entry of the Muslim Brotherhood with their ideology into the coalition will destroy this government from within. Mansour Abbas and his associates try to deny their connection to the Muslim Brotherhood because they understand that the world has started to despise this organization." He added, "They use words like 'reform' or 'development' to disguise themselves. We saw how the previous Israeli government fell very quickly. Any alliance with these elements brings you closer to defeat and failure. This ideology cannot fit into a democratic or stable government." Message to the people of Israel: 'Peace is the only solution' Dr. Cohen concluded the interview by asking Khamis to send a message to Israelis and Jews who were listening to the podcast. "My message is that peace is the only option, but it must be mutual and based on solid foundations. We all made mistakes in this region – Israel also made a mistake when it thought it could manage Hamas and give them suitcases of money. That mistake cost dearly," he concluded.

Idaytesj29:Your analogy is so warped, full of bias and hate against a land and its people that existed long before UN or American came into existence. It is like saying that America should not be recognized or acknowledged for what they are doing now, just because before they became superpowers, there were other superpowers in the world. America did not lack intelligence. They only became better with allies like Israel and Europe The Chief of US Airforce Intelligence made an official statement to US authorities and you are here talking inducement. .There is no inducement from anywhere. A corrupt man perceives every other person to be corrupt. You can decide to tell the full history of the world and middle east beginning from 1948 because that is what suits your hatred for a land and its people. The land and people of Israel is mentioned more than 40 times in the Quran, apart from the Bible. Ask yourself if that too was in 1948! |
Stockpromoter:Na wa for this your lengthy posts and runs for ROYALEX oooo! Wishing you the best |
Idaytesj29:Please google General George Keegan, former Chief of US Airforce Intelligence and his remark that US benefits from Israeli intelligence in a capacity equivalent to five (5) CIA operations combined; Also, google US Senator Daniel Inouye's statement that Israel 's intelligence to US surpasses all of other NATO members combined. |
Idaytesj29:Security intelligence. |
Idaytesj29:Not really. Israel gives a lot of intelligence to US too, which is very important to US. US gives a lot financial and military aid to Israel, but Israel also gives to US what no other nation gives to US |
Idaytesj29:Stop picking on Israel alone. The US also gives billions in aid and equipment to Egypt, S. Arabia, UAE, etc. All other countries in the middle east also buy weapons from Russia, China, N. Korea etc. But Israel also develops advanced weapons and sells to countries in Europe, Asia and beyond. How many of the middle east countries have been able to achieve that? |
Idaytesj29:Your post just confirms what I said. Israel does a lot of reaserch with US, but the big funding comes from US. The US itself is full of Jewish people who control the economy, politics, science and innovations of the US |
mankan2k7:Trump na sko sko person! ![]() |
May & Baker selling at N48? Unbelievable! |
otokx:For the long term, Access is a very good buy. It will surely close the gap with FBN and UBA when it fully recovers. Most banks that did some internal restructuring have experienced what Access is going through right now, including UBA itself, FBN, WB, etc |
Idaytesj29:So big countries like Germany and India do not know what you typed? And Germany and India would sign contracts with Israel to buy these equipment directly from Israel? Please, let us give credit where it is due. It is true that US gives weapons and aid to Israel. But Israel's experience with endless rocket attacks from its surrounding enemies (Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, etc) has made it to struggle and work very hard to invent some of the best air defense systems in the world: Iron Dome Iron Beam Arrow 3 David's Sling. Even if the US claims to own the Iron Dome, what about the other three systems? https://breakingdefense.com/2025/11/india-israel-sign-new-mou-on-defense-tech/ |
Our ''prophet'' is back from the ''wilderness'' with 2 more revelations: Access and UBA! ![]() |
eyesoflagos:A nation that does not seem to know where it's heading to. If you want to remove the dichotomy, then give to the polytechnics what the universities have. Upgrade their facilities, equipment, environment, enhance the criteria for admitting students, recruiting lecturers, etc. If the facilities and criteria are not the same, the two institutions cannot be the same. |
GreenCovering:Israel and US do a lot of joint research and development on miliary defense systems and equipment but the funding for large scale production comes from the US. That is the ruth. What about Arrow 3 and David Sling and Iron Beam? Why would Germany and other European countries sign contracts to buy air defense equipment from Israel if it is the US that own them? https://www.jns.org/many-european-countries-increasing-arms-purchases-from-israel/ https://www.dw.com/en/germany-steps-up-missile-defense-with-help-from-israel/a-75067175 |
Idaytesj29:Who says? Israel and US do a lot of joint research and development of military defense equipment and machinery but the finance and funding for large production comes mainly from US. That is the pure truth. Why is it that European countries are signing contracts with Israel to buy air defence systems like Arrow3 and David Sling? https://www.euronews.com/2025/12/03/germany-activates-first-elements-of-arrow-3-missile-defence-system-bought-from-israel https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-delivers-arrow-3-to-germany-in-largest-defense-export-deal-ever/ https://www.jns.org/many-european-countries-increasing-arms-purchases-from-israel/ https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/why-europe-buying-arrow-3-missile-defense-systems-israel-bw-010325 https://www.trtworld.com/article/963fb2592c7a |
Erniemax101:You are assuming that the treasury officer or accountant (that is supposed to track deposits and credit customers account) is super efficient, perfect, always at desk, working with no lunch break, no idle time, not attending any meeting, not answering a superior officer's duty call, not reporting to work a few minutes late, not having network or power problems in the office etc. There could be unforeseen circumstances at the broker's end which may cause some delay until the customer calls them, which is normal. |
KarlTom:Okay, thanks |
Mirasteel:So AI is your ''research'' Lazy people who rely on AI for easy way out instead of doing the search themselves: See the speech of the Indonesian president below: How could he be saying Israel's security is key to peace in the middle east if he does not recognize Israel: LIES https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/at-un-indonesian-president-says-guaranteeing-israels-security-key-to-peace-ends-speech-with-shalom/ https://en.antaranews.com/news/382236/prabowo-says-israels-security-key-to-lasting-middle-east-peace https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israel-was-surprised-by-indonesian-presidents-call-to-respect-israels-right-to-security-official-says/ |
SohSoh:Where will they locate the refinery? Ondo or Calabar? https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/01/clarivo-oil-plans-world-class-refinery-in-nigeria-ceo-obidike/#google_vignette |
Mirasteel:Keep on deceiving yourself. Go listen to the speech of the Indonesian president at the last UN meeting of Presidents. India just had a meeting with the Israeli govt few weeks ago in Jerusalem on trade and military/defence cooperation https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/india-and-israel-deepen-military-ties-gaza-starves https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahu-pauses-security-cabinet-meeting-on-gaza-deal-to-talk-with-indias-modi/ https://testbook.com/question-answer/in-november-2025-india-and-israel-held-the-17th-m--6952707f3a21172ff2ec39e3 |
FreeStuffsNG:You people are just good at telling lies to make you look good. Tell us where Samson met Delilah and what it has got to do with Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron. I say to you again: Palestine is a contrived invention to take away the land of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Hebron, Judea ad Samaria which are all in the land of Israel. |
HesInMe:So when would you pack your bags of money and return to NGX? After all the stocks have crashed in prices? See you..... you think say you be wise, abi? We go tell them to reduce the rates on fixed income....so you can run back to NGX . |
faoogoke:There may be information asymmetry at play. Insiders may have access to some info hence taking position before the info becomes public knowledge |
cocolacec:It is finished!! I comment my reserve! |
presiade:Okay |
Martialfc80:But it is worth more talking about what he needs to provide for the upbringing, education and wellbeing of the child. That is the advice he sought from us |
Monibabakan:NCR was N4 a few months ago. Today, it is N171! Ikeja Hotels was .80k just about 2 years ago. Today, it is N35! I tell people not to underrate any stocks that is still operating and listed on NGX. |
This NGX no balance at all! NCR trading at N171+ even though it has negative equity (N4.5b). Yet the almighty ''gurus'' are quiet, not saying anything. But if it were to be Oando, that is when they would remind us (very painfully ) that Oando has negative equity, so it is not supposed to rise.God dey. Ojoro people |
