Please refresh your obscure facts before making them public. Israel was engaged in 1967 war with the Arabs and was in no position to support Biafra. France never supported Biafra due to colonial doctrines. Nigeria was British domain and France knew to stay away.

Why do you have this amnesia and comprehension issues....https://books.google.cd/books?id=82l6u24sRKsC&pg=PT230&lpg=PT230&dq=how+was+the+ISRAELI+ASSISTANCE+TO+BIAFRA&source=bl&ots=XrF-XGp8vd&sig=C78yhpDETfc0bex5k4CuE5rG7fM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=MO0nVZPIOMT1asSegNgP&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=how%20was%20the%20ISRAELI%20ASSISTANCE%20TO%20BIAFRA&f=false




The Biafran secession of 1967 and ensuing civil war presented Israel with an acute dilemma. Israel sought to maintain correct relations with the Federal Government of Nigeria, which viewed as a hostile act any support rendered to the Biafran separatists. At the same time, the plight of the Igbos reminded many Israelis of the Holocaust. This article makes use of Israeli archival material to shed new light on how Israel shaped its policy towards the conflict. The Israeli public, press and parliament called for assistance to Biafra, evoking their country's deep moral obligation to help a people in distress. Israel aided Biafra, including, in a clandestine manner, the supply of weapons for which the secessionists pressed, in addition to humanitarian assistance. At the same time, Israel also sold arms to Nigeria, seeking to prevent a diplomatic rupture with the Lagos government that would have affected Israel's position in all of black Africa.

Ibos are african Hebrews and there has been cultural and technological connection between both parties

Duru1:
The above post is a display of avoidable ignorance. How could anybody get ready for war when saddled with a country which was besieged with war of attrition at birth? If Biafra had been allowed to strive for a year as an independent country, then it could be wise to talk about preparation for war or not.

Then why go to a war that was doomed from the start?

raumdeuter:
So what do you plan to do about it

Kill other peoples leaders and Start another war like that and the result would be worse

Were there two sections of Nigeria in 1966? I guess the January 15 1966 coup plotters killed the useless leaders in Nigeria. You are free to inject the tribal plank into the discussion.

Mynd44:
Look let's stop being nice and fave the facts, there was no way Ojukwu would have won that war. It was implausible.

The entire might of the FG against them?

wat is FG?Biafra was also a FEDERATION.that war was Biafra vs Nigeria,Germany,Britain and the soviet union

Mynd44:
Then why go to a war that was doomed from the start?

Only cowards die many times before their death. Eastern region of Nigeria was not western region of Nigeria where men shook like dry leaves on a tree at the sight of a soldier from northern region of Nigeria. If northerners attempt to bring fight to the door post of Igbo land tomorrow, you can bet there must be a war.

You displayed one of the major problem of Nigeria. Any fool could have written the crap you posted. The fact remains that in 1967, Israel was at war with Arabs. No country can afford to help another country while fighting its war of survival.

And the Civil war soldiers too killed the useless people in Nigeria. Benjamin Adekunle killed the foolish people who had no sense and came with a knife into a gun fight

I do not know about civil war soldiers who killed useless people in Nigeria. However, I knew about one idiotic and loudmouthed Benjamin Adekunle who was practically man-handled at the battle front by the Biafran soldiers that prompted his sack as GOC of 3MCDO of Nigerian army.

So the "prolonged" war made him and his cronies to convert Oil assets into their private assets? Can he tell us how inherited oil wells worth billions $ from South/South even though they cooperated with them during the war? So they rewarded S/S for their cooperation by stealing and rapping their resources?

Benjamin Adekunle manhandled the 3m Biafrans in front of him that the warlord had to flee to Abidjan like a thief in the night

The Army had to call him back before he exterminated everyone in that Biafran jungle. Duru that act of pulling him out saved you

^^^Is that what's giving you a bone'r?....The satisfying thought that the people you can't stand are now in 'political wilderness' as you put it?

This 'political wilderness' you talk of.....care to tell me what exactly it entails? Is it that a few Igbo elite wouldn't control or get top positions in your darling Buhari gov't? Does it mean Buhari will sit down with a Hausa/Fulani kitchen cabinet and plan on how to deny Ndigbo their due in the scheme of things?

Ok, Hausa/Fulani/Northerners and Yoruba have at one time or the other produced the president or head of state; please explain in detail how Yorubaland or the North benefited from this while excluding the South East and leaving them marginalized; just so we know what to expect from the in-coming Buhari gov't that's getting you so excited!

Cheers!

I never supported the foool call GEJ because I know that Niger Deltans are stvpid, they have abandoned the struggle and started yabbing nonsense.
Imagine Adaka Boro was lured into fighting Biafrans and killed in the process, Asari said ND youths are unemployed yet he took his investments outside Nigeria.

Loool, I know people like Edwin Clark and Jonathan are clinical coward especially the dirty old Clark

OK... You're well informed that in next 16yrs We may never have an Igbo man contesting for the presidency... of the three major tribes in Nigeria, Igbo is now behind Ijaw

most of d ibos dat wia killed in d north before d civil war started,am talkin of d ones dat wia killed afta d first coup,dserv wot dey got,ur pple wia abusin northerners in Northern Nigeria,and dey wia even praisin d liks of Nzoegwu for killin d premier of d North ahmadu bello.d first killin of ibos in d North started on may 29 till around june 5.why did ojukwu av to wait till may 1967 before he declared dat d eastern region is now to b known as biafra.or wia ibos killed again in d north in 1967

^^^Nice one!

My 'loving' fellow compatriot who obviously believes in his one Nigeria experiment and wants it to continue is saying that some of his 'fellow compatriots' who were targeted for annihilation in their tens of thousands got their just desserts because some of their kinsmen took part in the bloody first coup! He also says that they deservedly got their comeuppance because he was told that some Igbo were rejoicing in the streets of the north and mocking northerners on said coup!

Now going by 'my fellow compatriots' own reasoning, if Ndigbo -having looked at what northerners did to them- decide to opt for secession (remember his logic is that all options should be left open to the wronged party if they feel some of them have been unjustly targeted and the villains responsible are yet to show remorse for their actions)......if they so decide, would he support their actions as he's supporting the northerners that went out on an org'y of violence and hacked down tens of thousands of innocents in cold blood?

Dude, according to you, you say the targeting of Igbos after the first coup in the north only lasted for 8 days! Are you saying after the 5th of June the killing stopped and hence Ojukwu had no reason to declare Biafra?.....I just want to understand you properly!

Danjuma is a fool,he is bragging for killing innocent and armless people,where is his people today? Are they in any way better than the igbos today,the Fulanis and Hausa will continue to peper them till end of time.

But you're yet to tell me the benefits of this presidency to a region or group of people that warrants all this your mockery! Let's take the north for example.....what are the benefits they've gained from producing Presidents and Heads of State for decades, as opposed to say the Igbo who haven't!?

ojukwu shouldn't av declare biafra in 1967 if it was really because ibos are been killed.or wia ibos killed in 1967?

hmmm,,tell me why ukraine didn't go to war wit russia,afta russia took ova creamea? Or are d pple of ukraine cowards too?

Apples and oranges, Ukraine is not being forced to be under Russia, only part of their territory was in question, a part with indigenous Russian populace, Ukraine is a very bad example to use to judge the Case of Biafra.

ehie:
thanks a lot for the enlightenment
I didn't know they taunted northeneRs prior to the genocide in Kano, i know of Ironsi's kid handling Nzegwu ?
I also didn't know of Biafran soldiers eating aid food while the CivilianS ate lizards..

The taunting stuff were all made up, to soothe the conscience of the blood sucking demons in the North. There is no evidence whatsoever of such taunting ever taken place. The particular song they even refer to as having been sang by Ndiigbo to taunt them was actually sang by a man from Cameroon with maternal roots in Kalabari, and the song was not sang to taunt anyone.

Last week Fulani did it too but its not massacre, its window dressing

Yolobas have highjacked the thread.
They have forgotten Ogundipe who ran away to UK
without hearing a gunshot.
They have forgotten the same North killed Fajuyi.
They have forgotten the same North killed Abiola.
They have forgetten the same North killed Kudirat.
The same North jailed Awolowo and other yoloba
leaders.
The same North roped coup allegation against
Awolowo which cost him his life.
They have forgotten the same North killed Dele
Giwa.
They have forgotten the same North made
Oladikpo Diya cry before a recruit.
They have forgotten the same North ransacked Ore
in 1999.
Ibadan traders were killed in North with their
money taken away yolobas downplayed.
Yoloba pastors were the of the victims of BH
attacks in churches in North yet they downplayed
it.
Last week Oyedepo's church was burnt down in
Kaduna, yolobass kept blind eyes.
They have forgotten the same North ransacked
Oshogbo last month.
They don't know the same North ransacked Kwara
this week.
Yolobas are busy defending the North, yolobass are
busy fighting the Northerner war online but ofline
they are not consider Muslims by the same North,
the North don't marrry their Muslims women, the
North don't allow yoloba iman to lead in prayer in
Mosques in Yolobaland, Yoloba muslims are now
worshiping on Sundays in yolobaland because they
can't stand the Northern constant bullying.
Yolobas were killed during Cartoon Riots in North
they downplayed it, they were killed duriing US
invasion of Iraq they downplayed it, they were
killed during Jos riots they always downplay it, they
were killed during Miss World yet they downplayed
in and keep defending the North.
When the NYSC members were killed in 2011 post
election violence they came here jubilating that
Igbos were been served right, when the list of
victims came oout they donated five graduates
while Igbos donated 3 yet they downplayed it.
Despite all these attacks and killings of yolobas
nobody has heard that a yoloba person was
attacked in East yet we are being insulted and
accused of not accommodating by the same
yolobas we consider their lives sacrosanct.

Yolobaaaaaa ronuuuuuuuuuuu

Igbos are not your problems, we love you and we
wish you no misfortunes, face your tormentors and
let us live.

I must confess, it baffles me the way Yorubas go about defending their Northern masters.

When we eventually get Biafra, Yorubas will make a good vassal to Arewanistan, they are so naturally built to defend their Northern masters, it must be in their DNA.

agabaI23:
They were not willing for all out war against their own but they ordered the massacre of everything that was moving in Asaba, boasted about killing their men, raping their women and killing them and their children? They were not willing for an all out war against their own but they blocked food aid and they boasted that starvation was a weapon of warfare knowing that children and women would be mostly affected.

Do not use that their own in the same sentence because if they saw saw Igbos as their own, the progrom of the Igbos living in the North and other parts of Nigeria would not have happened before the war was declared

Don't delve into this....

You hit the nail on the head, you are the man with the big hammer!

Mynd44:
Attacking the coastlines and a blockade are two different things.

Spin it the way you want to. Biafra blockade was made possible by three factors!

1. The USSR, who provided naval support, not your useless non existent Nigerian navy.

2. The Sabotage from the Adaka Boros of this world, who won the battle of the creek for the Nigerian Army.

3. The Cameroon situation, who were duly compensated with Bakassi for closing their borders on Biafra, and you have to suspect that the fact that the Cameroonian president at that point in time was a Fulani, made things easier for Nigerians.

Segeggs:
@bold. Are you serious?

Thesame ojukwu that fled to abidjan in a female attire?

Ojukwu fought till there was nothing more to fight for! There was simply no limit to the amount of Biafran civilians, the Nigerian Army and their controllers were willingly to sacrifice, to force Biafans to surrender!

Ojukwu had to surrender to save Biafrans! You see why we love him!

The fight was to free the Biafran civilians, but if in the end there be no more Biafran civilians,( for that was the ultimate aim of Nigerians, seeing the way they were bombing women and children in market places and homes, and then starving to death, those that escaped the bombs) then the aim of the war would be defeated!

Awo and co sought for a way to force Biafan soldiers into submission and ending the war as quick as possible, for their British masters were getting impatient, the more the war prolonged, they( Nigerian Army) couldn't get the Biafran soldiers, so they went for the jugular, the Biafran civilians! And it worked.
