''ALL NATIONS OR CULTURES WHO ONCE TRIED TO DESTROY US, NO LONGER EXIST TODAY"! - BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

I was going to cry when I read this speech from the prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, but at the end I say glory to God.

Let’s read together .

Mr. Nethanyahu said:

Only 70 years ago! The Jews were taken to slaughter like sheep.

> 60 years ago!

> NO country. No Army.
Seven Arab countries declared war on the small Jewish state, only a few hours after its creation!

> We were 650 Jews against the rest of the Arab world!
NO IDF (Israel Defense Army).
No powerful air force, only brave people with nowhere to go.

> Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia

> all attacked at the same time.

> the country that the United Nations gave us was a 65 % desert.

> the country is out of nowhere!
> 35 years ago! We fought the three armies most

> Powerful in the middle east, and we swept them in six days.
We fought against various coalitions of Arab countries, which had modern armies and many Soviet weapons, and we have always beaten them!
Today we have:

> a country,

> an army,

> a powerful air force,

> A State-of-the-Art Economy, which exports millions of dollars.

> Intel – Microsoft – ibm develops products at home.

> our doctors receive awards for medical research.
> we make the desert bloom, and sell oranges, flowers and vegetables all over the world.

> Israel has sent its own satellites into space!

> three satellites at the same time!

> We are proud to be at the same rank as:

> The United States, which has 250 million inhabitants,

> Russia, which has 200 million inhabitants,

> China, which has 1.3 billion inhabitants;

> Europeans – France, Great Britain, Germany – with 350 million inhabitants.
> the only countries in the world to send objects into space!

> Israel is now part of the family of the nuclear powers,

> with the United States, Russia, China, India, France, and

> Great Britain.
> (we have never officially admitted it, but everyone knows it)

> and say that only 60 years ago,

> we were LED, ashamed and hopeless, to slaughter!

> we have extirpés the smoking ruins of Europe,

> we have won our wars here with less than nothing

> we built our little "Empire" from nothing.
Who's Hamas to scare me?

> to terrify me?

> you make me laugh!

> Passover was celebrated;

> Let's not forget what this is about.

> we survived Pharaoh,

> we survived the Greeks,

> we survived the Romans,

> we survived the inquisition in Spain,

> we have the pogroms in Russia,

> we survived Hitler,

> we survived the Germans,

> we survived the Holocaust,

> we survived the armies of seven Arab countries,

> we survived saddam.

> we will survive the enemies present
Think of any time in human history!
Think about it, for us, the Jewish people,

> the situation has never been better!

> then let's face the world,
Let us remember:

> all nations or cultures

> who once tried to destroy us,

> no longer exist today – while we still live!

> Egypt?

> the Greeks?

> Alexander of Macedonia?

> the Romans? (does anyone still speak Latin these days? )

> The Third Reich?

> and look at us,

> The Bible Nation,

> The slaves of Egypt,

> We are still here,
And we speak the same language!

> then, and now!

> Arabs don't know yet,

> but they will learn that there is a God.

> as long as we keep our identity, we are forever.
So forgive us for not worrying,

> not to cry,

> not to be afraid.

> things are fine here.

> they could certainly get better,
However:

> Don't believe the media,

> they don't tell you

> parties continue to take place,

> people continue to live,

> people keep coming out,

> people continue to see friends.
Yes, our morale is low.

> so what?
Only because we mourn our deaths while others rejoice in the blood shed.
> that is why we will win, in the end.
Never sleep or sleep the guardian of Israel! Yahweh God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Forward this speech to the whole community,

> and to people around the world.

> they are part of our strength

Italy holds funeral for 26 Nigerian girls drowned in Mediterranean ( Photos)

Italy held a mass funeral on Friday for 26 young Nigerian women who drowned while trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea.

A Roman Catholic bishop and a Muslim imam both said prayers at the simple ceremony in the southern city of Salerno, with 26 wooden coffins laid out on a stone dais. A single white rose was placed on the lid of each.

Just two of the women were identified.

"It is very likely that these girls were victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation," said Federico Soda, director UN migration agency IOM for the Mediterranean.

A recent IOM report had estimated that 80 percent of Nigerian girls arriving in Italy by sea might be trafficking victims.

The 26 bodies were retrieved from the sea on Nov. 3 by a Spanish rescue ship, while some 64 people were unaccounted for and feared lost, bringing the total dead to around 90, said Flavio Di Giacomo, an IOM spokesman.

Survivors found on nearby rubber boats said the women were all Nigerian and had left Libya hoping to make it to Italy.

The only two identified were named as Marian Shaka, who was married, and Osato Osaro. Both were pregnant. Some of those who died were believed to have been as young as 14.

Almost 115,000 migrants, mainly African men, have reached Italy so far this year, according to government data released on Friday, against just over 167,000 in the same period last year.

IOM said at least 2,925 people died trying to cross the Mediterranean from Jan 1.-Nov. 5 against 4,302 last year.

The Italian government has worked with Libyan authorities to block migrants from leaving the north African state, leading to a sharp fall in new arrivals since the summer.

The government says its policy has cut the number of sea deaths, while critics say it has left thousands of refugees and migrants trapped in appalling conditions in Libya.

Oranmiyan / State Boys Attack Sunshine Stars Footballers, Supporters .. Five Hospitalized

Less than one week after Osun State Commissioner for Regional Integration, Mr. Bola Ilori, threatened to attack Ondo State indigenes, thugs from the state have made good the threat.

The thugs, numbering one hundreds, arrived at the Ijebu-Ode stadium, venue of the football match between Ondo State team, Sunshine Stars and the Osun State team in more than 30 buses, vowing to wreck havocs. The match started on a peaceful note with no particular unwholesome incident, as the two teams battled for a semi-final place in the 2017 edition of the FA cup.

Trouble, however, started when the Ondo team, who had lost the first leg match a few days earlier in Osogbo by a lone goal, defeated the Osun team by 3-1, thereby qualifying for the next stage on 3-2 aggregate. Speaking with newsmen in Akure, the Ondo State Commissioner for Sports, Mr. Saka Yusuf Ogunleye, said that the thugs mobilized to the Ijebu-Ode stadium determined to unleash terror on the Sunshine Stars team and their supporters.

Ogunleye, while condemning the attack, said the Ondo State team exhibited a true spirit of sportsmanship when it lost in the first leg, and wondered why a football match should be turned to an opportunity to unleash terror on peaceful football lovers. The commissioner said the behavior of the Osun State team supporters was very reprehensible and a shame to the game of football. He said: “The match started on a peaceful note. We scored three goals, while they scored one goal. With the result, we were going to qualify for the next stage of the competition, with 3-2 aggregate.

“But, just as the referee of the match signaled the end and blew his whistle, thugs of the Osun team invaded the field and inflicted various degrees of injuries on our supporters.

“It took the intervention of the security agencies, especially the army, to rescue our players. But the supporters were not that lucky, as about 20 of them were injured, with two of them critically injured and had to be rushed to the hospital.”

He added that those whose cases were critical were still in hospital receiving medical attention as of the time of filing this report. Also speaking, the team manager of Sunshine Stars, Mr. Aborowa Gabriel, expressed sadness over the ugly incident.Gabriel said: “After we rescued our supporters that were injured, we took them to the hospital where they were treated.

“But, after the president of the nation’s FA, Mr. Amaju Pinnick, called me and said we should not allow the matter to degenerate, I went to the police station, where I met the Special Adviser on Sports to Osun State governor. “I am also aware that it took the intervention of a prominent Oba before the thugs were released. Acts like this have no place in football, and should be condemned by all.”

Primate Ayodele: Five Nations Will Come Out of Nigeria; Two Will Be Greater Than Three

Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele is the head and founder of Inri Evangelical Spiritual Church with headquarters in Lagos. After the recent publication of his 2017/2018 edition of Warning to the Nations: A Collection of Divine Signals, he speaks with TribuneChurch about what should be expected in Nigeria and beyond.

A short while ago, the Federal Government said that the country was out of recession. How true is this?

I said it in 2014 that Nigeria would be hit by recession. If the Federal Government is trying to score political points by saying that the nation is out of recession, then it should try something else. We are still in recession. Until the government is ready to do the right thing, we are not likely to come out of this. The government must get the best economic team to handle this. There is hunger in the land. People are hungry and frustrated. They are angry. There is bitterness and pain in the land. The government cannot come out to say that all is well. All is not well. We are in recession.

What do you think should be done so that we can come out of this situation?

A lot of things must be done. The government must do something more rewarding about the issue of agriculture. We should not be sending food out when it is obvious that many people are hungry. The agriculture sector must be taken seriously and strengthened. Churches with many parishes should invest in agriculture. Many young churches are struggling. Mega churches should be encouraged to go into agriculture. Churches are to help people. That is what we are doing. Churches must get involved in mechanised farming. There should be changes in the Central Bank of Nigeria. The same thing should be done to the NNPC. Nigeria’s oil will not exist in 10 years time. The quality of our oil will drop.

There are agitations today in the country, particularly in the South-East. You predicted some years ago that a time would come when the country as a whole would be no more. What can be done?

Nnamdi Kanu has taken the wrong step in his fight for Biafra. He cannot actualise it. But the government must dialogue with him because his agitation will cause pandemonium. There will be a lot of factions within the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB). Some people would penetrate the group in order to cause issues. Besides, I see a major referendum in the nearest future; it is not now. No government can stop the disintegration of Nigeria. Only God can stop it. Note my words: only God can stop Nigeria’s disintegration, but it is not yet time. By 2035, Nigeria will be no more. Five nations will come out of the country. Two will be greater than three.

As we approach the 2019 general election, so many happenings in the country have been attributed to the election year. What should be expected?

Neither the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) nor the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) can take Nigeria to the next level. I have five names of people who can take Nigeria to the next level, but it is not yet time to announce them. You know the way we are in this country. Should I announce those names, they would tell me that I have been bribed.

Unfortunately, President Muhammadu Buhari cannot take Nigeria anywhere. Atiku Abubakar cannot take Nigeria anywhere. He should consult God before stepping in. When Dr Goodluck Jonathan wanted to re-contest in 2015, I told him to consult God. Atiku should consult God so that his ambition will not ruin his image or personality. He must watch out. Buhari’s second term is not the best for Nigeria. He knows that. He should leave in 2019 and pick someone else from his party. A northerner will still rule in 2019. No South-West governor will rule in 2019.

The Supreme Court appears to have solved the leadership crisis in the PDP. What is your take on this?

The Supreme Court did not solve anything. It only pointed to the right person to be the leader of the party. PDP is under duress. They are being manipulated. They should first carry out a cleansing of the party. After that, they should carry out consultation about how they can do better than they have been doing before now. If not, PDP will lose it in 2019.

In all of these, where does the South-West stand ?

That region is a divine region. It should just calm down. When things go awry, South-West has been the one always settling them. There are so many factors that will come out from the South-West before 2019. In order not to cause chaos, you must give it to a northerner – the right person. Even in Oyo State, the next person to rule the state will be announced at the right time. A small fish will swallow a big fish in Oyo State, even in Osun. In Anambra, if Obiano is focused and takes the right steps, he will retain that seat but not PDP. PDP cannot take over that state. There is even more hope for APC than PDP. The broom which is the symbol of the APC is very spiritual; you should not see it as just ordinary. Very soon, you will see more people decamping to the PDP.

What about the recall process of Senator Dino Melaye?

Look at the travails of Dino Melaye. It is a big fight. He is getting it wrong. He would have been the best person to confront the governor of his state but he is getting it wrong. He is taking it out of proportion.

Will the world become a better place?

The world will continue with the troubles that afflict it. There is no peace in Nigeria. There won’t be peace in the world. More calamities and criminalities will go on. I told you in 2015 that kidnapping would take another dimension in Nigeria and beyond. When I said so, many people laughed. I also predicted that Ebola, Lassa Fever had not gone, people also laughed. Is that not what we are witnessing today?

Aregbesola's Commissioner Bola Ilori Beaten Up In Ondo State

Bola Ilori, the Ondo state born commissioner for regional integration in Osun state was embarrassed and assaulted in Akure , the Ondo state capital on Thursday at the All Progressives Congress restructuring meeting.

 Bola Ilori, has said that persons suspected to be political thugs who assaulted him in Akure on Thursday were acting on the instructions of a top government appointee in Ondo State (name withheld).

Ilori was assaulted by some suspected political thugs at the zonal meeting of the All Progressives Congress in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The meeting was being held at the International Events Centre, Akure, on Thursday.

Ilori, who represented Osun State at the forum, was assaulted when he left the hall to grant interview with reporters at the entrance of the hall.

His clothes and underwear were torn by his attackers.

Without any elaborate explanation, Ilori alleged that a top Ondo State Government official sent the thugs to attack him.

“It is the (name withheld) that sent them,” Ilori alleged.

He and his supporters left the venue shortly after.

It would be recalled that Bola Iloru, an Ondo state indegene from Ondo Town led other members 

of the All Progressives Congress to the Alliance for Democracy during the election which

 produced Rotimi Akeredolu as governor of the state.

Iran smuggling dangerous weapon into Yemen, says U.S Admiral

Top US commander in the Middle East, Vice Admiral Kevin M. Donegan on Monday, accused Iran of  smuggling illicit weapons and technology into Yemen, stoking the civil strife there and enabling Iranian-backed rebels to fire missiles into neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

“These types of weapons did not exist in Yemen before the conflict,” said Donegan. “It’s not rocket science to conclude that Al Houthis are getting not only these systems but likely training and advice and assistance in how to use them, he said in a lengthy interview with the Gulf news.

Donegan said that the bitter rift between Qatar and many of its Gulf neighbours, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who accuse Qatar of financing militants and having overly cosy relations with Iran, has not yet hindered coalition efforts to battle terrorism, piracy or other mutual maritime scourges.

Donegan’s most pointed accusations focused on suspected Iranian assistance to Al Houthi rebels.

Iran has been repeatedly accused of providing arms helping to fuel one side of the war in Yemen, in which rebels from the country’s north, Al Houthis, ousted the government from the capital of Sana’a in 2014.

The officer, Vice Admiral Kevin M. Donegan, said that Iran is sustaining Al Houthis with an increasingly potent arsenal of anti-ship and ballistic missiles, deadly sea mines and even explosive boats that have attacked allied ships in the Red Sea or Saudi territory across Yemen’s northern border.

Donegan gave his assessment in an hourlong telephone interview from his 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain as he prepared to conclude his two-year tour, and take a new assignment at the Pentagon.

Vice Adm. Kevin M. Donegan, is the commander of the 5th Fleet, overseeing the U.S  Navy’s contribution to the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
