FG SHOULD RENEW PARTNERSHIP WITH ISRAEL TO DEFEAT BOKO HARAM---Rev Afenifuja

 The Federal Government has been called upon to renew the country’s partnership with Israel, if the war against Boko Haram and other terrorists must be totally won. Making the call recently in Lagos, in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Holocaust in Auschwitz, the executive director of IStandWithIsrael (ISWI), Rex Ajenifuja, believes the Jewish country has the wherewithal to end every element of terrorism anywhere in the world. According to the pastor, the administration of immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan engaged Israel to tackle terrorism, but since the contract ended, Buhari has not deemed it necessary to renew it. He noted that the failure of Nigeria and other African nations to identify with the Jews and pray for them might be responsible for the lacklustre attitude of Israel to oblige the continent necessary intelligence to fight terrorists. Asserting that the Holocaust is synonymous with Jewish suffering, he said Jews did not feel the impact of Christians, especially the Vatican, when about six million Jews were smoked to death by Adolphus Hitler, who was believed to be a Christian. He said the Holocaust was caused by anti-semitism, which is still causing problems in the world today. “They felt that Christians supported the Holocaust,” he said. “Boko Haram elements will flee from Christian territories if they know that Christians stand with Israel because they know that Israel has the wherewithal to end their reign”. “Christians need to rise and align with Jerusalem, pray for the Jews, go there for real pilgrimage not tourism, and Boko Haram will flee.” On why the military has not been able to end terrorism in the country, he alleged that “there is mixed multitude (fifth columnists) in the Nigerian army, hence rag-tag Boko Haram could sack a whole Battalion.” Pastor of Lifecause Church, Ilupeju, Lagos, Deepak Dhongde, who is an ISWI partner, noted that the human spirit was not extinguished, even in the Nazi death camps, hence he declared solidarity with the Jews. The Indian cleric stated: “Genocide is never an accident; it is deliberate, calculated, systematic and precisely executed. Urging Christians to hate crime, poverty, life-stealing addictions and the seven deadly sins, he charged them not to sit by and watch evil reign. “Evil triumphed, as evil always does, because good men and women stood by and did nothing,” he noted.
