Followers of Muslim sect leader Elzazaky burning Israeli flag in Nigeria
The Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations (UN), Gilad Erdan, last week, reported the Nigerian Muslims whom he said killed 200 Christians on Christmas Eve to United Nations Security Council Meeting.
Gilad, while speaking at the United Nations Security Council Meeting on January 12, raised discussions about the killings in Jos, Plateau State, saying the killings in Nigeria should be given priority. He further urged the UN not to only focus on the Israel-Hamas war, but also to other conflicts worldwide including the killing of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria.
In a video showing him speaking at the UN meeting, which he shared on X via @giladerdan1 on Saturday, Gilad said, “On Christmas (eve), 200 Nigerian Christians were murdered by Muslims (in Plateau)” and “over the past decade, 50,000 Christians in Nigeria” have been killed. “Is this even a concern of the council?” He queried, saying, “Again, no Jews, No News.”
Gilad’s post on X that accompanied the video further read, “No Jews, no news! What a disgrace. The Security Council convened for the 21st time in order to aid Gaza and pressure Israel. Meanwhile, Pakistan is expelling more than a million Afghans, and over the past decade, 50,000 Christians have been (killed) in Nigeria. But the council hasn’t met once to focus on and address these crises. Why? Because if Israel can’t be bashed, the UN couldn’t care less! Disgraceful!”
Meanwhile, some communities in Plateau State have vowed to resort to self defence if the killings and destruction of properties by armed bandits continue.
