On Badmus, Adamu and Israel on trial, a rejoinder

On Badmus, Adamu and Israel on trial, a rejoinder
Dear Editor,
Permit me a space in your widely read newspaper to talk to Mr Badmus Kura on the above subject. Thank you.
Dear Mr Badmus,
I don't know why I am writing you, but that is the way of our world. Sometimes the argument is amusing. Why should we interfere in a situation where blood brothers are involved. But are we really mere on-lookers? Mr Badmus we are not. That is why Adamu was talking and you responded and prompted me to talk. You talk because you felt Israel has an affinity to you in one way or the other. You are happy when Palestinians are being massacred by Israel, because you feel as a Christian you are more closer to Israelites than the Palestinians. We as Muslims we feel more closer to Palestinians than Israelites because they are Muslims despite the fact quite a significant number of them are Christians. We are happy when a bomb drops and kills and Israelite. That is the way of the world. It will continue like that till dooms day.
But as human beings we have to be sincere to ourselves that our argument has to be partially objective and also take into cognizance that the people of Palestine even though they are not as human beings as the Israelites (anyway according to the new world order), they deserve our pity, at least. And I think that is what is prompting most of these debates. The land was given to Israelites by God according to the scriptures, but the same scritures told us that the Israelites refused the land and told Moses to go and fight the occupants of that land alone. It was last century that the British carved the present Israel to the Jews after they were massacred by Hitler and since then you know what happened.
