Middle-East analyst commends Christian nations for speaking up for Palestinians
The head of the Palestinian Community in Nigeria and Middle-East analyst, Abu Ibrahim Ramzy, has accused Israel of being not only an enemy to Muslims but also a threat to Christians, internally and worldwide, warning that the Zionist ideology does not recognise the existence of Palestinians, regardless of faith.
Speaking during a Monday interview with Neptune Prime in Abuja, Ramzy stressed that radical Zionists “do not differentiate whether you’re a Muslim or a Christian,” describing their agenda as one that denies Palestinians any right to live on the land.
“They are enemies of humanity,” Ramzy said, adding that the oppression in Palestine is a struggle against a political ideology, not just a religious conflict.
Ramzy lamented that the global Muslim population, with large numbers, offers too little to aid Palestine.

He said, “Look at the 2 billion Muslims on Earth, they’re doing nothing. Who is rising today? It is the Christians. You see Australia, London, Holland and all other Christian nations, because they have human feelings.”
The Palestinian analyst did not hold back in criticising leaders of Arab nations, blaming them for being complicit. According to him, their fear of political collapse drives their inaction, “The Arab leaders? They don’t want Israel to be defeated. Because if the Israelis are being defeated today, they’re not going to be in their seat on the second day. Because they are spies for the Americans and Israelis.”
Turning his attention to Egypt, Ramzy sharply contrasted the current President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s policies with those of former President Mohamed Morsi, who, he claimed, once halted an Israeli assault on Gaza with a single phone call to former U.S President Barack Obama.
Ramzy criticised that under Sisi, Palestinians seeking refuge in Egypt are exploited, “Not only about food, but concerning the people who ran away from Gaza, he took $5,000 for each head. 130,000 people are in Egypt without a residence.

“If he catches you without a dollar, he deports you from Egypt. He treats them like they are foreigners, who must have enough money.”
Ramzy highlighted that a hefty number of Palestinians are Christians, with deep historical roots in the region, highlighting the long-standing history of Christianity in Palestine, “We have 27% of Palestinians who are Christians. And even in Gaza, we have up to 5,000. We have the oldest church that was built over 1,400 years ago in Gaza, and the oldest hospital, which was built about 1,300 years ago.”
On the struggle for Palestinian liberation, he added that, “The Christians live amongst us. We don’t differentiate. Some of them went to prison like us. Some of them are members of different parties of the Palestinian Freedom Fighters.”
He stressed that Israel targets Christians even more than Muslims, and he rejected the notion that Israel represents Christian values, insisting that the Zionist ideology rejects both Moses and Jesus.

“People think the Israelis are Christians, while they are Zionists, this country of today, the so-called Israel, is of Zionists.
“They do not even believe what Moses said to them. They don’t even accept Moses and his religion or Jesus and his religion, they call Mary a prostitute, and they torture the Christians more than the Muslims in Palestine. So we have to give this awareness to everyone.”
On correcting the views of those who support Israel, Ramzy alleged that biblical texts have been deliberately altered to foster pro-Israeli sentiment, calling on Christians to critically examine these claims and recognise the manipulation: “They wrote in the Bible for the Christians to start believing in these. But there is no single verse with origin from Jesus on that which says, ‘If you bless Israel. God will bless you. And those who do not bless Israel, God will not bless them.’ There is nothing like that. It’s just that they’re writing such things for people to start thinking like that.”
Ramzy concluded his interview by commending the unwavering support of the Palestinian cause by far-eastern countries like China and Russia, and also acknowledged the efforts of many African nations.
