Two state solution- when Solomon was building the temple, did he build it for jews or he built it to be taken from them later? In Nigeria, don’t christians and muslims live along? In Ghana isn’t the situation same? Why should Israel be an exception? Anyway this things are meant to be but the rebuilding of the third temple will take place and nothing can stop it, not UN, not ISIS, not Iran, not Hamas or Hezbollah. Neither can anyone annihilate the jews, remember every nation that tries disintegrates because God’s word remains sure.
“I will bless those who bless Israel”

What is a more human right issue than the right to identity. My challenge with his past is despite its deceptive nature, it is far more selective. But the most serious issue is the attempt to make it a religious issue, which it is not. i believe he is trying to exploit our high religiosity to support their narrative. No one disagrees that jews have entitlement to temple mount or the wailing wall and some part of Jerusalem. no one is disputing Christians right to the holly sepulcher and neither do anyone deny Muslims claims to al-Aqsa or the dome of the rock. I am not sure these claims justifies evicting people out their homes, collective punishment and the type apartheid occupation in the Palestine. At least pursue the two-state solution and abide by the un resolutions on the peace process, Though both sides and the hypocrisy of the UN system are responsible for the lack of progress with Palestinians and arabs not having a united leadership and a coherent demands on the table and Israel’s belligerence on settlements in the west bank and the blockage of gaza. But in such a dispute, i should think the stronger party do carry the highest proportion of the blame.

Africa and pan-African leaders have a long history of supporting the liberation movements of the Palestinian people, struggling against years of psychological and militaristic oppression on the part of the Israeli government. I hope that we can appreciate the religious context while continuing to denounce the imprisonment, abuse and murder of Palestinian men, women and children living under occupation. I am proud to live in an Accra with banners that read “End the Occupation”.

Also the historical context of this map is incredibly distorted. Props to an ambassador who clearly knows how to produce effective propaganda.

We don’t need the spinning of historical or spiritual text to teach us these basic values of humanity. Not long a go, your government supported the apartheid of our brothers in South Africa and your patrons of the west commoditized black people, subjugated us, pillaged and plundered our natural wealth, so there is a lot of blame to go around if we look back, but we chose to look forward, forgive the past and promote peace and unity among the community of nations with the promise of global citizenship and solidarity. We chose to move away from populist, isolationist, racist, and protectionist walls to keep out those who don’t look, think and believe like us. Bring these values to the table and we will work tirelessly to help build a better world with peace, love and respect for all of us and our children

God bless Ghana?
Which God?
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
The God of ISRAEL?
