Chidi,
Please!
You know how it is with "The Religion of Peace" and that's why Adepoju doesn't deserve an answer.
The New Israeli Government leadership says that they aim at improving the lot of all Israeli citizens, in all areas (education, health, access to justice) and that includes the Arab-Israelis – that's why the Ra' am Party also known as the United Arab List is in coalition with the current ( New) Israeli government which came into being yesterday after narrowly defeating Brer Netanyahu & Co by a Knesset vote that was only 59 to 60. A very slim majority of exactly ONE vote. So it's tough days ahead for the partners of the ideologically diverse new Israel government that has been cobbled together when you have Benjamin Netanyahu as leader of the Opposition. Lets lean back and watch Israeli Democracy at work...
Seriously, do you think that the new Israeli leadership is like that of our President Buhari in his fight against e.g. Boko Haram?
One difference in approach could be based on the fact that Brother Buhari thinks that the members of Boko Haram are also flesh and blood members of his own people, and, of course, believing in the One Nigeria and the "one country and one people", the very words he used to wind off his last big address to the nation, then we should take it as fore-granted that to some extent this is what he thinks and feels about all Nigerians, including the various insurgents, not to mention his blood brethren, the Fulani Herdsmen.
Secondly, with regard to Boko Haram's intentions, to raise the flag of the Caliphate over all of Nigeria, I daresay that deep down, President Buhari is in essential sympathy with the idea and if this could be achieved in a peaceful manner, President Buhari would not be wholly adverse to the total Islamization of Nigeria, it's just the terrorisation method of "by any means necessary" that he's opposed to.
Thirdly, as I told you earlier, "the Prophet Moses was eighty years old when he led the children of Israel out of Egypt", whereas, comparatively speaking, the "Biafran Nationalists" / Igbo-Nigerians may believe themselves to be uncomfortably and unequally yoked, being lumped/ welded together with diverse others in Egypt (Nigeria) and would like to be led by their own Moses, out of bondage, except for the fact that you are, geographically speaking already in your own Holy Land, it's just that you cannot declare complete sovereignty and territorial integrity over all of it, over all of Eastern Nigeria's Igbo majority states within the Federal Nigeria territorial system, its system of Government. You would like to be able to choose your own president and run your own country, etc. etc. etc.
Of course, the freedom, liberation, independence to be attained does not have to be merely political, regional, territorial, administrative, more significantly I would suppose that it would also be spiritual, psychological, perhaps so that you are motivated to give of your very best and to exert yourself to the fullest when investing in the future and in that in which you believe in...
You ask, if "peace would reign in the middle East because Netanyahu is no more Prime Minister of Israel... what if tomorrow, the thugs start throwing bangers from Gaza into Israel?"
Chidi, please!
If you could take a looka here, you would know that that's the kind of question that you don't need to ask. If Iran has the good sense of not throwing any of their most advanced bangers at Israel because some-ones' ess would be grass / toast, so too in the name of self-preservation even the Hamas leadership and jihadist field commanders are all mentally equipped to understand that the new Israeli government is not going to renege on their election promises and that they therefore should not test the resolve of Brer Bennett and Brer Gantz by firing any of their weakest firecrackers at any Israeli civilian, industrial or military targets.
Bennet himself has said that he intends to "decimate" Hamas, and there are more extreme religious Zionists who even use the term "exterminate" - with Amalek in mind.
Hamas ought to know all this, better than we do. I fear for Hamas.
Search for Hamas, here in Memri and you will find the answers to your question.
I hope that they will amend article seven and article eleven of the Hamas Charter.
I foresee that within the next four years Gaza will be turned over to Egypt – to be administered by Egypt – as was the case before the 1967 War // Six-Day-War, when Gaza was being administered by Egypt and the so called "West Bank" was being administered by Jordan. As you know, more than half of Jordan's current population is Palestinian, From that point of view, some argue that the Palestinians already had a state: Jordan. However, somehow after 1967, Egypt and Jordan would like to wash their hands off taking such responsibilities for the Pals...
Please, you don't have to take my word for it: For some balance about all of the above, you could consult with the Palestinian media
