By " the holy bible" Chidi is here referring to the so-called "New Testament" and quoting Jesus of Nazareth, that " No one lights a lamp and then hides it under somewhere ..etc
Somewhere else Jesus says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
That's what Israel is supposed to be : A light unto the nations
But instead of shining a light, what the whole world is witnessing is genocidal barbarity trying to extinguish the light , and about the barbarity, we will never agree:
Analysis | Netanyahu's Nine-minute Video Shows He Is Terrified and Will Stop at Nothing
"Netanyahu's statement carried all the unmistakable trademarks of his playbook: serial manipulation, lies, criminal messaging, and attempts to inflame his violent base. This performance marks a new and even more dangerous iteration of the threat he poses to Israeli democracy"

Jesus " You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
"Nobody lights a lamp and then puts it under a pot. He will put the lamp in a high place. Everybody who is in the house can then see the light from the lamp"-The holy bible.
