Why open Embassy with murderies,we don’t need them.
There are no benefits in having relationship with a bloody thirsty country. Just look at what they are doing to the Palestinians. Inhuman and the worst barbaric actions in recent times. Never seen such cruelty before. Everyone is distancing themselves from them. Dr Kaunda chased these guys and we bring them back, for what?
Every hour, under Putin’s regime, Russia is taking the lives of unarmed Ukrainian citizens. Yet, he is revered for his stance against NATO. He is considered a hero because the lives of Ukrainians he is slaughtering are deemed less significant than those of Palestinians.
Who was responsible for the killings, rapes, and abductions of Israelis on October 7? Israel is engaged in conflict with the Palestinian people, but it is the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah that are the true adversaries. Currently, they are misappropriating food aid and placing the blame on Israel. The billions donated to the Palestinians have been utilized to construct tunnels and acquire Iranian weaponry aimed at exterminating Jews.
Dr. Kaunda expelled the Israelis, and look at the consequences? I doubt you were even born at that time, or if you were, you were still in diapers. Inquire with those who were present. The construction of the University of Zambia was left unfinished because we expelled them, and it now resembles a bombed-out structure in Ukraine. When Chiluba assumed the presidency, the first action he took was to re-establish diplomatic relations w
There can be two wrongs here.
Mass starvation of children, taking land belonging to Palestinians for decades and forcing them to live in an open air prison is inhumane. Hamas, by the way, was being paid by Qatar with Israeli funds to ensure division and no credible authority. Spare of this Zionist BS. What kind of human being are you?
I repeat
Every hour Russia under Putin is killing unarmed Ukrainian citizens. yet he is canonised because he is anti-NATO. He is a hero because the Ukrainians lives, he is slaughtering on an hourly basis are less human than the Palestinian ones. Is it? Human life is the same.
On October 7, 2023, more than 1,000 Hamas militants stormed into southern Israel and went on a killing spree, murdering 1,200 men, women and children and abducting another 250 people to take back to Gaza. Israel is NOT fighting Palestinians people but terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah. Right now, they are stealing food aid and blaming Israel. Billions donated to the Palestinians was used to build tunnels and procure Iranian weapons to kill the Jews.
Dr. Kaunda chased the Israelis and look at what happened? I don’t think you were even born or if you were, you were still nappies. Ask those who were around. University of Zambia construction was not completed because we chased them and look how it appears like a bombed structure in Ukraine. Chiluba the first thing he did when he became President was to restore diplomatic relationship with Israel.
I congratulate the Zambian government for opening the Israeli Embassy in Zambia.
Are Ukrainians or Jewish lives worthless than Palestinian lives in God’s eyes? NO! True a wrong is a wrong .
