A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba, has said that some of the best humans on earth are from Israel, urging against the collective condemnation of Jews.
Garba made the remarks in a post on X on Wednesday while addressing religious and geopolitical narratives surrounding Israel and Iran amid the war in the Middle East.
He clarified that Islam does not condemn all Jews, but only those who have strayed from the right path, noting that similar deviations exist across other religions, including Islam and Christianity.
According to him, while there are individuals who fail to uphold justice and religious laws, there are also many upright and exemplary people among them who deserve the right to life, liberty and peace like any other nation.
“No, not correct. Allah did not curse all of the jews, but some of them that have strayed from the true path, like he did to all other religions, Islam, Christianity etc.
“Among them, like among others are those who refuse to follow The Law (Torah) and uphold Justice (Talmud), the likes of Natanyahu, but among them too are very very excellent people. They have right to life, their liberties and peace, like every other nation.
“The Children of Israel are some of the best human on the surface of the earth. They contributed to so many great things, in several civilizations, through several centuries and dynasties. It is unfair to collectively condemn them,” he said.
Garba cited a verse from the Qur’an, Surah Ali Imran (3:113), to support his position that not all People of the Book are alike, noting that some are righteous and devoted.
He added that he is currently undertaking extensive research on the subject.
