By Femi Fani-Kayode On May 14, 1948, the day the British Mandate expired, the new Jewish state, known as the State of Israel, was formally established in parts of what was known as the British Mandate for Palestine. With the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Jewish independence was restored after 2,000 years. This was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. After they suffered 2000 years of hardship and turmoil, God honored His word to the sons of David, gathered them together, gave them back the land of their forefathers and restored them again. I congratulate the Jewish people on the 73rd anniversary of the establishment of the Jewish State. Permit me to touch on the events that are unfolding in Gaza today. I deplore the killing of civilians, particularly children, but the State of Isreal reserves the inalienable right to defend itself. The Hamas-controlled Gaza strip provoked the situation it has found itself in and deserves the robust and aggressive response that it is getting. On its own part the Fatah-controlled West Bank will get worse if it …
