Iran Press/ Africa: Speaking in an exclusive interview with Iran Press correspondent in Abuja, Femi Fani Kayode also praised the Axis of Resistance, saying that Iran, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Iraqi PMF, and Houthi Ansarullah of Yemen should be called "Axis of Freedom."
"Axes of Resistance fighting to protect the whole of the Middle East. It is natural for people and entities to defend themselves and resist against evil. You are dealing with an ethnocentric state which is completely engaged in killing everybody around them. They killed a lot during al-Nakba. So, These people (Axis of Resistance) said enough is enough, and they stood up and said we will resist you. They are far more than that. It is an Axis of Freedom. These are the people trying their very best to ensure that freedom is foisted not just upon the Palestinians but the whole of the Middle East," he added.
Kayode continued: "That's what is going on there. People are saying enough is enough. Enough of the killing, enough of the butchery, enough of the genocide, enough of the holocaust, enough of the racism, enough of the establishment and actions of an apartheid state. They (Zionists) see Ashkenazi Jews, that's European Jews as being superior to everybody else. They are suppressing the Palestinians, the proper Jews of the land not those that came from far away. What the Axis of Resistance is doing is a noble thing."
"The Zionists are suppressing everybody including Christians and Muslims with horrible vision. An evil vision of the establishment of the greater Israel whose border starts with the borders of Egypt and goes towards the borders of Iran. Their interest is taking everything and everywhere in the Middle East. Resisting this (by Axis of Resistance) is such a noble thing. It's surely a noble thing. And I think that we should commend those who are resisting this evil. They have said no to this evil and no to genocide. We are solely behind those who say no to genocide," he added.
African Countries Should Break Diplomatic Ties With Israel
Iran Press: How do you think African countries will help to push Israel to stop the genocide?
Femi Fani Kayode: The first thing we need to do is to break diplomatic ties with Israel. I already have been saying that there is no gain in having diplomatic ties with the genocidal racist, apartheid state. We should have nothing to do with them. We should sever diplomatic relations with them. We should sever diplomatic links, sever business connections, and refuse to do business with them. We should refuse to even sit with them.
This is because Zionists do not have a place in their hearts for people of African heritage origin. Zionists deter Africans. Zionists deter Arabs. Zionists deter Christians, Zionists deter Muslims. Zionists deter everybody. The only thing that they love is money. They worship money and power. And they are people that ordinarily, no civilization should have dealing with. I am not talking about Jews, I am not anti-semitic.
There are many Jews all over the world who are against what the Zionist regime is doing. Africa can stand up, take the lead, and say no to Zionism. I am so happy with what President Bola Tinubu said when he went to Riyadh for the Arab-Islamic Summit. I am happy with the way he spoke on behalf of every single one of us. He said enough of the words, something needs to be done. This is not a matter of issuing statements.
It is time to go further, to resist what he called "the aggressions of Israel." And I am glad that the Prince of Saudi Arabia called it "genocide". I am glad that the Iranians were there in full force. I am glad that the whole global sounded.
