According to the Premiere of New South Wales State, Christopher Mins,

62
00:03:58,639 –> 00:04:01,800
when members of the Jewish community in the Sydney City

63
00:04:01,879 –> 00:04:05,319
of Australia came out in large numbers on Day one

64
00:04:05,439 –> 00:04:09,960
to celebrate this year Harnaker Festival. This the Israeli government,

65
00:04:10,000 –> 00:04:13,280
through the video statements made by the Israeli Prime Minister

66
00:04:13,759 –> 00:04:17,439
Benjamin Lettenyahoo during government meeting in Demona and when he

67
00:04:17,519 –> 00:04:21,240
lit the first Tarnaka candle in Israel later on Sunday,

68
00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:24,639
said there may be more terrorist attacks on the Jewish

69
00:04:24,720 –> 00:04:28,439
people because the Australia government is weak. We know there

70
00:04:28,439 –> 00:04:31,560
will be additional attacks. The safest place for the Jewish

71
00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:34,560
people in the world is where the government, the army

72
00:04:34,839 –> 00:04:39,399
and the security forces will defend them, saying on August seventeenth,

73
00:04:39,480 –> 00:04:42,480
twenty twenty five, he wrote a letter to the Prime

74
00:04:42,519 –> 00:04:45,959
Minister of Australia, wherein he said, your call for a

75
00:04:46,000 –> 00:04:50,600
Palestinian state pause fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards

76
00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:54,680
her mass terrorists, It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews,

77
00:04:54,720 –> 00:04:59,560
and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Antisemitism

78
00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:03,040
is a ca It spreads when leaders stay silent. It

79
00:05:03,120 –> 00:05:06,199
retreats when leaders act. I call upon you to replace

80
00:05:06,240 –> 00:05:11,000
weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, Prime Minister, you

81
00:05:11,120 –> 00:05:15,000
replaced weakness with weakness, and appeasement with more appeasement. Your

82
00:05:15,040 –> 00:05:19,240
government did nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism in Australia.

83
00:05:19,560 –> 00:05:22,160
You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were

84
00:05:22,160 –> 00:05:25,560
growing inside your country. You took no action. You let

85
00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:28,360
the disease spread, and the result is the horrific attacks

86
00:05:28,399 –> 00:05:31,759
on Jews we saw today. In a tweet posted through

87
00:05:31,839 –> 00:05:35,920

88

Australia Prime Minister Antony Albanese said, in moments like this,

89
00:05:41,360 –> 00:05:45,839
we must come together. Australia stands united against hatred and terror.

90
00:05:46,600 –> 00:05:50,959

Islamic State Group, adding that Navid first came to authorities

101
00:06:28,480 –> 00:06:32,560

102
00:06:32,680 –> 00:06:35,680
said an assessment was made that there was no indication

103
00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:39,199

113
00:07:10,079 –> 00:07:13,040

00:07:41,839 –> 00:07:45,199
the first day of the festival after Israel government had

123
00:07:49,279 –> 00:07:52,399
Rad Sad Whugh. Israel, through a statement issued by the

124
00:07:52,439 –> 00:07:55,800

00:10:51,600 –> 00:10:55,320
Benjamin of Fulfiller’s House Church to perfect an alleged fake

172
00:10:55,399 –> 00:10:58,720
miracle of raising a dead man back to life, an

173
00:10:58,720 –> 00:11:03,240
allegation of man simply identified as Apostle Wisdom made while

174
00:11:03,279 –> 00:11:08,120
speaking during an interview with Cartruth Media earlier in the year, which,

175
00:11:08,519 –> 00:11:12,720
according to Omile Saware, for Apostle Johnson’s Suleman to remove

176
00:11:12,799 –> 00:11:15,960
the names of the media that conducted the podcast interview

177
00:11:16,039 –> 00:11:18,559
and the person that made the statement. In the one

178
00:11:18,600 –> 00:11:22,639
billion nira’s lawsuit filed against him and Sahar Airporters News

179
00:11:22,679 –> 00:11:27,879
Media shows Apostle Johnson Suleman knows the speaker Apostle Wisdom

180
00:11:27,960 –> 00:11:31,879
was probably saying the truth. This, omi Yele Saware stated

181
00:11:31,919 –> 00:11:35,919
in reaction to the statement earlier made by Apostle Johnson

182
00:11:36,080 –> 00:11:41,120
Suleiman on his personal social media accounts on Saturday, accusing

183
00:11:41,159 –> 00:11:44,240
the founder of Sahara A reporters, omi Yele Saware of

184
00:11:44,320 –> 00:11:47,399
always trying to play the victim’s role that wants to

185
00:11:47,440 –> 00:11:52,039
be persecuted for fighting for Nigeria whenever a cases filed

186
00:11:52,039 –> 00:11:54,919
against him in the court of law for passing across

187
00:11:54,960 –> 00:11:59,320
false and misleading information to defame someone’s character, saying that

188
00:11:59,759 –> 00:12:02,840
forgiveness is predicated on the admission of guilt and one

189
00:12:02,840 –> 00:12:07,200
cannot forgive someone who has neither acknowledged wrongdoing nor shown remorse.

190
00:12:08,039 –> 00:12:12,120
In the podcast interview, Apostle Wisdom alleged that Apostle Benjamin,

191
00:12:12,159 –> 00:12:15,279
in conspiracy with some members of his church, hired a

192
00:12:15,320 –> 00:12:18,360
man from Enugu’s state and numbers of other persons who

193
00:12:18,399 –> 00:12:21,559
acted as neighbors and family members that brought the hired

194
00:12:21,600 –> 00:12:24,240
and paid man to the church program held in a

195
00:12:24,240 –> 00:12:28,519
Bonyie state as a dead man. According to the Apostle Wisdom,

196
00:12:28,720 –> 00:12:31,200
the hired man who pretended to be dead, was put

197
00:12:31,240 –> 00:12:34,440
inside a coffin and transported from Enugu to a Bonyie

198
00:12:34,440 –> 00:12:37,799
state with an ambulance. He said the coffin was not

199
00:12:37,840 –> 00:12:40,600
covered until the man was brought closer to the church

200
00:12:40,639 –> 00:12:44,840
to avoid him being killed out of suffocation. Apostle Wisdom

201
00:12:44,919 –> 00:12:47,559
said the initial plan was to inject the hired and

202
00:12:47,639 –> 00:12:51,440
paid man with an injection Apostle Johnson Suleman allegedly gave

203
00:12:51,519 –> 00:12:56,320
to Apostle Benjamin. Apostle Wisdom added that Apostle Benjamin refused

204
00:12:56,360 –> 00:12:58,759
to use the injection because he was afraid that the

205
00:12:58,799 –> 00:13:02,879
chemical substance may kill the hired and paid man. Hence,

206
00:13:03,240 –> 00:13:05,840
they decided to open the coffin until the time for

207
00:13:05,879 –> 00:13:09,240
the fake and staged miracle was to be conducted. To

208
00:13:09,360 –> 00:13:12,720
buttress his facts, Apostle Wisdom said, the man that was

209
00:13:12,759 –> 00:13:15,120
brought as if he was dead to the church program

210
00:13:15,279 –> 00:13:17,840
was sweating because the few minutes the man was covered

211
00:13:17,879 –> 00:13:20,720
inside the coffin, he suffered some level of heat that

212
00:13:20,840 –> 00:13:24,440
made his body start sweating. Sir Warey, in numbers of

213
00:13:24,480 –> 00:13:29,559
statements between Friday and Saturday, said, for your information, Apostle

214
00:13:29,639 –> 00:13:33,279
Johnson Suleman has sued me regarding the controversy surrounding his

215
00:13:33,320 –> 00:13:37,600
alleged support for individuals faking miracles during an interview conducted

216
00:13:37,639 –> 00:13:42,000
by car Truth. This lawsuit marks the second occasion Apostle

217
00:13:42,080 –> 00:13:46,240
Johnson’s suleman has taken legal action against me over contentious

218
00:13:46,279 –> 00:13:50,720
decisions made during his ministry, following a previous lawsuit concerning

219
00:13:50,759 –> 00:13:55,000
Stephanie Otobo that he later amended and removed Otobo. The

220
00:13:55,120 –> 00:13:58,480
case has been ongoing for approximately eight years and the

221
00:13:58,519 –> 00:14:02,559
most straightforward aspect to apparent unsafe nature of Nigeria was
