As global conversations about the Middle East continue to evolve, it is important particularly for Africans to approach these issues with clarity, context, and compassion.
Here are some facts that challenge common assumptions about Iran and Israel:
Iran is not an Arab country. It is predominantly Persian, and the main language spoken is Farsi, not Arabic.
Israel is not a Christian nation. It is a Jewish state, where the dominant religion is Judaism, not Christianity.
Both Islam and Christianity are minority religions in Israel with Muslims making up a larger portion than Christians.
Iran has a larger Christian population than Israel, despite being an Islamic Republic.
There are more Arabs in Israel than Christians.
Preaching Christianity is more accessible in countries like the UK than in Israel.
Iran is the leading Shia Muslim nation, frequently differing from Sunni Islam, which is led by countries like Saudi Arabia.
These facts are not about taking sides but about promoting informed, balanced perspectives.
If your support for either Israel or Iran is solely based on religious affiliation, rather than questions of international law, human rights, and justice, then it may be time to reconsider.
