Quotes by Maurice Lindsay  (?)

“Prior to the building of the Suez Canal in the mid 1800’s, Israel was always considered as being a part of Africa, because it shared the same border as Egypt (the Land of Ham). But after the canal was built, they start calling Israel and the continents surrounding it – the Middle East. Consequently, when people think of the Middle East today, the thought of black people being the original inhabitants of Israel (Canaan) does not cross their mind. Instead, what crosses their mind is a picture of the European Jews wearing black top hats and long beards. This explains why our people think the bible is a “white man’s” book, because all of the people who claim to be the chosen people of God today are white.”
Maurice Lindsay, Wake Up To Your True Identity: Revealing The Biblical Nationality Of The So-Called African Americans

“The theory of Israel being a separate continent from Africa comes from the building of the Suez Canal, a sea level waterway that divides Israel (and the other Middle Eastern countries) from the border of Africa.”
