Una Don Hear Dis One? Kenyan Lawyer Sues Israel For Killing Jesus

The state of Israel is being sued by a Kenyan lawyer
in the International Criminal Court of Justice
(ICJ) for the “trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ,”
which the lawyer claims was “unlawful,” according
to regional media reports.

Kenyan lawyer Dola Indidis says that Israel and
the Jewish people should be held legally liable for
Jesus’s death, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Indidis, who has taken his case the ICJ in The
Hague, is also suing Tiberius, the emperor of Rome
in 42 BCE, “Pontius Pilate, a selection of Jewish
elders, King Herod, the Republic of Italy, and the
State of Israel,” according to the Post.
Indidis is using the Bible as his primary piece of
evidence against Israel.

“Evidence today is on record in the Bible, and you
cannot discredit the Bible,” Indidis was quoted as
saying by the Kenyan Citizen News.

Indidis further “insists that the government for
whom they acted can and should still be held
responsible,” the Post reported.
Indidis, who reportedly is a former spokesman of
the Kenyan Judiciary, insists that he has a “duty to
uphold the dignity of Jesus.”

“I filed the case because it’s my duty to uphold the
dignity of Jesus and I have gone to the ICJ to seek
justice for the man from Nazareth,” Indidis was
quoted as saying. “His selective and malicious
prosecution violated his human rights through
judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and
prejudice.”

Indidis further maintains that Jesus was not given
a proper say during his trial and that his resulting
punishment was unfairly carried out.
“I am suing as a friend [of Jesus],” he was quoted
as saying.

When asked about the case, an ICJ official is
reported to have said, “It is not even theoretically
possible for us to consider this case,” according to
the Post.
