A Kenyan lawyer (pictured) has sued The State of Israel in
the International Criminal Court of Justice (ICJ) for the “trial and
crucifixion of Jesus Christ,”. The lawyer claims Jesus’ killing was “unlawful”.
Dola Indidis says that Israel and the Jewish people should
be held legally liable for Jesus’ death. Indidis, who has taken his case to 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,” in the same case.
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.
What a case! over 2000 years ago.
