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.
