Yesterday, Muslim leaders in politics and religion urged the government to sever its ties with Israel.
The leaders have voiced their support for Palestinians under siege and they have proposed activities to showcase their solidarity. Their specific demands include the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador and the recall of the Kenyan ambassador to Israel in a move to condemn the killings in Gaza. Despite President William Ruto’s unyielding support for Israel, Members of Parliament Omar Mwinyi and Yusuf Hassan, former Mandera senator Billow Kerrow, and National Muslim Leaders Forum (Namlef) chairman Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi are urging the international community to provide assistance to trapped Palestinians without access to basic necessities.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas militants reached new heights on October 7 when the militants attacked the Israeli side of the Gaza Strip, resulting in over 1,300 recorded deaths. This event only heightened already-existing tensions between the two nations, exacerbating the issue and instigating Israel’s retaliatory bombings in Gaza. As a result, numerous Palestinian individuals have lost their lives. Taking account of these terrible occurrences, Mr Mwinyi has pledged to bring Parliament together for a motion on the ongoing situation in Palestine. An anonymous US spokesman has claimed that the United States is supporting the Israeli government, despite accusations of crimes against innocent civilians.
As tensions escalate, Israel has also halted the provision of essential resources such as food, water, and electricity to 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza, prompting leaders to condemn this action as oppressive. The spokesperson urged the international community to provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians. Sheikh Ahmed Othman, the Imam of Landhies Mosque, criticises Dr Ruto for aligning with Israel, arguing that this decision contradicts his supposed commitment to fighting for the oppressed.
Israelites are human beings…
Israelites are human beings too. Who started the whole thing? Who started the murderous attacks against innocent Israelis? Did they think about what would happen.
An occupying force are never…
An occupying force are never innocent. The European Jews who currently reside in Israel their supporters are the most munderous people to ever exist
Keep on dreaming. That will…
Keep on dreaming. That will never happen. Has is still shooting rockets into Israel, idk what Israel is supposed to do about that.
Hamas attacked Israel…
Hamas attacked Israel knowing very well what the outcome would be. Am not for occupying lands that do not belong to u as Israel does but Hamas does not make the situation better as now the innocent are dying, homes destroyed
Had the US not vetoed UN…
Had the US not vetoed UN Resolutions 242 & 338, the situation would have been very different from the way it is today.
Had King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella not expelled Jews from Spain in 1492, after they refused to become followers of a religion that is based on the late Son of Mariam, they would still be in Spain.
Had Adolf Hitler not started World War Two where he exterminated over 50 million people including 6 million Jews, the partition of Palestine would not have occurred and therefore, HAMAS would not have existed.
The following is my definition of a terrorist:
1. A person who comes in your land of ancestry uninvited and takes it by force.
2. A person who settles in your land and gives you his/her name, language, religion, and culture by force.
3. A person who forces you to follow his/her laws which are meant to oppress you physically and psychologically.
Using the above definition, the presence of the British in Kenya during the colonial days qualifies them as “Global Terrorists.”
@ Ndugu Suluhisho,yes the…
@ Ndugu Suluhisho,yes the British were terrorists.And yes if the descendants of Abraham had not escaped famine,and drought they would be In Israel/Caanan,which in those days encompassed west bank,and gaza.And if pharaoh,had not mistreated,and enslaved the Jews,they would be in Egypt…
If we take Israel as the promised land for the Jews,shouls we let them fulfill, that promise,and how?
The British,and the later the UN promised two state solution.It has not happened.So what is the solution?We collectively as human beings,and fellow occupiers of this earth,with its animals,minerals,and plants have to come up with “peaceful”solution.Otherwise these atrocities shall persist.Look at what human brain has ac0mplished in the last 100years.To some it has been miraculous.SO HOPEFULLY THE SAME BRAIN IS CAPABLE OF FINDING A SOLUTION FOR THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT,THAT IS WORKABLE.It’s about time.
Ndugu @ Maxiley:
You forgot…
Ndugu @ Maxiley:
You forgot to mention that the Jews land of ancestry was Babylon – which is present day Iraq. What kind of a “god” can promise illegal immigrants to go and occupy a land already owned and occupied by other people?
What kind of a god can authorize the enslavement of other people? Please read the Jewish religious Book in Leviticus 25: 44-46 in the Old Testament and Colossians 3: 23 in the New Testament.
What kind of a god can choose one nation above the entire world community and allow them to claim that they are “the gods chosen people?”
I would like to congratulate the people who had the knowledge and wisdom of writing their religious beliefs and unfortunately imposing it among those who did not write and document their religious faith. That’s why I feel sorry for the 5 billion people who have been hacked and mentally imprisoned (but still don’t know) by the Arab and Jewish religious philosophies and can’t use their “Critical Thinking Skills” to free themselves from the mental bondage of other peoples (Jews & Arabs) ancestry belief systems!
To answer your question,what…
To answer your question,what God is this what does what you mentioned,I would say he is not a God of mankind,if he is he is very biased.and should retract.How can he stay silent in the midst of all this chaos he caused, if he is a just God?
And yes,if we keep on going back to where the jews ancestral land is/was, we will never solve this puzzle.
My understanding is that Bantu people came from EGYPT. can you imagine Kikuyus,Luyhas…etc. claiming that Egypt is their ancestral land? WORSE,can you imagine if the Gikuyu gods had told their children that they should one day go back to their “land”-Egypt.Ans before Egypt where were they…? It would be a mess.How far back should we go?
For the sake of peace,Palestinians should accept the existence of Israel,and Israel should lift the blocked and both should learn to live like good neighbors,for their survival.
Samahani Ndugu, I meant…
Samahani Ndugu, I meant Colossians 3:22
I tip my hat to you …
I tip my hat to you Suluhisho. You have covered every salient point I could think of.
Please try to educate Ruto and company. Kenya is doomed. They just don’t get it.
@ M.kiratu,I totally agree…
@ M.kiratu,I totally agree with you.Hats off to Ndugu Suluhisho.He is un questionably an authority on this topic.I have tried to play the devil’s advocate,but I “cannot pin him down”Not that, that was my intent,but just to tie up the loose ends…I very much appreciate the scholarly,and objective manner he answers.That’s how we learn from each other.To learn,both the learned,and the learner should keep and open mind free of biases,and prejudices?@Ndugu Suluhisho.Asante sana for sharing your vast knowledge on this,and on many other topic you have had to ,on this forum.
You are a man of integrity.I have never read any insulting words directed toward any commentator,despite a few directed at you.You have the qualities,and attributes of a capable leader.You have my vote.And I approve your comments…mmm thus far.

@ Ndugu Maxiley and Ndugu @ M. Kiraitu:
Thanks a lot for your kind words about my posts in Mwakilishi. Ndugu @ Maxiley, likewise, I always look forward to reading what you post her.
As the Swahili people say, “Elimu Haina Mwisho.”
I have added some extra words to the same proverb by saying, “Elimu Haina Mwisho, uzito, wala mipaka.”
And I add that with…Mwanzo…
And I add that with…Mwanzo wa elimu ni mwisho wa Ujinga.
Ndugu @ Maxiley:
Hongera…
Ndugu @ Maxiley:
Hongera sana kwa kuchangia methali ya Kiswahili nzuri sana yenye busara, hekima, maarifa, na ujuzi mwingi:
“MWANZO WA ELIMU NI MWISHO WA UJINGA.”

Very interesting clip @ndugu…
Very interesting clip @ndugu Suluhisho.It is true that Christians would side with Christians,and Muslims with Muslims whenever their is a conflict,especially one with religious overtone.But I chance to say that chriatians are more forgiving,and tolerant than the Muslims.Can you Imagine a “Harvard University” in the Arab world siding with Israelis? I dont think all Arabs or muslims are for the elimination of the Jews,even if the koran tells them to …
Basically what I am saying is that,you hardly see a Christian killing a Muslim ,or a human being and proclaiming,”God is Great”,but you see it alot with muslims who kill even innocent people.
Unapomchoza kiumbe chochote…
Unapomchoza kiumbe chochote kile, kiwango cha kutumbukiza kidole finyu katika pua lake, unatarajia kipi, yapi au lipi? Ungekifanya hicho tulipokuwa vijana wavulana barubaru, mpukurushano na wimbi la vumbi iliwakumbika waliomo na wasiokuwemo.
Ukweli bayana ni kwamba, tangu elfu lela ulela, Hamas na wengi wa Wapalestina ni maharamia na majangiri sio wa kutetea haki wanazozidai, lakini wa kuzusha utata na kusheherekea kuua halaini. Unapochokora amani kupitia uvamizi wa eneo la kwangu, mbona miye nisijilinde na chochote nilicho nacho? Hawa wanaoyatoa madai haya potovu
ni baadhi tu ya Mashifta wanaowafadhiri Al-Shabaab nchini Kenya.
La, kujiuliza ujijibu ni, mbona tangu kale, dhuluma kwa Wayahudi ilishuhudiwa katika pembe zote za dunia? Ukweli ni kwamba Wayahudi niwajuwao maeneo ya Pikesville, Randastown ikiwemo Columbia, Maryland:
a). Sio watu wema.
b). Ni sembule ya viumbe vinavyojipenda sana.
c). Ni viumbe vinavyowachukia binadamu wengine hasa wenye ngozi nyeusi.
d). Hao hupenda kukaa eneo/maeneo lao/yao wenyewe, bila kuchanganyana na wengine.
e). Shule zao kuanzia za msingi hadi vyuoni husomewa tu na watoto wa Kiyahudi pekee.
f). Majengo na vituo vyote vya kuwatunza na kuwatumikia Wayahudi wakongwe na wakuukuu vinawahusisha tu wao wao.
g). Ni watu wenye kiburi, ubaguzi, kinyongo na watu wa kuwasimanga, kuwapunja na kuwadunisha wengine.
h). Wote ni matajiri wa kupindukia na waanzilishi wa makampuni makubwa uyaonayo hapa Marekani.
i). Hao ndio walio wengi na msemo mkubwa katika bunge la kitaifa, Congress.
j). Wao ndio huwafadhiri Waisraeli kwa fedha na vyombo vya kivita wanapozozana na Wapalestina na Waarabu.
k). Wao huoana wao wenyewe, na nilipokatiwa na kidosho wao mle kazini, nilipelekwa katika kampuni lingine lao katika jimbo la Dakota Kaskazini. Alichokiona kwa bikira MjuAji sielewi! Ningali naye.
l). Ni watu wa zogo, wachochezi, domo kaya, na hutetea tu maswala yanayowahusu.
m). Wakati dunia nzima inapofuata Ukristo ulioanzishwa na Myahudi mwenye asili ya Kiyahudi, wao wanafuata ndini yao, huku wakimdhihaki na kuwadhihaki wafuanzi wa mwana wao.
Ni tabia hizi zao za kutatanisha ndizo zilizomfanya Hitler na wengineo kuwakandamiza, kuwamaliza, kuwahamisha, na kuwatimbua kokote, popote na momote.
Comrades,
Let’s think about…
Comrades,
Let’s think about the colonization of Africa.
Mau mau did what they had to do to get the British out. And across Africa masses died until common sense kicked in.
Even in the Bible, Barnabas wasn’t a thief as they want us to believe, he was a freedom fighter trying to kick the Roman empire out.
So what’s the difference here?
Can’t cut ties btw Jews and…
Can’t cut ties btw Jews and Christians. Judaism is the foundation of Christianity. It’s like saying cut family ties. What will you stand on after? Gentiles were crafted into the olive tree. The land is Israels, actually God’s land where Jews lived before exile
