    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support my colleague, both in the profession of law and in the profession of politics, particularly in respect to the Statement that he has brought to this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we remain silent as part of humanity is being treated unjustly, then we become complicit in that injustice. As individuals, as a nation and as institutions, we must come together and say no to the kind of injustice that is visited on the Palestinians and any other region of the world. I am sure the international community have always been at hand particularly when as Kenyans have had the pans or the pains of injustice. During the colonial era, we had support from beyond our borders. We should not forget that even right here at home, we could suffer injustice. Therefore, it is my prayer that every person who gets a platform, every institution that has a voice must add to condemnation of corrupt and unjust practices that are being visited on Palestinians. Lastly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you talk to people that are being mistreated for being sympathetic to terrorism, these people are freedom fighters. This is because they do not find a conventional avenue to ventilate their injustice. They have to look at different methods of struggle like the Mau and all other freedom fighters. Before the Palestinians become terroristic in their response, it is better to draw them out and to draw the Israelites out, so that this matter is discussed and resolved amicably. Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support this Statement."
