On the contrary, nadhani he meant it. Maana alisema mara mbili, sio mara moja! mara ya kwanza alisema sio muhimu, na mara ya pili akasema hawezi kuapologize, he has more important matter to attend to! alafu kumbuka Tanzania has condemned Israel actions in Gaza in the past...
Not only Tanzania has condemned Israel actions in Gaza, but it has also argued at the highest level for the state of Palestine. In his remarks when addressing the 66th United Nations General Assembly, United Nations, New York, on September 22, 2011, President Kikwete said this with emphasis added in red:
"We believed at independence, as we believe now and always, that all human beings are equal and deserve equal pursuit and protection of their civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights as outlined in what has come to be known as the International Bill of Rights. It is in this spirit that I wish to reaffirm our solidarity with the Palestinian people in their rightful quest for an independent homeland. Our plea is for the fulfilment of the vision of two states: The State of Israel and a sovereign, independent, democratic and viable Palestine, living side‐by‐side in peace and harmony. That is why we also remain in full solidarity with the people of Cuba in demanding the end to all embargos against them. The people in these two countries have suffered far too long, it is time their burdens are eased from their shoulders."
Kwa staili hii usitegemee kuwa "ally" wa Israel.
