DHAKA: Jeremiah Wright, President Barack Obama’s former pastor, called Israel an apartheid state at a rally in Washington hosted by the Rev. Louis Farrakhan.

He further said ‘Jesus was a Palestinian’.

At an hours-long event Saturday on the National Mall titled ‘Justice or Else’, Wright said that African-Americans, Native Americans and Palestinians have suffered under the ‘three-headed demon’ of ‘racism, militarism and capitalism’.

‘The same issue is being fought today and has been fought since 1948, and historians are carried back to the 19th century … when the original people, the Palestinians — and please remember, Jesus was a Palestinian — the Palestinian people had the Europeans come and take their country,’ Wright said, The Hill reported, The Jerusalem Post says on Monday.
