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 have had the Europeans come and take their country,” Wright said, The Hill reported.
“The youth in Ferguson and the youth in Palestine have united together to remind us that the dots need to be connected,” Wright also said.
“And what Dr. King said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, has implications for us as we stand beside our Palestinian brothers and sisters, who have been done one of the most egregious injustices in the 20th and 21st centuries.”
The rally marked the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March, a mass gathering of black men spearheaded by Farrakhan, who has a long history of anti-Semitic remarks.
Wright, who retired in 2008 as pastor of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, which Obama attended from 1988 to 2008, also called Israel an apartheid state.
“Apartheid is going on in Palestine. As we sit here, there is an apartheid wall being built twice the size of the Berlin Wall in height, keeping Palestinians off of illegally occupied territories, where the Europeans have claimed that land as their own,” Wright said.
He concluded: “We are grateful to God to be able to be here and to speak a word on behalf of Palestinian justice. Palestinians are saying ‘Palestinian lives matter.’ We stand with you, we support you, we say God bless you.”
Farrakhan said at Saturday’s rally that blacks were too forgiving of their abusers.
“Find me a Jew who forgives Hitler,” the Nation of Islam leader said. “And they say they’re the children of God, and they don’t have no forgiveness in them.”

Nothing pisses off the jews more than the TRUTH! It is their Kryptonite.
“Jeremiah Wright, US President Barack Obama’s former pastor, called Israel an apartheid state and said “Jesus was a Palestinian” at a rally in Washington hosted by the Rev. Louis Farrakhan.”
Now that is interesting!
African-American Christians cooperating with African-American Muslims for the common good.
There’s a challenge for all other American Christians and Muslims.
Can you join with your African-American sisters and brothers to serve the common good of all gentiles?
An opportunity for Crescent and Cross.
Is that a sign of dawn after a long tormented night?
Rev. Wright is absolutely correct. Jesus was born in Palestine. He and his mother were Palestinians. Why does not the Pope also highlight this important points? The Christians of the world must be reminded of this continunously. The Europeans are mainly Christians, and they must also be told this so they know the Truth.
And the Jews murdered him too.
Rev. Wright is absolutely right! Preach it, bro. Jesus was the first Palestinian martyr.
The Jews say the Land of Palestine was given to them by God but they don’t even believe in God.
And Farrakhan “Has a long History of Anti-Semitic Remarks”????. I would say that Dr. Louis Farrakhan has a long History Of Telling the Truth.
Rev. Wright just tells the truth and I am happy that many people are following him and Farrakhan now, and many people are opening their eyes.
