On Sunday, a day before U.S. President Barak Obama is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., took part in a Chicago peace march calling for a just solution to the Israeli-PA conflict. Wright spoke and drew parallels between the situation in Israel and fighting apartheid in South Africa, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Also speaking at the march was William Ayers, who had a radical past as part of underground organizations, and later worked with Obama on school-reform issues. He spoke about the need to ask questions which would reveal the true reality of the Israeli-PA situation.
