The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has referred to the legacy of Jesus Christ as “a young Palestinian who rebelled against the domination of the Roman empire.”
In his statements, Maduro has highlighted the importance of the history of Palestine and has called for unity among Christians, Muslims and Jews in support of compliance with United Nations resolutions.
“Jesus Christ was the first anti-imperialist in modern history. Jesus was a young Palestinian. When he was crucified by the Spanish empire and the oligarchies that dominated the area, he died as a Palestinian man, he was resurrected as a Palestinian spirit,” says Maduro.
The Venezuelan president, who identifies himself as a practicing Christian, has located the birthplace of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, Palestine and has recalled that at that historical moment it was the birthplace of Jesus.
The video of Maduro’s statements has quickly gone viral on social networks, and nothing he says is true.
First of all, Jesus Christ was born in Judea and not in Bethlehem. Palestine did not exist at that time either politically or geographically. Furthermore, the area was under the rule of the Roman Empire. On the other hand, he was not crucified by the Spanish empire, since it was formed in the 15th century and Jesus was crucified in the 1st century AD.
