A friendly reminder to those who every Christmas claim "Jesus was Palestinian":
If Jesus was a Palestinian then all Jews are Palestinians.
QUESTION: What was the sacred language Jesus used when he read from the Hebrew prophets in the SYNAGOGUE? What holidays did he and his family celebrate? To what nation did Jesus belong? Jesus was a Jew and an Israeli. Jesus was not an Arab Muhammedan 'Muslim'. And Jesus most certainly was not a Hamas-loving Palestinian. If Jesus was alive today, the Palestinian establishment would seek to brutally butcher him far more grotesquely than the Romans did. If Jesus were alive today, the international community would riot against him and sympathetize with his murderers because he committed the terrible sin of being a Jew born in the 'West Bank', who has the audacity to be a Jew living in the Jewish homeland -- the Land of Israel, which includes Judea, the so-called 'West Bank'.
If Jesus was a Palestinian then to be Palestinian means to be Jewish, to value the Hebrew language, the words of the Hebrew prophets, to recognize that the Land of Israel is the Land of Israel (Matthew 2:20-21) and Bethlehem is in Judea (Matthew 2:6), not the 'West Bank'. If Jesus was a Palestinian, then to be Palestinian means to celebrate the holidays of Israel. And most importantly, if Jesus was a Palestinian then to be a Palestinian means to be willing to die to save your people, the People of ISRAEL -- to voluntarily risk giving up your life to save your people, not by butchering innocent people, but by proclaiming timeless truths and living by those truths, for the sake of goodness and truth, even if the ignorant and the wicked desire to kill you for it. What does it matter if you gain the whole world, but lose your soul? And what does it matter if you call yourself Palestinian, yet you despise and seek to destroy everything that is authentic and indigenous to the Land? And that Land is the Land of Israel. Ahm Yisra'el hhai, weloheh Yisra'el hhai w-qaiyám. The People of Israel live! And the God of Israel lives eternally 🕎
