Rabbi blasts Ilhan Omar, NYT for pushing claim Jesus was ‘Palestinian,’ not Jewish
Fox News ^ | April 24, 2019 | Caleb Parke

A Jewish rabbi is calling out a Muslim lawmaker -- who has been accused of anti-Semitism -- and the New York Times for pushing the notion that Jesus was a Palestinian.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate and director of Global Social Action Agenda at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, called out Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. after she retweeted a tweet from Omar Suleiman, an adjunct professor of Islamic Studies at Southern Methodist University, who said a Palestinian relative asked him why the "Christian right in America largely supports their oppression."

Muslims are into denying Jewish links to the Holy Land. To claim Jesus was a "Palestinian" is wrong from a religious and historical viewpoint. There was no such thing as a Palestinian at the time of Jesus. Looking at the scriptures and historical documents people talk about Jews, Samaritans, and other groups living their but no body is described as a "Palestinian". The Romans after the 2nd Jewish Revolt in the 2nd century AD renamed the area Palaestina to wipe out the traditional Jewish names of the region, for example, Judah. The term Palaestina comes from Philistines. So the Romans renamed the region after the ancient enemy of Israel.

Read the first chapter of Matthew. It traces Christ’s lineage back to King David. I believe King David was jewish.

Let's see - Sharia Law, oppression of women, beating women, FGM, suicide bombers, taqqiya, lying and obfuscation, slavery. Let's see, what else can we think up that suggests that the importation of a dogma that is antithetical to our Constitution, common law and western values. No I cannot imagine why anyone would oppose a cult of murder and oppression.

King David was unquestionably Jewish. And he fought against the Philistines.

No possibility of Jesus being “Palestinian” even if the “Palestinians” were really descended from historical Philistines, which they are absolutely not.

Jesus said “Salvation is of the Jews”. Usual thing for a ‘Palestinian’ to say. There is no such thing as the modern-day Palestinian anyway. They are refugees from surrounding countries. Mostly Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon. Yasser Arafat was an Egyptian. They’re an invented people with no country of their own, now or any time in the past.

No such thing as a Palestinian until Arafat and made up the term. Prior to that, there were Palestinian Jews, and Palestinian Arabs. Palestine was historically a province, not a state. There has never been a people who simply call themselves Palestinians.

A Jew and a Muslim fighting over who has the stronger claim to Jesus Christ.

The Rabbi “was a bit surprised that a congressperson would retweet false information”. I find it hard to believe that a Rabbi is not aware that a muslim who manged to get elected to a high office would not use the opportunity to spread muslim lies. That was the whole intent in the first place. One of the main objectives of the muslim push to take over countries is to convince people that they are not taking over countries.

The map is not the territory. When your map of reality does not correspond to actual reality, it causes problems and is not useful. A belief that does not meet these criteria of reality-based and usefulness needs changing, updating, and deleting. There are techniques for doing that.

Our Congress cannot take many more Omars. People like her will destroy our government and help destroy our society.

As before. I post this and feel free to copy it:

There was an Israeli state in the land of Israel 2000 years before the evil prophet of Islam allegedly flying on a "magical horse" from Mecca to Jerusalem.

I will accept that Christ was born a Palestinian, even though it has never existed, just as soon as the liberals accept that an estimated 3 million illegals voted in the 2016 election and with liberal assistance. One of these isn’t possible. But the other is a sure thing.

I have often wondered why Muslims must face a ‘place’ when they ‘pray’. When I pray I know that my God is in Heaven and I at times will look skyward in prayer but mostly just close my eyes and pray with the certain knowledge that He hears me.
