[17th Miss Regt]

'In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents.'

Herod was in fact, Rome’s appointed indigenous compliant psychopathic low-born Jewish “kapo”, a stooge, as “King of the Jews” and ordered the massacre to preempt being unseated by a newly-born and prophesied King of the Jews

Meanwhile, the King of Palestine…er, leader of Palestine…errr

Wait, there wasn’t any. The Romans occupied subjugated and ruled…a Jewish kingdom, which they called “ Palestine” to humiliate and humble the Jewish state and its royal and priestly ruling families
