Israeli officials reacted with bitter scorn to a Christmas message from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in which he called Jesus a Palestinian and suggested Israel was to blame for the exodus of Christians from the Holy Land.
“He should have read the Gospel before uttering such offensive nonsense, but we will forgive him because he doesn’t know what he’s doing,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told The Times of Israel on Monday. Abbas’s statement is an “outrageous rewriting of Christian history,” according to Palmor.
Earlier on Monday, Abbas published a lengthy Christmas greeting, calling Jesus “a Palestinian messenger who would become a guiding light for millions around the world.” Although he expressed his commitment to the peace negotiations with Israel, he expressed harsh criticism of Israeli policies, including an accusation that Jerusalem is responsible for the plight of Christians in the Holy Land. …

Jesus a palestinian? I must have missed the part
where he donkey bombed the Temple.
Jesus was a Jew.
Tribe of David on His mother’s side, and tribe of David on His adopted Dad’s side.
Muslim Palestinians and Jewish Hebrews arguing over who can ethnically claim Jesus Christ. You’ve gotta laugh.
Although Abbas needs to read up on his history. Jesus was Hebrew.
Well, the tribe’s name is Judah, but yes, both Mary and Joseph were of the line of David.
Jesus was not of this earth. Period.
Brought to you by the same people who tell you the lie that Jesus is a Socialist (He never said the the government is the highest authority and they should forcibly steal from those that earn at the point of a gun and redistribute their earnings).
Same people who bring you the lie of evolution, global warming and other non-Science to promote Satan's agenda.
Especially since there is no such thing as a Palestinian, and there never was.
More cultural (in this case religious) appropriation.
Well, that”s not true, according to God’s word, the Bible. He was born, a very real human being, on this earth. At the same time, he is also the Son of God, having been here before anything was created.
Next, they’ll be telling us that Cleopatra was African-American.
Especially since there is no such thing as a Palestinian, and there never was.
Didn't the Romans coin that moniker in 20 BC? They were the conquerors, so they could name it anything they wanted to. So, anyone born there after them naming the area, Palestine is a "Palestinian," right?
Your thoughts...?

Ah!.. Jesus was a Jew.. and everybody knows in Isreal
were Jews and Romans..... ZERO palestinians.. NO muslims..
actually Mohammad didnt even exist until abut 600A.D...
Sooo there could NOT have been any muslims..
Where THEN did the so-called palestinains COME FROM?..
Obvously.... the surrounding areas.. there were and aren’t any Palestinians..
...but He was (is) still a Jew.
> Well, the tribe’s name is Judah
Duh, sorry.
Yes you are 100% correct, which means that Jesus was the quintessential Jew, because the word “Jew” comes from the tribe of Juda.
Thank-you Israel!
Um.........Mr. Abbas, you forget that Jesus’s mother Mary was Jewish so Jesus was BTW, JEWISH.
Jesus was a Jew - and white.
Haven been to Israel recently, he was probably more swarthy than you think.
White, but certainly not remotely northern European.
Logic won’t stop those that believe what the Koran says; that book even claimed that Abraham was a Muslim, after all.
