Jesus was not Palestinian, the Uniting Church of Australia said after an umbrella Jewish group objected to a news story that called Palestinians "the living descendants of Christ."
The saga began when two Palestinian Arab members of the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, which has links with the Uniting Church of Australia, wrote a story that appeared last Tuesday in the leftist political publication New Matilda.
The article, which was penned by Samah Sabawi and Bassam Dally, stated: "An official delegation representing our country in Israel has added fuel to the flames of extremism abroad by applauding proven human rights violators and insulting the living descendants of Christ in his home of birth in Palestine." ...

uhhh......House of David, anybody? All of those Jews in the Bible who begat and begat and begat and begat?
Only an illiterate moron would believe he was Palestinian.
“Only an illiterate moron would believe he was Palestinian.
Which precisely describes the vast majority of Muslims.
What?? He didn't have any earthly children.
It was the Romans after the Jewish Revolts who renamed the area Palestine to wipe out the regions Jewish roots.
JMHO but aren't we ALL living descendants of Christ?
Palestinian is a geographical place name. Palestinians are a group of people from different countries - Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya - who live in that geographical area. ‘Palestinian’ is not a race!
Only muslims are
a) dumb enough to imagine they belong to a race and,
b) dumb enough to imagine the rest of us believe they are a race.
In no particular order, the following thoughts come to mind about this utter CRAP:
1. I thought that Jesus had no descendants.
2. There were no “Palestinians” until Rome destroyed Israel in the Bar Kockba (i.e. JEWISH) revolt of circa 135 C.E., and they were mostly Jews (i.e. the population of the country/province of Rome at that time).
3. There weren’t even any “Palestinians” in the modern era until after the founding of Israel. The headline in the main Jerusalem paper in May, 1948 about the State of Israel being declared appeared in the “Palestinian Post,” which was a Jewish-owned paper, written by Jews for a Jewish audience. All the rest of the Arabs in the area were referred to as...drumroll...ARABS.
4. Jesus was a Jew, not an Arab.
5. Much of the so-called “Palestinian” population of today is descended from Moslem immigrants from southeastern Europe (which the Moslem Ottoman Turkish empire controlled until 1917), or from what became Syria, or from Egypt.
From all the best evidence, he did not have any children. His blood relatives were Jewish. And those he considered spiritually related are those who do the will of his father in heaven...and I just am not sure murdering Jews with unprovoked violence qualifies.
God gave Abraham the land of Israel. All of it. It was handed down to his son of Promise, Isaac, not Ishmael. Arabs know this full well. They’ve known it since Ishmael learned to talk.
The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians are at complete enmity with God. It’s not their land and they won’t be able to keep it.
Take note also that the Arabs calling themselves “Palestinian” use the name “Al-Filestina” in their own language (literally “the Philistines”, who were Canaanites and not Ishmaelite).
They’re fine with the Koranic/Hadithic false narrative of Abraham being told to sacrifice Ishmael instead of Isaac though, as well as the phony story of Abraham helping Ishmael erect the Kaaba in Mecca.
No, we are all descendants of Adam, but other lines besides David’s line branched off.
Jesus is the worlds MOST FAMOUS JEW.
He was born in Bethlehem , JUDEA .
There is NO WEST BANK , it’s JUDEA .
It doesn’t rightfully belong to nor has it ever belonged to arabs that today have hijacked the name palestinians.
Soon and very soon the land will vomit out these arab liars and thieves.
One of Jesus’ grandmama’s was a Caananite ho, and another was a Moabitess...so, technically, there IS some non-Jewish blood in Him.
Yes, I do know about Rahab and Ruth. But nobody from Ishmael’s line has any claim here.
True, true. I think the Arabs should all be transported to their ancestral homeland of Saudi Arabia...it has 10 times the land space, plus they’ll be guests of their wealthy Muslim brothers.
The term Palestine first shows up in Herodotus, writing in around 430 PNE. That the Persians were using the term for a portion of Syria (probably corresponding roughly to the area of ancient Philistia--it isn't clear how large the area embraced by the term was) probably indicates that earlier empires had employed a similar term since the Philistines had probably lost their distinctive identity by the fifth century.
The Arabic name is probably from the Greco-Roman name since Arabic doesn't have the P sound--thus "Boutros" is Arabic for "Petros."
The Arabs who call themselves Palestinians now are probably a mixture of all the peoples who have lived in the area over the millennia--Canaanites, Philistines, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, Turks, plus slaves brought in by various rulers. That they speak Arabic doesn't mean they are mostly descended from the Arabs of Arabia in the 7th century--a minority can impose a language (cf. Spanish in Mexico). There weren't that many people in Arabia in Mohammad's day and most of those who emigrated went to places like Iraq and Egypt.

Yeah, but a small number of people may well spread their DNA over a fair distance. Muslims are able to have more than one wife, after all, and that doesn’t include concubines.
