Sharpton Guest: Jesus was a “brown-skinned Palestinian man who understood he needed to resist”

Jesus: social justice warrior? Apparently so, if you believe Jacqui Lewis, senior minister of the very liberal Middle Collegiate Church in NYC. During her appearance on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show this morning, Lewis described Jesus as a “brown-skinned Palestinian man who understood he needed to resist.”

The notion that Jesus was Palestinian has been thoroughly debunked. He was Jewish, after all. But that hasn’t stopped anti-Semites like Barack Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, from also making the claim.

Sharpton guest portrays Jesus as a social justice warrior.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

I thought he was a black African.

There were no Palestinians until 1948.

This shake down continues. These people are filled with hatred and never stop.

Nobles who gave their land to peasants got their heads cut off because welfare was not the goal but politics of who is going to get acclaimed.

This is similar to what Obama’s church of 20 years believed. They said he was a poor black man oppressed by rich white Jews. I would bet none of these people ever opened a Bible.

[Dutch Boy]

Does Rev Al even own a bible?

We have learned so much in the last few decades.

Cleopatra was Black. One of the wise men from the East somehow was Black. Ramses the Great was Black. It goes on and on.

Not the Son of God?

This particular lie was used by islamic terrorist Yasser Arafat way back. Don't know if he invented it or just repeated it, but he certainly lived it to the maiming and deaths of many. And he loved him some foolish leftist useful idiot tool of a "martyr" in Rachel Corrie.

Resist what? Satan?

[EinNYC]

This woman is a fountain of fabrication, whose message is only fit for absolute fools. I can say I’m 7 feet tall—doesn’t make it so. Now she’s trying to co-opt Christianity. What’s that gonna lead to? Trying to shake down the PLO for some “reparation money”? Lady, toilets are the appropriate receptacles for your idiotic spew.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Prior to 1948, Jews were known as Palestinians. Arafat decided to call himself one and the media followed him, redefining the term.

First, “Palestine” did not exist as the reference to a territorial place until after the Bar Koba revolt in the 2nd Century, AD.
Second, Jesus did not “resist”. He said that if He asked the Father would send him many legions of angels; but Jesus went to His death unresisting and stood silent before His accusers.

I wonder what “Jesus” she is yapping about.

The Gospels say this (Matthew 12):

18 
“Here is my servant whom I have chosen,
    the one I love, in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
    and he will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 
He will not quarrel or cry out;
    no one will hear his voice in the streets.
20 
A bruised reed he will not break,
    and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out,
till he has brought justice through to victory.
21 
    In his name the nations will put their hope.”

Hmmm.....

He will not quarrel or cry out;
    no one will hear his voice in the streets.

Not any resisting or protesting going on here.

Right...In fact, there has NEVER been a country or nation known as Palestine...

Palestine is a “region”...Same as what we call “Appalachia”...

[JBW1949]

Actually, Palestinians are made up of people from Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia...
They had moved into the “region” known as Palestine and called themselves Palestinians...

[ichabod1]

Heard she was thinner than Karen Carpenter.

[JBW1949]

I thought Cleopatra was Egyptian??? They are brown or olive skinned, aren’t they???

[Jimmy The Snake]

Funny. It thought he was Jewish.
