No he wasn’t. Jesus was not a Philistine.

He was from the tribe of Judah.

The “Palestinians” are Arabs who were brought to the region by the Ottoman empire as part of the Muslim occupation in the region. They are definitely not the tribes from Crete who settled down in the 5 cities of Gaza strip after the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. These tribes were called Philistines and they weren’t Arabs at all and today’s “Palestinians” are definitely not their descendants. The Philistines don’t exist as a nation.

I understood the it was Constantine who named the area Palestine in order to intentionally aggravate the Jews, seeing as it resembled the name Philistines. Being a new convert to Christianity, he (erroneously) considered the Jews enemies. Is it not actually the land of Judah?

[Telepathic Intruder]

Yes, and Arafat himself was Egyptian. Before Arabs living in what was then called Palestine started moving in, however, the name “Palestinian” was attributed mostly to Jews living there.

She celebrated islamic terrorists and the deaths of Americans, Europeans and Jews. This was her "cause". Therefore, we immortalize her with dishonor.

That very well could be...I only know that there never was a country or nation by that name...Only a region...Where the name came from, I don’t know...You probably know more about that than I...

According to Brother Dave Hunt (RIP) the Romans established a temple to Jupiter there - the Jews revolted (Bar-Kochba Revolt?). After the slaughter, the Romans renamed the area Syria-Palestini (sp).

I think this was the Bar-Kochba Revolt (sp) but I’d have to look it up.

How do we know what color his skin was? The Bible provides no description of Jesus’ physical appearance.

[Popman]

This type of crap used to bother me, but I finally realized these people are detached from reality...

It's actually sort of funny in a bizarre way...

[Angels27]

The gospels make it 100% clear...Jesus is a Jew, a decendent of David, King of Israel.

Sharpton is supposed to be a Christian Reverend and he spouts this nonsense?

All the grat historical figures were black. White men didn’t amount to a hill of beans historically. /s

Politicizing Jesus. Stay classy, libs.

It is hard to say what the Egyptians looked like. They were certainly not Negroes tho. We do know that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair.

Cleopatra was a direct descendant of Ptolemy who was one of Alexander the great’s generals. He was Macedonian and spoke Greek. Her ancestry is well known but she had one Grandparent who is unknown. The odds of her being Black must be no more than one in a million.

Actually the Bible does give a couple of clues.

First he must have looked ordinary as Judas had to identify him to the guards who arrested him. Second, his Mother was descended from King David who the Bible describes as of a fair complexion and is traditionally said to be red headed.
