HAPPY CHRISTMAS! In these next few days billions of us around the world celebrate the birth of a Middle Eastern refugee who, 2,000 years ago, changed the course of the world forever.
Let me tell you some of his story.
This is just a short extract from near the beginning of the adventure. When Maryam, a young, poor, and no doubt terrified Palestinian girl, gives birth in a run-down animal pen, to a baby who was foretold for hundreds of years.
To many of us, it is undoubtedly: The Greatest Story Ever Told.

The Palestinians were invented around 1968
Mary, Joseph and Jesus fled to another part of the Roman territory. Hardly, refugees.
Cool method to erase Mary’s Jewish identity...
How can anyone he not know she was Jewish? /he's a proven idiot on the first question
I should also note the geographical area wasn’t called Palestine until more than 100 years after Jesus was born
I noticed far left liberals starting this poor Palestinian
mime several years ago, and like you say, it is not true, nor the poor part. Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh were all concentrated wealth and value.
he’s really hazy on the finer details because the Bible is not available in coloring book form.
Joseph was a carpenter, presumably a middle-class occupation as now.
Mary and Joesph were not refugees. At all. Nor were they poor.
They did not make travel arrangements very well.
It's not like they could hire an Airbnb, or make reservations at the inn over the inter webs.
I have a map of Palestine from 1840.
I imagine Palestinians were living there then.
If this idiot posted about Abraham Lincoln, it would look like this (h/t “I’m Gonna Get Ya Sucka”):
“Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in Illinois. This po’ white trash went on to become the President of the United States. Once in office, this white capitalist swine manipulated the freedom of the black man for his own political career ‘til another piece of po’ white trash shot him in the head. The end.”
Something you were told by an evangelical pastor no doubt. But I'm afraid that it isn't true. Herodotus referred to the region as "Palestine" in the fifth century B.C.
The story of the region's being named that only after the Romans finally put down the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 A.D. is true only insofar as the Romans formally adopted the "Palestine" label at that point in time. But the name itself had been coined and applied to the region several centuries before. It was not new to the Romans.
...they were on a government boondoggle to make it to Bethlehem for the Roman required the census before January.
According to Google AI, the decree went out on Monday December 18, 3 B.C.
There was officially the "Palestinian mohammedan" and the "Palestinian Jew", there was also the "Palestinian Christian" and probably the "Palestinian Something else". All of them under the Ottoman Empire.
There were no Palestinian language, Palestinian culture or Palestinian people. Palestinian was a modifier noun.
Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Palestinians.
Steaming pile of lib/progo bullshit.
Liars, like their Father.
LOL!
Pretty sure God finds that humurous...
Actually, Abe was born in a log cabin in KY, moved to a log cabin in Indiana then eventually ended up in the Land of Lincoln as a teenager.
Since we are traveling down the road of Contentious Equivocations it’s analogous to there being a place called Hawaii but, wasn’t formally adopted as a state until a certain date...
It wasn’t until the Roman’s forced the Israelites into the Diasporo and attempting to eradicate the memory of the Jewish Peoples existence that the area was “Formally” designated Palestine....
