A debate has emerged on social media regarding the ethnicity of Jesus, with some asserting that he was Palestinian, while others argue that he was Jewish. The discussion has sparked controversy, with various individuals and public figures expressing contrasting views. The controversy has also drawn attention to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its historical context, including the Roman occupation of Judea and the subsequent renaming of the region to Palestine. The debate has led to criticism of public figures, including US Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, for drawing parallels between Jesus and the Palestinians, which has been perceived by some as invoking the historic charge that the Jews killed Jesus. The discussion reflects the complex and contentious nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its intersection with religious and historical narratives.
"Why can't Jesus be Palestinian?" Simple, he was a Jew living in Judea. 100 yrs later, Judea was renamed Syria-Palestina by the Romans to erase the land's Jewish identity. 2,000 years later, anti-Israel activists like Amer Zahr are still trying to erase the land's Jewish identity https://t.co/7DaTO1lRmK
Seen on another platform. Odd isn't it? For 2,000 years Jews were slaughtered for "killing Christ," while according to the Palestine Cult it's all been a case of mistaken identity! https://t.co/Yl7PoCurql
I've been hearing "Jesus was a Palestinian" for years, but it's become popular during this war, as the war has taken place over Christmas. Anyway here is the truth. No, Jesus was not Palestinian. Or Israeli. He was a rabbi from Judea, a Jew living under Roman colonial rule.
love that we’ve entered “actually, Jesus was a Jewish son of God” phase of Israeli propaganda https://t.co/Y79HEZbSLK
When we say Jesus is Palestinian, Zionists say, “No way! He was a Jew!” Of course he was. But why can a Jew be Hungarian, Yemeni, Polish, Iraqi, Ukrainian, Russian, Syrian, Tunisian, American… but not Palestinian? Simple. Because Zionism seeks to erase Palestinian identity.

Of course Jesus would NOT survive the night if he returns to the place of his birth (which is now West Bank). Because he was a Jew and West Bank Palestinians have vowed to kill all Jews. https://t.co/kMaclpeKJ1
Jesus was born in the Roman province of Judea. He wasn’t Israeli or Palestinian. He WAS Jewish. Now why did you name your shitty political program after a group of Turkish nationalists that slaughtered 1.5 million Armenians? https://t.co/BIQWojoD5z
I am really enjoying all of these rtrds claiming jesus as a “Palestinian” to whine about the horrible war Hamas brought upon the modern Palestinian people.
Literally the only section of the Bible where Jesus sounds remotely Jewish. https://t.co/zzkz4iKxQl
☀️The Romans invaded and occupied Judea, then enslaved and scattered us. They renamed Judea "Syria Palaestina", in an attempt to erase our identity. ☀️Our faith was appropriated and mixed with others to create a state religion worshipping a Jew, yet cynically teaching hatred of… https://t.co/O414Oqbc8z

Since Jesus was a Jew, who lived a century before Roman occupiers renamed the land Palestine to erase Jewish identity, he would’ve technically been a Judean. Now, some 2000 years later, you’re continuing the same legacy of Jewish erasure as foreign occupiers… very telling. https://t.co/UECE7A2qE2
Critics blasted New York Rep. @AOC for a #Christmas message comparing Jesus to the #Palestinians, with at least one saying it invoked the historic charge that the Jews killed Jesus. https://t.co/duN258G7yr
Since Jesus is from Bethlehem, he's technically a Palestinian. Remember that the next time you hear a death toll from the Palestinian territories. If Jesus returns to the place of his birth, could he survive the night? Or would he be just another Palestinian casualty?
.@FrEdwardBeck: Jesus was a Jew (Palestine was an insult for the Jews invented by the Romans...) Israel wasn’t an occupied territory. (It had a Jewish king called Herod.) Mary and Joseph weren’t “homeless“ the census taking meant the inns were full with travelers How can… https://t.co/uMxWjJfIu3

Jews: settled in Israel > 3,000 years ago. Palestinians: identity created a little > 100 years ago as part of British propaganda effort to destabilize Ottoman Empire. Explain to me again why Israeli Jews are the settler-colonialists? https://t.co/Se54hcuGdw

Dear @johncusack - Jesus was born and died a Jew. To compare Jesus to the #Hamas mass murderers, rapists, and hostage-takers desecrates everything Jesus stood for. John - there is good and evil in the world. You have inverted the truth and perverted the legacy of faith, humanity,… https://t.co/spQMdTfS6k
The "Jesus wasn't white" crowd hasn't spent much time around Middle East Christians. Here's the Nativity Scene at a Church in modern Bethlehem. Jesus is just as white in an Arab Christian household as he is in a Southern Baptist one. These people have a kind of sickness. https://t.co/mT7eeyukbP
Palestinian logic: 1. Jesus was Palestinian 2. There were no Jews there before 1948 3. Jews killed Jesus 🤔
