As the holiday season approaches, a recurring debate has resurfaced on social media regarding the historical identity of Jesus. Several Twitter users have addressed claims made by anti-Israel activists who assert that 'Jesus was Palestinian.' These users refute the claim by emphasizing that Jesus was, in fact, a Jew born in Judea over 2,000 years ago. The discussion has been further fueled by an incident in Boston where a Nativity Scene was vandalized with the phrase 'Jesus was a Palestinian.' This debate coincides with the upcoming celebration of Christmas, where over 2 billion Christians around the world will commemorate the birth of Jesus. Some commentators find it contradictory that while billions of people, including millions of Americans, celebrate Jesus, a Jew from Bethlehem, there remains disbelief regarding the historical Jewish presence in the region prior to 1948, despite the fact that Jesus was a Jew born in Israel.
I want to make sure everyone is on the same page here…. Billions of people world wide and millions of Americans will celebrate the birth of a #Jew born in #Israel over 2,000 years ago, but believe Jews didn't live there before 1948 and have no claim to the land now. #Christmas
Billions of people will soon celebrate the birthday of a Jew born in Judea over 2,000 years ago, but believe Jews didn't live there before 1948 🤔 https://t.co/rDAsOPn6n9
This weekend, over 2 billion people around the world will celebrate a holiday dedicated to Jesus, a Jew born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago, but still don’t believe that Jews lived there before 1948. Make it make sense.
Jesus was Palestinian. He was a member of the DNC, voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary, his pronouns were they/them and he had a Twitter account with a hammer and sickle in his bio. Given all his anachronistic traits, it's lucky he probably didn't exist. Merry Christmas!

Every holiday season, the anti-Israel activist work overtime with their made up history falsely claiming “Jesus was Palestinian”. Let’s settle this once and for all: NO, Jesus was not Palestinian, in fact he was born Jewish in Judea. No amount of historical revisionism can… https://t.co/XXYwp88PHZ
