A debate has erupted over claims made by a Catholic priest, Father Edward Beck, on CNN that Jesus was a Palestinian Jew born into an occupied land. This assertion has sparked controversy, with many arguing that Jesus was a Jew living in Judea under Roman rule, and that the term 'Palestine' did not exist during his time. The debate has drawn widespread attention and criticism, with some accusing the narrative of being ahistorical and politically motivated. The assertion has led to a heated discussion on social media, with various individuals and media outlets expressing divergent views on the matter.

Another disingenuous argument from Taleb. He knows that what people mean by "Jesus was Palestinian" is that the modern Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Jews, which makes us modern Jews charlatans, fakes and interlopers. He disregards the Jewish exile by the Romans and… https://t.co/LDqEcEFpUv
Saying Jesus was Palestinian is like saying Pocahontas was a citizen of the Confederate States of America
"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
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.
Jesus was Palestinian they say https://t.co/nqIsFZMAHZ
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
Palestinian logic: 1. Jesus was Palestinian 2. There were no Jews there before 1948 3. Jews killed Jesus 🤔
Palestinians killed Jesus, if he was a Palestinian. Makes a lot of sense. https://t.co/SWzUaIOgOf

If you still haven’t grasped the depth of deceit in the Palestinian narrative, the whole ‘Jesus was Palestinian.” is here to remind you how ridiculous these people are and how truth plays zero role in their false narratives. I mean; there are different levels of lies. I’m not… https://t.co/jOmxhSTluQ
🧵A short visual thread: It’s rather ridiculous that this ahistorical myth of Jesus being Palestinian even exists and needs to be debunked, but here we are. For two thousand years not a single person claimed Jesus was Palestinian but somehow in 2020s Jesus became one… https://t.co/9zc2Uo2qJT
Was Jesus Palestinian (in today's terms)? Let's ignore anachronisms. Genetic distance of current population from ancient residents of Roman Palestine. (Karaites & Kurdish are tiny populations in the Holy Land). h/t @MiroCyo More TK https://t.co/Yn47geYRz0
If Jesus was a Jew born in Palestine, does that make him a settler coloniser?
Father Edward Beck referred to Jesus as a 'Palestinian Jew' who was being persecuted from the day he was born, and sparked a HUGE debate. More details here 👉 https://t.co/5SkJWf32pE https://t.co/9m7UzaG9j0
🚨PRIEST CLAIMS JESUS WAS 'PALESTINIAN JEW': BACKLASH ERUPTS Father Edward Beck stirs controversy on Christmas, asserting Jesus was a "Palestinian Jew" born into an occupied country. Source: NY post https://t.co/O2RNyOa9Mn
Right around Christmas, some always try to “appropriate” Jesus as a Palestinian refugee. They turn their memes into false, antisemitic tropes. Jesus was actually a Jewish rabbi. And surely he would not have supported Hamas brutally kidnapping babies, women and the elderly,…
Jesus was not a Palestinian. To say such a thing is to try to erase Jewish history, to erase Jewish ties to the land. “Palestine” didn’t exist when Jesus was alive. Jesus was a Jew. A proud, observant Jew. He was a Jew born in Israel under Roman occupation. Merry Christmas.
Instead of putting aside politics for a day and wishing people a Merry Christmas, I have seen multiple commentators, in an attempt at rewriting history, insist that Jesus was born a Palestinian refugee in the West Bank. It is ahistorical and anachronistic to characterize…
I’m no expert @CNN, but Jesus could not have been a “Palestinian Jew” because the term “Palestine” was introduced by the Romans some years after his death. Jesus lived in Judea. To retrospectively call him “Palestinian” suggests a political agenda https://t.co/kEud02PnyO
This "Jesus was a Palestinian" thing is going to drive me up a wall. The part of the world Nazareth is in has been known as Palestine for 1900 years, but in Jesus's time it was the Roman province of Judaea.

Jesus wasn't Palestinian. He was a Jew. AOC casting Jesus, Mary and Joseph as Palestinian is incredibly gross. Today's Palestinians would have killed baby Jesus, kidnapped and raped Mary, and slaughtered Joseph. Simply for being JEWS.
CNN NOW FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMS THAT JESUS WAS NOT JEWISH BUT A PALESTINIAN. I have appeared with Father Edward Beck on National TV before. This is a disgraceful interview which is the very essence of fake news. JESUS was not a Palestinian as Palestine did not exist at that time.… https://t.co/Zi6ghc6zep
According to @cnn, Turns out Jesus was a Palestinian whose mother was persecuted by the state of Israel. He wasn’t a Jew, who was killed by the Romans. Rather, he was a Palestinian Arab whom the Jews persecuted and, for good measure, tried to murder his mom. I’ve debated this… https://t.co/LxKoNygqZI
Zionists are trying to appropriate Jesus now claiming that he was Jewish, which is obviously illogical. At that time, Jews were still living in Europe and had not yet set foot in Palestine. Jesus was a proud Muslim, and the Jews killed him only because he was Palestinian
REPEAT AFTER ME 🔈 ➡️ Jesus. Was. NOT. Palestinian ⬅️ #Jesus was born a Jew in Judea of Bethlehem. The word ‘Palestine’ was not even in existence then! This whole Jesus was Palestinian nonsense is simply historical revision rolled out every time at Easter & #Christmas.
NEW: CNN guest Father Edward Beck says Christmas is a story about a “Palestinian Jew.” Clown News Network strikes again. “The story of Christmas is about a Palestinian Jew. Now, how often do you find those words put together?” “A Palestinian Jew born into a time when his… https://t.co/WWI7U5RLtx
