How to tell “Jesus was a Palestinian” is an anti-Semitic
canard.
Ignoring the obvious, that Jesus was a Jew there are very
simple ways to tell that anyone who utters this is a moron, or an anti-Semite
(or my gene-sister, but I repeat myself).
When talking about the centuries of persecution of the Copts,
“Jesus was a Copt” was never uttered.
When the Yazidi were being
wiped out by the governments of Syria and Iraq, “Jesus was a Yazidi” was never
uttered.
When the Christians in Nigeria
were slaughtered, the Vatican didn’t say, “Jesus was a Christian.”
With the ongoing detention, torture and enslavement of the Uyghurs
in China, the
ELCA didn’t say, “Jesus was a Uyghur.”
When the Armenians were forced
to flee their homes from the invasion of the Azerbaijani army, no one said, “Jesus
was an Armenian.”
Yet when Israel defends itself. When they respond to the actions of Hamas,
who killed more Jews in one day than the Nazis could manage in a day with their
death camps. Suddenly, the lie that “Jesus was a Palestinian” flows from lips
in an attempt to erase and justify 75 years of terrorism and murder.
On this day, the day before we celebrate the birth of our
saviour, remember that Christ is King, he will come again. And the son of G_d was a Jew.
