Linda Sarsour: 'Jesus Was Palestinian Of Nazareth', but DNA data says not possible
[Jpost] Activist Linda Sarsour
...the very connected Palestinian-American activist who, after the Jewish founders were forced out, became the face of the anti-Trump Pussy March, forcing it into a BDS mold because resisting Trump, she said, is a form of jihad. This hijab-wearing friend of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, mentored by Brooklyn imam Siraj Wahhaj (unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing) and the American Muslim Brotherhood system, has cousins in the higher reaches of Hamas. She was named a Champion of Change by President Obama in 2012...
tweeted on Saturday that "Jesus was Paleostinian of Nazareth and is described in the Koran as being brown copper skinned with wooly hair."

Many including Yair Netanyahu were quick to bash Sarsour for her tweet.

"Are you that stupid? On the cross above Jesus’ head was the sign ’INRI’ ‐ ’Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm,’" the prime minister’s son replied, "Which means in Latin ‐ Jesus of Nazareth king of the Jews! The Bible say that Jesus was born and raised in Judea!"

Many twitter users pointed out that Jesus was Jewish, to which Sarsour rejoined that the two were not mutually exclusive.

"Paleostinian is a nationality not a religion," Sarsour wrote. "Your point is not negated. Jews lived with Paleostinians in peaceful co-existence before there was a state of Israel."

Sarsour insisted that what she said was true, explaining that after being reported on Twitter, the social media site did not remove her comments.

"Folks reported my tweet that Jesus was a Paleostinian. Twitter was obviously like, this doesn’t violate our standards. It’s also true. Jesus was born in Bethlehem which is in Paleostine. Move on."

She then proceeded to get political adding, "Why so upset by the truth. Jesus was born in Bethlehem... Bethlehem is in Paleostine. It’s currently militarily occupied by Israel and home to a predominately beautiful Paleostinian Christian community. Yes, the birthplace of Jesus is under military occupation."

This is not the first time this claim has been made by a political persona. Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
has been quoted saying that Jesus was a Paleostinian, rather than a Judean. In 2014, during an annual Christmas message, he said, "We celebrate the birth of Jesus, a Paleostinian messenger of love, justice and peace, which has guided millions from the moment that his message came out from a small grotto in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago."

Sarsour tweet echoed one by Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
, who retweeted in April a New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

op-ed by Eric V. Copage, which claimed that "Jesus, born in Bethlehem, was most likely a Paleostinian man with dark skin."

Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center believes that the idea of calling Jesus Paleostinian is part of rebranding a new narrative for Paleostinian history.

"For people who have no theological or historical rooting, the idea that Jesus was a Paleostinian creates a new narrative for Paleostinian history, which otherwise does not date back very far," Cooper told The Jerusalem Post to explain why Omar retweeted the Times article earlier in the year. "If one can say that Jesus was Paleostinian 2,000 years ago, then that means the Jews are occupying Paleostinian land."

Netanyahu: Archaeology, DNA Prove Palestinians Not Native To Land Of Israel
Linda Sarsour, science denier.
[Jpost] On Sunday, Netanyahu tweeted that, "A new study of DNA recovered from an ancient Philistine site in the Israeli city of Ashkelon confirms what we know from the Bible ‐ that the origin of the Philistines is in southern Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
," quoting research released last week by the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon, which revealed that the ancient people most known for their biblical conflict with the Israelites were immigrants colonists to the region in the 12th century BCE.

"For 30 years, we excavated at Ashkelon, uncovering Canaanites, early Philistines and later Philistines ‐ and now we can begin to understand the story that these bones tell," said Daniel M. Master, director of the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon, who headed the excavations.

The team used state-of-the-art DNA technologies on ancient bone samples unearthed during the excavation from 1985-2016. Analyzing for the first time genome-wide data retrieved from people who lived in Ashkelon during the Bronze and Iron ages (around 3,600 to 2,800 years ago), the team found that a substantial proportion of their ancestry was derived from a European population. This European-derived ancestry was introduced into Ashkelon around the time of the Philistines’ estimated arrival in the 12th century BCE.

"The Bible mentions a place called Caphtor, which is probably modern-day Crete," Netanyahu continued in a follow up tweet. "There’s no connection between the ancient Philistines & the modern Paleostinians, whose ancestors came from the Arabian Peninsula to the Land of Israel thousands of years later."

According to the Book of Joshua, the land of the Philistines was in the southwestern Levant comprising the five city-states of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron and Gath, from Wadi Gaza in the south to the Yarkon River in the north. It was from this designation that the whole of the country was later called Paleostine by the Greeks.

"The Paleostinians’ connection to the Land of Israel is nothing compared to the 4,000-year connection that the Jewish people have with the land," Netanyahu concluded.

#1 There are people in this world who'd like to believe he was from the Bronx and the sermon on the mount was given with a boombox on his shoulder.

Some even believe he was a colleague of L Ron Hubbard's in the inter-galactic Abstract Truth Consortium.

Some go the length of imagining him riding flying horses with Mochmed Yupp, him. and coming to slay... uhh Christians.

#4 History is not my strong suit, but I think Jews and assorted heathens lived together in what the Romans ruled as "Palestine". Six or seven hundred years later, the area was invaded and the heathens instructed to 'convert or die'. Jews were tolerated as 'people of the book'. Those heathens that converted became Palestinian Arabs. That'd be two or three thousand years after the Jews came to the region.

Howmidoin' sofar?

#9 The Romans considered any non-Roman citizen living in their Levant territories to be 'Palestinian', so that included the Greeks, Turks, Hebrews, Phoenicians, Egyptians and Persians.

#10 magpie, I had the misfortune of witnessing a Catholic procession of Malayalis (Kerala natives), featuring a tall, dark brown, crazy ugly Jesus with bug-eyes and hairy pot belly. It was a crucifixion tableau, and the guy was so heavy they couldn't possibly ask him to 'hang tight' like the Filipinos do, so he was standing on a round pedestal affixed to the 'cross' itself.

It was something that would make you wish for a blasphemy law. Ridiculous.

#14 I’d always thought Jesus was an Arabic Jew. That other Arabic Jews became Jews, Christians, and later Muslims.

So what? His beliefs are far from those of Muslims.

#15 As I understand it, Jesus was born into the Herodian kingdom of Judea, a Roman client state since they’d been invited in to settle a Hasmonean (the Maccabee family) civil war in 63 BC. After Herod’s death, his kingdom, which extended into Syria, Lebanon, and east across the Jordan, was divided among his remaining unmurdered children, being Judea (including Samaria and Idumea), Galilee plus Perea (cis-Jordan), and some other bits. See map here. Eventually it all was directly ruled by Rome as Judea, incorporating the Galilee and some other bits. It was only after the third Jewish-Roman war, the Bar Kochba revolt (132-135 AD) that Emperor Hadrian renamed the province Syria Palaestina after the Philistines, to erase the Jewish connection. The invading Arab Muslims retained the designation, as did the League of Nations when they named the British Mandate there.

After the Minoan eruption, the Philistines founded the cities of Gaza, Ashdod, and Ashkelon along the Mediterranean coast, and the now lost cities of Ekron and Gath inland. They disappeared as a people after being conquered by Babylon, but as Bibi points out, genetic studies published just this year reveal they were originally from southern Europe.

So there is no way that Jesus was either a Philistine or any kind of Palestinian.

Mohammed was not a Jew, but an Arab pagan turned monotheist using garbled versions of Jewish and Christian bible stories to provide a respectable deep history for his brand new faith. He originally anticipated converting the local Jews to his new revelation, then turned vicious when they rejected him.

Modern Palestinians are a mixture of all sorts of peoples who immigrated to the area over the millennia, including latterly Arabs and sub-Saharan African slaves; Ammonites and Moabites would certainly be included. In the West Bank they are a mix of Syrians, Jordanians, and locals, while in Gaza they are mostly locals plus Egyptians, the “foreigners” having come to work for the Jews since the beginning of the 20th century, then got caught in the movement of borders over the years. To be legally considered a Palestinian, the person or ancestor had to have been on the land for at least three years before 1948.

#16 And a teacher once taught me that Philistines were of European descent. 'From the North', he said. And that Goliath of the six fingers, great height and sudden demise, was some sort of EU import. So he was right. But he knew this just by revelation. Wow...

#18 "Bethlehem is in Paleostine. It’s currently militarily occupied by Israel and home to a predominately beautiful Paleostinian Christian community."
When visited Israel in 2011, we went to a Christian art store in Bethlehem. They have no signs or advertising. They have an armored door. Yeah - they are tolerated - for the moment- probably because they bring in money from the tourists. It is beautiful, but they are under siege. Not from the Israeli army, though.
