 File under: Muslim Brotherhood 

#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.

#2 What else would the weak-minded do if not fighting over mythological context?

#3 Maybe check that genealogy in Matthew chapter 1 (right smack dab at the beginning of the New Testament) again...

#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?

#6 Very interesting article, TW. I'm always curious about early human migrations and the rather abrupt changes that took place in the Near East 2 - 6 years ago.

#7 I always thought the paleostinians were a mixture of Ammonites Not the extinct marine mollusc, although one could confuse the too, both sumbitches dig in deep and Moabites.

#8 Local Christian Faiths, such as those of Ethiopia or Southern India, describe Jesus of Nazareth as looking like the locals in wall murals... *Shrug*

#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...

#17 Jesus was from the House of David. Jewish bottom line.

#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.
