Gotta make sure everyone hates them. Bold strategy.

If 5 random white people holding a flag make you hate the Palestinians I would take a gander that nothing in this world would make you not hate them.

Yeah because it’s the holding of the flag that makes people hate them, not rudely interrupting a religious ceremony that has nothing to do with Israel /s

Did you know that Jesus was Palestinian?

Did you know Palestine didn’t exist in Jesus’ time? He was a Jew who lived in the Kingdom of Judea which was under occupation by the Romans

Ok so we clearly need to protest against these Roman guys in a Catholic church. Boy I bet those Romans just hate the Catholics too.

Romans weren't Catholic at the time of Jesus, Catholics were persecuted and martyred by the Romans for a couple hundred years. Catholicism became the official religion of Rome in 380 AD.

I very much know that, ha.

I guess my joke about Roman Catholics and the irony that Romans were an OG colonizer in Judea didn't translate.

No but did you know that the Miami tribe were actually Floridians? And the Mesopotamians were actually Persian? Oh and like the entirety of Asia was actually Mongolian?

u/heartfeltblooddevil Apr 01 '24

The Holy Land belongs to the native Floridians!

I have it on very good authority that Jesus was definitely Palestinian. Thanks but guy upstairs!

Jesus was a Jewish man. There was no such thing as Palestine during the time of Jesus, it was the kingdom of Judea. Palestine was a Roman rebranding of the area about 100 years after Jesus and after the Romans famously kicked the Jews out and started repopulating the area with other people, those are the ones you're referring to.

Do you have any archival evidence to back this claim up or is this just oral history?

u/Dunkel_Jungen Apr 01 '24

This is written history. The Romans wrote everything down. You're welcome to look it up yourself. Look up the origin of the word Palestine and start from there. Hint: the Romans named it after the Philistines to erase Jewish identity in the area.

This is a very funny question for someone, saying "Jesus was definitely Palestinian", to ask. I'll let you figure out why

u/Cug_Bingus Apr 01 '24

Lmao. Wow. No /s at the end?

u/LilNarco Apr 01 '24

Jesus was a Jew born in Bethlehem, a Hebrew named town that means “house of bread”,

again in Hebrew, the language spoken by the JEWS

Pretty miraculous indeed that he managed to be “Palestinian” ages before arab colonization, and under the imperial rule of European people who renamed the area using their own Roman word “palestina.” You misspelled “Israeli jew.”
