According to the article, written by British columnist Johann Hari, during Christmas "a third of humanity will gather to celebrate the birth pains of a Palestinian refugee in Bethlehem - but two millennia later, another mother in another glorified stable in this rubble-strewn, locked-down town is trying not to howl."
It added: "Fadia Jemal is a gap-toothed 27-year-old with a weary, watery smile. 'What would happen if the Virgin Mary came to Bethlehem today? She would endure what I have endured,' she says."
'21st century Marys being terrorized'
The article alleges that Jemal lost her baby due to a "road blocked by Israeli soldiers, who said nobody was allowed to pass until morning."
Quoting Jemal, the article added: "When I see the (Israeli) soldiers I keep thinking - what did my baby do to Israel?"
Hari described Palestinian women as "21st century Marys" who were being "terrorized."
Various commentators have said that elements in Europe hostile to Israel have begun to portray Jesus as a Palestinian, and ancient Judea as a Palestinian entity.
The late Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat often denied that Jerusalem was the site of the Jewish temple, and described Jesus as a Palestinian.
Bump
Naw! Just look at the pictures of him! Just like Santa Claus, he was from Norway!
Jesus, Peter and Paul were all Jews tried and executed by the Romans. There is no such thing as a "Palestinian". The Arabs that Israel is permitting to live on its land are mainly from Jordan, Syria and Egypt. Yasser Arafat was born in Cairo. Mahmooud Abbas is from Syria. Israel belong to the Jews. Period.
Yes, how well I remember reading as a child, the story of Jesus at the age of 12 being found in the company of learned ayatollahs, in the great mosque in Jerusalem, discussing intricate points of the Koran.

If Jesus is a Palestinian, then God is a Palestinian. Because Jesus was born of divine seed, with Mary acting strictly as a human incubator. God did not impregnate Mary with seed that then mingled with her fallen egg. The seed was already germinated when it was placed in her womb. God has no nationality, and since he has no origin, Jesus has the same attributes. He said "if you have seen me you have seen God". That means he wasn't of Jewish blood either. He had to sacrifice divine blood, untainted by Adamic sin, in order to make the perfect sacrifice. A perfect sacrifice demands divine blood. Another reason what he did is so awesome.

So, you can't answer the question? Let me try this again, Who created God?
Yep. And Ebekinezar was a Martian.
What a load of crapola!!
WOW! You're a pro at this - I'm very impressed! I always enjoyed that quote. It reminds me of those "other" Gods (Zeus etc) that ruled the day.
Yeah, thank you for the "enlightened" response.
Your Nun's answer might work on a 5th grader who can be bullied by a Nun, but my question still stands. Who created God?
Jesus was an Israeli...
That means Jesus, when he as came into this world, was very Jewish. Not just Jewish, but of the house of David.
His gift of salvation though, is available to all who will receive him, including Palestinians.
They are now officially the religion of the Borg.
Did Joseph or Mary do any of the following.
Behead people
Swarm a carriage
Kill non believers
Commit Pedophile acts
Commit a suicide bombing
No and that proves they were not palestinians.
Forget it and get over it alphadinnerjacket Jesus was a Jew
"If Jesus is a Palestinian, then God is a Palestinian. Because Jesus was born of divine seed, with Mary acting strictly as a human incubator. God did not impregnate Mary with seed that then mingled with her fallen egg. The seed was already germinated when it was placed in her womb."
Don't take this the wrong way, but that's one of the kookiest things I have ever heard.
"God has no nationality, and since he has no origin, Jesus has the same attributes. He said "if you have seen me you have seen God". That means he wasn't of Jewish blood either. He had to sacrifice divine blood, untainted by Adamic sin, in order to make the perfect sacrifice. A perfect sacrifice demands divine blood."
Why the Jews, then?
He was Palestinian. Before about 1930, if you said Palestine, you meant the land occupied mostly by Jews, who were thus Palestinians. The term did not come to mean the immigrant Arabs who came in to take advantage of the booming economy created by the Jews, until about that time.
But He was not a refugee. His family was merely going to Bethlehem to be counted and taxed. They returned home shortly thereafter, which is why He is known as Jesus of Nazareth, where Mary and Joesph actually resided, not Jesus of Bethlehem or Jesus of Jerusalem.
