Christmas is a ‘Palestinian symbol’ and ‘Jesus was the first Palestinian,’ says senior Fatah leader

57

Is he wearing a suicide vest? So obsessed are the Palestinians and the Arab world with the Jews and our culture, they can never let us alone. But this really takes the cake, this latest episode in the “Palestinian” rewriting of history: first they invented their own nationality, and now a “Palestinian” leader claims that Jesus was a member of that nationality — indeed, the first “Palestinian.” In reality, the Romans, to isolate the Jews, renamed the land of Judea “Palestine” in 134AD, a hundred years after the time of Jesus. But deception and lies are everything to people such as Azzam al-Ahmad.

These muslims simply have no imagination.WND

Father forgive them, they know not what they’ve done, they are savages after all. PLease don’t photo shop Jesus with a keffir.

“Christmas is a ‘Palestinian symbol’ and ‘Jesus was the first Palestinian,’ says senior Fatah leader,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, December 25, 2018:

For years, the Palestinian Authority and Fatah have presented Jesus as a Palestinian, as part of its fabricating an ancient Palestinian history.

This year was no exception. On the occasion of Christmas, a top Fatah official spoke of Jesus as “the first Palestinian” and “‘Christmas is one of the permanent Palestinian symbols.”

In their historical revision, the PA and Fatah ignore that Jesus was a Jew (“Judean”) according to Christian tradition and that the Roman Empire changed the name of the land Judea into “Palestine” only a hundred years after Jesus lived. In spite of the dishonesty, senior PA and Fatah leaders have consistently presented Jesus and his mother Mary as Palestinians and Jesus as “the first Palestinian Martyr,” and the first Palestinian refugee, as documented by Palestinian Media Watch.

The following is a statement from PLO Executive Committee member and Fatah Central Committee member Azzam Al-Ahmad yesterday at Khan Al-Ahmar, a site where Palestinian Bedouins have illegally erected buildings and dwellings.

“The lighting of the Christmas tree each year has many meanings in Palestine… Christmas is one of the permanent Palestinian symbols, and the whole world follows Mass in Bethlehem…

The children of Khan Al-Ahmar are happy about the lighting of this tree, as it is the symbol of the first Palestinian, Jesus, peace be upon him. We, the members of the Palestinian people, celebrating Christmas together with everyone in the land of Palestine…’

The same false claims about Jesus were repeated by Secretary-General of the National Initiative [and PA Parliament member] Mustafa Barghouti:

“Jesus, who was born on this land, was a Palestinian and defeated his suffering.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Dec. 20, 2018]

A few among the many examples of PA and Fatah leaders calling Jesus a Palestinian include:

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas stated that: “We celebrate the birth of Jesus, a Palestinian messenger of love, justice and peace.” [WAFA, Dec. 22, 2014]…

Let’s break this down. Jesus was a direct descendant of King David. He was a Jew who followed the Jewish tradition and if he were alive today the so called Pali’s would no doubt try to kill him.

It’s crazy isn’t it?

Jesus is a Jew and so were His parents, Mary and Joseph.
Islam didn’t exist at the time Jesus was born!
Islam was fabricated around the 7th century – about 600 years after Christianity.

There is no lie a Muslim won’t tell to advance Islam in some form.

Muslims have their six lies that are tenets of Islam, It is perfectly reasonably not to trust Muslims based on the fact that lying is categorized for Muslim’s convenience.

Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
Kitman: deceit by omission.
Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
Taysir: deceit through facilitation
(not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear “moderate”.

Contrast that to what the Bible states whether in the OLD or the NEW Testament, it is the same.
Islam is a twisted view of Judaism and Christianity and always will be. Islam is the organized “religion” of Satan.

Exod.20:16
[16] Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Matt.19:18
[18] He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

Mark.10:19
[19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

“Jesus was the first palestinian”

Is it supposed to be something, like denying israel as a state?
Did the census – that took place in bethlehem – say that Jesus and his parents were palestinians?
Was Jesus registered as a palestinian?
Was the bethlehem ruled by recent palestinians?

Really, I can’t understand how these people are thinking.
Jesus I know was a jew, the descendant of israelite king, david. And I don’t think He had the problem with israel state. Suck it up, you deceptive muslims.

Insanity is hard to understand.

In Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, and Egypt where Joseph, Mary and Jesus fled to avoid Jesus being murdered by Herod were all part of the Roman empire at the time. Augustus the emperor of Rome, at the birth of Jesus, declared that roman citizens throughout the empire had to register themselves and redeclare their claim of citizenship in Rome. So being a Jew and a Roman citizen was common. There was no such thing as a “palestinian” citizen.

It is my understanding that Joseph being Jewish and also a Roman citizen allowed them to roam freely throughout the Roman empire without breaking laws or being considered, an “illegal” , “asylum seeker” ,”refugee” or “migrant” or any other categorization being used today by globalists, to push open borders and mass immigration.

Paul was also a Jew and a Roman citizen.
Acts 22:27.
[27] Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yes.

The only reason Muhammadists have stake at the discussion-table is because they are protected by censors who keep the truth about unjust Muhammad & his catastrophic effect on the world secret.
Who protects these censors? Everyone who doesn’t support me.
Muhammadists appeal to Jesuists while hiding that the unjust Muhammad-law commands crucifixions of critics, something that is carried out by these Muhammadists around Israel, by Saudi Arabia & recently by Inbred society (Islamistisis).
Other crimes include the lifeling torture of clitodirectomy, rape, forced marriage, forced theism, torture, arbitrary detentions, slavery, enslavement of Africans, killings, terror, injustice, theft, extortion, deception & pederasty.

Joseph was a direct descendant from David.
lineage of Joseph in Matthew 1:1-17

Matt.1:1-17
[1] The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
[2] Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
[3] And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
[4] And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
[5] And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
[6] And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
[7] And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
[8] And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
[9] And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
[10] And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
[11] And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
[12] And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
[13] And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
[14] And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
[15] And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
[16] And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
[17] So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

If Jesus was a first palestinian, then what about those babies (among of them are jews) who were born in the same day or time as Jesus??? Were they not first palestinians as well or it only applied on Jesus alone?

The Church of the Nativity is where He was supposedly born. I wouldn’t know if that is the location of his birth or not. I don’t venerate objects or historical places. I value Him more and that is what is important about Christmas!

In the New Testament, text defines Jesus as a Jewish resident of Judea.
The Roman Empire changed the name of “Judea” to “Palestine” one hundred years after Jesus’s death.
In the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the King of the Jews (or of the Judeans),
both at the beginning of his life and at the end.Jesus was NEVER considered a palestinian!

You can more easily see why it was logical or Joseph, Mary and Jesus to flee to Egypt to escape Herod when he demanded all Jewish boys two and under be murdered. Egypt was also part of the Roman empire at the time but out of the reach of Herod. It stuns me that a Pope would LIE like that for global, open borders, mass immigration for his cultural Marxist masters. This Pope is no Christian. This Pope should at least know HISTORY and not LIE about it as Christians are being slaughtered by Muslims.

Even lefty wikipedia has that fact!
Flight into Egypt

Egypt was a logical place to find refuge, as it was outside the dominions of King Herod, but both Egypt and palestine were part of the Roman Empire, linked by a coastal road known as “the way of the sea”, making travel between them easy and relatively safe.

Yes, the world knows exactly who and what they are, but until the world gets round to growing a set and actually admitting who and what they are, nothing will change.
And that will mean having to admit that Israel has been, and is, in the right all along. And I don’t ever see that miracle coming to pass.

Please see below from Matthew, Chapter 15:24
‘The Faith of a Canaanite Woman’

21 – Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 – A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 – Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
24 – HE ANSWERED, “I WAS SENT ONLY TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL.”
25 – The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 – He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 – “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

Well, that is interesting, perhaps Abbas will allow his “Palestinian” citizens to convert to Christianity without fear of being murdered for their apostasy? If given a chance,the odds are that a significant number of so-called Muslims would eagerly convert to Christianity if they were not so thoroughly intimidated.

Christmas is a palestinian symbol is a bullsh1t. Jesus was a jew, and He was a descendant of israelite king, david. The land that was occupied by roman empire in Jesus era was still the land of israel. Did Jesus want palestinians to hurt His jewish brethren? Did Jesus want palestinians to attack His brethren land, israel? Can you imagine how it’ll be when you use God as a tool, when you exploit God for your vile interest, but the God Himself is a living figure, which from him the dead comes alive? No, you can’t because that is the last thing you want to do after you exploit the God. That’s the same thing when you try to get a privilege over the God’s birth. And I believe God Himself doesn’t like it.

There is no such thing as Palestine, this was just a name the Romans had for the area. Arabs there are Israeli Arabs.

“In 135 AD, the Greek “Syria Palaestina” [a] was used in naming a new Roman province from the merger of Roman Syria and Roman Judaea after the Roman authorities crushed the Bar Kokhba Revolt. Circumstantial evidence links Hadrian to the renaming of the province, which took place around the same time as Jerusalem was refounded as Aelia Capitolina, but the precise date of the change in province name is uncertain.[18] The common view that the name change was intended “sever the connection of the Jews to their historical homeland” is disputed”
