Hello dear Christopher. I'm being super gentle here but wanting to point how the mind of most people works. The idiom 'Jesus was a Jew' used to be w thing. Now a days whether Jew in diaspora or not is really not a cool brew. Now, your post is it course true - if Jesus was from Bethlehem or Hebron or Nazareth he would of course be - post British occupation or whenever the precise delineation by patriarchs labelling pieces of land as owned territories - a Palestinian. But to the commonly educated person who when you say Jesus is was Palestinian you miss the option that it is immediately assumed Muslim. Not that you should really care, but I personally feel you are potentially adding fuel to a really inflamed fire which adds more soldiying to positions, opinions and ideologies. Happy to hear a clarification about your thoughts. Tammy
