Rabbi blasts Ilhan Omar, NYT for pushing claim Jesus was ‘Palestinian,’ not Jewish

 

[The Faceless]

The account for Students Supporting Israel said: "Is it for real? Jesus was a Jew. What's next? The Pope is also Palestinian? Stop lowering our IQ."

Actually Judah was part of the Palestine territory which over the centuries belonged to many.

Jesus spoke Aramaic and colloquial Greek--not Hebrew. Although I'm sure an omniscient Jesus knew them all. He lived in the Roman province of Palestina.

A Palestinian Jew is perfectly fair.

I don't think there has ever been a nation called Palestine.

How would you know what languages Jesus did not speak?

Same goes for "America" yet we still call ourselves Americans.

Talk to your pastor.

 

[ewq1938]

Talk to your pastor.

The only people who could say what languages Jesus did not speak would be people that knew him while he was alive. All other views are assumptions and speculations.

"to ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America"

We are recognized as such by the International community, and by Great Britain since the Treaty of Paris.

"God Bless America, my home sweet home"

look up American in websters.

lol wut?

 

[Allandavid]

A better example might have been South Americans, or Central Americans....?

It’s a regional descriptor, rather than a national one, as with the Palestine...

All residents of north and south America are Americans, and yes that includes Mexico

the Palestinian State is not the same as the Palestine of old

 

[ewq1938]

Only in a continental sense, not a national sense. Only people of the USA are American's nationally because it's the United States of AMERICA so only USA residents are American nationally speaking. Mexico is Mexico not America, and South America is made up of various nations/countries with different names.

Canada is in North America the continent but they aren't American's in the same sense US citizens are.

By that time, Hebrew had ceased to be a vernacular language.

During OUr Lord's earthly sojourn, there was a METOURGEMAN who gave a running translation of the Scriptures into Aramaic.

 

[ewq1938]

By that time, Hebrew had ceased to be a vernacular language.

This is pure speculation. Only people that lived in those days could say what languages had ceased. There's plenty of scriptural evidence that Christ knew Hebrew and was not the only one:

Did Jesus Speak Hebrew? - Disputing Aramaic Priority

Yeah, I was going to bring up America in reference to this quote from the OP:

"“Palestine was a name made up by Romans after they crucified thousands, destroyed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and exiled the People of Israel from their homeland,” Cooper told the Jewish Journal."

(I would also note that Palestine is cognate with the Philistines of the Bible, and the name even in the more modern form is older than the Romans.)

Jesus was a Jew. What he spoke doesn't matter.

Did Jesus Speak Hebrew? - Disputing Aramaic Priority

That's a pretty much established historical fact that Hebrew had ceased to be a vernacular language.

This is a result of the Babylonian exile.

I NEVER said that Jesus did not knoiw Hebrew.
