Jesus was een Palestijn

 

Zoals wel vaker bij PMW vertalingen, mis ik de context - er worden alleen enkele zinnen uit een gesprek weergegeven.

Deze onzin is echter bekend in Palestijnse en ook pro-Palestijnse kringen. Er is geloof ik zelfs al eens een toneelstuk geweest met Jezus als Palestijn en Sharon als beul of zoiets ongepasts.

 

Moet ik hier nog vermelden dat Jezus een Jood was, stammende uit de grootste bevolkingsgroep in het gebied rond het jaar 0, de Joden? Hij was Judeeër of Galileeër, want de naam 'Philistina' (Palestina) werd pas 100 jaar later door de Romeinen op het land geplakt.

Jesus was a Palestinian-
"no one denies that," says PA TV
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

One of the ways the Palestinian Authority attempts to create a Palestinian history is to deny the Judean/Jewish nationality of Jesus, and misrepresent him as a "Palestinian."

Palestinian Media Watch has documented this ongoing Palestinian Authority historical revision. Recently on PA TV, the author Samih Ghanadreh from Nazareth was interviewed about his book "Christianity and Its Connection to Islam." 

The following is the transcript of the discussion describing Jesus as a Palestinian:

Religious program on PA TV: This is our religion

 

Author: "The Shahid (Martyr) President Yasser Arafat used to say: "Jesus was the first Palestinian Shahid (Martyr)." I heard him say that sentence many times."
PA TV Host: "He [Jesus] was a Palestinian; no one denies that."
Author: "He [Jesus] was the first Palestinian Shahid (Martyr). He (Arafat) attributed this Martyrdom to Palestine, as well."

Fatah proud of "Palestinian" Virgin Mary
Earlier this year the Fatah Communications and Education Authority issued as statement on the official Fatah website claiming the Virgin Mary was "of the nation of Palestine":
"If we are proud of the holiness of our land, then we are proud and pride ourselves that the first and most important holy woman among the nations and peoples is from the holy land: The Virgin Mary - the woman of love and peace - is of the nation of Palestine..." [palvoice.com/index.php?id=23043]

Jesus and Mary were Palestinians par excellence
The Palestinian Authority religious leader, the Mufti Muhammad Hussein:
"Jesus was born in this land; he took his first steps in this land and spread his teachings [of Islam] in this land. He and his mother [Mary], we may say, were Palestinians par excellence." [PA TV (Fatah), May 12, 2009]
