‘Tis The Season For Historical Revisionism: The Myth Of Jesus As A Palestinian
As the Christmas season approaches, a familiar refrain emerges from certain corners of ideological discourse: the insistence that Jesus of Nazareth was a Palestinian.
This claim, amplified through social media and public figures, serves not as an innocent misunderstanding of historical fact but as a pointed effort to rewrite history. It diminishes the profound Jewish identity of Jesus while advancing a politicized narrative that is neither supported by historical evidence nor respectful of the Christian faith. For Christians concerned with historical truth, this revisionist trend should not go unchallenged.
The False Narrative Unpacked
Recently, a viral TikTok video implored viewers to "Make Christmas Palestinian." The creator urged followers to adorn their trees with Palestinian decorations, teach their families that "Jesus was a Palestinian," and financially support Palestinian businesses. The rhetoric, steeped in anachronism, is not new. It mirrors claims made by prominent figures, such as Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, in 2022, asserted that Jesus was born in "modern-day Palestine" and lived as a refugee under oppressive conditions akin to those faced by Palestinians today.
