ZOA's Klein Quoted: Muslims Made Life Miserable for Bethlehem Christians Driving Them Out

"Jesus was Palestinian of Nazareth," Linda Sarsour tweeted over the weekend, sparking a backlash.

By World Israel News Staff 

American political activist Linda Sarsour is claiming that "Jesus was Palestinian of Nazareth and is described in the Quran as being brown copper skinned with wooly hair."

She tweeted the assertion over the weekend, doubling down afterward amid criticism over her claim that Jesus was from a place that did not exist in his days.

"Jesus was born in Bethlehem… Bethlehem is in Palestine," she wrote. "It's currently militarily occupied by Israel and home to a predominately beautiful Palestinian Christian community. Yes, the birthplace of Jesus is under military occupation."

"Are you that stupid?" Yair Netanyahu, son of the Israeli prime minister, retorted to Sarsour's comment.

Israel-based journalists led the way in taking Sarsour to task: "Actually, Jesus lived during the Second Temple period, prior to the Romans renaming Judea as Palestina. The chronology doesn't work out at all," tweeted Sam Sokol, a former correspondent for The Jerusalem Post.

"If Jesus – who was Jewish – was a Palestinian and lived in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, then you're saying Jews are indigenous to what is today called Palestine and Jews have a right to live in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Israel. Glad you cleared this up," wrote Michele Chabin, who contributes to USA Today and the Jewish Week.

"Not only was Jesus a Jew but until the 1960s, whenever the term Palestinian was mentioned, it referred to the Jews!" wrote Avi Abelow on Israel Unwired.

"The Palestine Post of the early 20th century was Jewish. The Palestine soccer team was Jewish! The Palestine electric company was Jewish etc.," he writes.

Morton Klein, head of the Zionist Organization of America, took the opportunity to point out the persecution faced by Christians under Palestinian Authority rule: "Bethlehem was 80% Christian, but when Israel gave it to Palestinians, Christians were harassed, jailed, threatened, lost their jobs and left town. Now it's only 10% Christian. I met with Bethlehem Christians & they cried about their life."

According to a May 2019 paper from the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, "The ongoing international neglect of the plight of the Christians under PA rule could lead to the disappearance of Christianity in the place where it emerged."

In April, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and The New York Times were also criticized for promoting the idea that "Jesus was Palestinian, and not a Jew living in Roman-occupied Judea," CBN Newsreported.

Omar reportedly faced backlash after she retweeted a comment from Omar Suleiman, an American Muslim scholar and civil rights activist who had written: "I was once asked by a relative who is a Palestinian Christian why the Christian right in America largely supports their oppression. Don't they know we're Christian too? Do they even consider us human? Don't they know Jesus was a Palestinian?"

Just hours before that tweet, The New York Times published an opinion piece that claimed, "Jesus, born in Bethlehem, was most likely a Palestinian man with dark skin," noted CBN.

It's penetrating the mainstream Orthodox and Secular Jewish Community together with the rest of the population. No one is sheilded from these "values, morality and ethics".

IfNotNow Sends 'Ransom Note' to Camp Ramah Leaders
By David Israel - 30 Sivan 5779 – July 3, 2019

House Democrats introduced the Equality Act last week, a measure that would ensure gender ideology — i.e., transgender bathrooms, forced preferred pronoun use, and biological men playing women’s sports, etc. — is cemented into federal law.

Report: Growing Tendency to Disengage from Israel Exacerbates US Jews’ Identity Crisis
By David Israel - 6 Tammuz 5779 – July 9, 20190
(Here are examples of old fashioned  antiSemitism being cloaked in sophisticated intellectualism using fancy academic and sophisticated language by people who think if they sound smart will fool others to believe they are smart and how to fight it)

The report, “Navigating Intersectional Landscapes: Rules for Jewish Community Relations Professionals,” commissioned by the Julis Foundation for Multi-Disciplinary Thinking, finds that the application of intersectionality in its current form contributes to the normalization of the “new anti-Semitism.”

The disease eating away at our social-political order and threatening our freedom.
"I never imagined that this esoteric freak of literary scholarship would break out of the university and infect the larger culture in the current "transgender" phenomenon. Casting aside biological science and common sense alike, this ideology holds that "male" and "female" are politicized, reductive constructs that ignore a wider variety of "gender" identities in order to suit the ruling class's power and privilege. Now individuals decide, based on their subjective feelings and perceptions, whether they are male or female, or some other of an ever-increasing variety of "genders."

As a result, today we have medical professionals dispensing hormone-suppressing drugs to pre-teens, and performing "sex reassignment" surgeries that can be described only as mutilation. "Woke" corporate retailers do away with male and female designated restrooms, creating a feeding pool for sexual predators. Boys "transitioning" to females participate in girls' sports and smash historical records, and public libraries host transvestites to educate immature children about how to become, and live as, their preferred sex."
