=== No Palestine in Jesus' Time (02:19) ===

[00:00:00]  So let's unravel this particular thing.
[00:00:05]  Since Jesus is from Bethlehem, he's technically a Palestinian.
[00:00:11]  Would he say that about indigenous Americans?
[00:00:16]  Since the Navajo are from, and then where are the Navajo in Arizona?
[00:00:23]  So since the Navajo are from Arizona, they're technically Arizonans.
[00:00:31]  He would never say that, because it denies who they are.
[00:00:36]  But much, much more remarkable, there was no such thing as Palestine at the time of Jesus.
[00:00:43]  It was an invention, complete invention of the Romans.
[00:00:48]  It didn't exist.
[00:00:49]  It never existed.
[00:00:50]  There was never a country named Palestine.
[00:00:52]  There was never an independent entity named Palestine.
[00:00:56]  In fact, before Israel was created, Palestine was associated with the Jews.
[00:01:01]  The Jerusalem Post was the Palestine Post.
[00:01:05]  The Israel Philharmonic was the Palestine Philharmonic.
[00:01:12]  The United Jewish Appeal was the United Palestine Appeal.
[00:01:18]  So just since we live in the age of enforced ignorance, because the left runs our schools and our media, you know, almost nobody knows that.
[00:01:31]  So this Jesus was a Palestinian thing is the classic.
[00:01:36]  I've said this before I even knew the young Turks existed.
[00:01:41]  Anyone who says Jesus was a Palestinian, or in the case of Hitler, Jesus was an Aryan.
[00:01:47]  That's what the Nazis said.
[00:01:49]  The de-Judaization of Jesus is the mark of a Jew hater, of an anti-Semite.
[00:02:00]  It's the de-Judaization of Jesus.
[00:02:04]  In this entire tweet, the fact that he is a Jew is not mentioned.

=== Believing Their Lies (01:03) ===

[00:02:08]  Are we familiar with this tweet?
[00:02:10]  No.
[00:02:11]  Isn't it something?
[00:02:15]  Since Jesus is from Bethlehem, he's technically a Palestinian.
[00:02:21]  It's a lie.
[00:02:22]  It's a stupid, ignorant lie.
[00:02:25]  Does he believe what he wrote?
[00:02:28]  After all these years, I've come to believe that leftists often believe their lies.
[00:02:34]  A, they don't know a lot.
[00:02:37]  And B, they convince themselves.
[00:02:40]  He's technically a Palestinian.
[00:02:44]  There was no Palestine.
[00:02:46]  He was a Jew in Judea.
[00:02:48]  That's all that Jesus was as a man.
[00:02:52]  Obviously, to Christians, he was more than a man, but that's who he was as a man.
[00:02:58]  Remember that the next time you hear a death toll from the Palestinian territories, if Jesus returns to the place of his birth, could he survive the night?
[00:03:07]  Well, it depends.
