(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Hen Mazzig - Every December, I find myself explaining that Jesus was a Jewish man born in the Land of Israel, not a Palestinian. Just open the Bible. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, circumcised according to Jewish law (Luke 2:21), attended synagogue on Shabbat (Luke 4:16), and celebrated Passover in Jerusalem (John 2:13). The cross's inscription, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" (John 19:19), leaves no ambiguity. The term "Palestine" did not exist during Jesus' lifetime. It's a Roman invention. When Emperor Hadrian crushed the Jewish revolt in 135 CE - a century after Jesus' crucifixion - he renamed Judea as "Syria-Palaestina" to punish Jews and erase Jewish sovereignty. Before that, the region was Judea, the homeland of the Jewish people. When people claim Jesus wasn't Jewish, they're not simply mistaken - they're erasing Jewish history. The point is that Jews lived in Jerusalem long before Christmas - a fact that shouldn't require constant defense. I'm a Jew - born into a story that some would rather erase. My history is not up for grabs. It's not a chess piece in someone else's game. Peace demands truth - not narratives built on lies. 2024-12-24 00:00:00Full Article
