This really beats everything - "Jesus was spreading his teaching (Islam) in this country (Palestine)"... now Palestinians are rewriting history in order to deny the right of existence to Israel as a nation and abolish everything Jewish in the land... Not even one word of whatever Jewish is mentioned in this following article - it is all about how Islamic Christianity is supposed to be ... When will the world finally realize the facts? I am very curious to know which of the world media is going to mention the following facts,if they mention them at all...
This Christmas, remember, 'Jesus was a Palestinian'
Ryan Jones, Israel Today Newsletter, December 26, 2010

More than a billion Christians around the world have just celebrated Christmas, commemorating the birth of Jesus, the promised Messiah. There is one thing the Palestinian Arabs hope you all remembered while celebrating - that Jesus was, in fact, a Palestinian (Arab).

It is nothing new for the Palestinians to claim that Jesus was a Palestinian. The Palestinian leadership gets in on the action all the time. Yasser Arafat used to openly declare as much as he kicked off Christmas from Bethlehem every year.

Arafat is gone, and current Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas is a bit more subtle, but the media organs under his control are still being used to perpetuate this lie.

In a December 3 interview with Palestinian Authority TV, Samih Ghanadreh from Nazareth was asked about his new book “Christianity and its Connection to Islam.”

Ghanadreh tells the host that he remembers fondly how Arafat would label Jesus as “the first Palestinian Shahid (martyr).”

The host then matter-of-factly notes that “Jesus was a Palestinian; no one denies that.”

Palestinian Media Watch, which provided translation of the above interview, reports that earlier in the year, the Communications and Education Authority of the ruling Palestinian faction Fatah issued this statement on its official website:

“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…”

A year earlier, Abbas’ appointed Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Hussein, preached on PA TV that “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.”

These examples confirm that among average Palestinians, it is an ingrained belief that Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, was a Palestinian and even a pre-Islam Muslim. All historic or religious ties between Jesus and the Jews have been severed, just as they have severed all historic and religious ties between the Jews and this land.
