Was Jesus Palestinian, or is that a modern narrative being projected onto ancient history?
We break down where the “Palestinian Jesus” claim comes from, why it didn’t exist during Jesus’s lifetime, and how modern political identities are often retroactively assigned to historical figures to serve contemporary agendas.
Jesus lived in the 1st century in Judea under Roman rule. The term “Palestine” did not exist at the time, and even in modern history it was originally a geographic label used under the British Mandate — applied to both Jews and Arabs — before much later becoming a distinct national identity.
This video isn’t about theology or politics. It’s about how narratives are built, how history gets simplified or distorted, and why accuracy matters when the past is used to justify claims in the present.
Watch to the end for the full historical context.
