(Jerusalem Post) Petra Marquardt-Bigman - It's the time of year again when Palestinians and their supporters gear up to use Christianity's most popular holy day for their own political purposes. The PLO has just released a short animated clip that declares: "Palestine celebrates the birth of one of its own, Jesus Christ." "Jesus was a Palestinian" fantasies are part of the annual Palestinian Christmas propaganda routine. Yet practicing Christians who acknowledge history remember that at the first Christmas, Mary, Joseph, the innkeeper, the shepherds, and the baby were all Jewish. The fact that the historic Jesus was a Jew is merrily ignored by Palestinians, who don't seem the least bit embarrassed to press Jesus into the service of Palestinian nationalism - never mind that the declared goal of this nationalism is a state with Islam as the official religion. Can you imagine what would happen nowadays if Joseph tried to buy any property in Palestinian-controlled Bethlehem? Any Palestinian willing to sell to him would risk being sentenced to death for the crime of selling property to a Jew. The writer is a German-Israeli citizen with a PhD in contemporary history. 2013-12-26 00:00:00Full Article
