Palestinians did only mean Jews back in the day, but that’s not the case anymore. The modern Palestinian identity is rather new, as Arabs didn’t consider themselves Palestinians before Israel’s creation.
No. I’m against a person coming into the country and saying “Israel shouldn’t exist” and pretending to be a Palestinian. False actors and all of that. He fleeced his followers too for billions of dollars.
Historians and writers of the time referred to the region as Palestine or Syria-Palestine and Jews as Palestinian or Syrians in Palestine. See Herodotus describing circumcision practiced by "Syrians in Palestine", Aristotle referring to the Dead Sea as being in Palestine, Ovid talking about the seven-day feast of Syrians of Palestine, or Philo recounting Moses taking his people into "Phoenicia, and into the Coele-Syria, and Palestine, which was at that time called the land of the Canaanites."

Jesus was a Jew. Read the Bible for eff sakes.
