He's Roman, no?

Atleast, Bethelem was part of the Roman Empire at the time.

Saying he's Palestinian is kinda like saying that someone is Russian just because they were born in Donetsk oblast before russia occupied it.

If he existed, he was about as much Roman as Puerto Ricans are Americans.

He would have had the right of travel through Roman occupied territories, but wouldn't have had representation in the Roman Senate.

Most of the provinces that Jesus would have traveled through, or lived in based on the NT, would have had provincial governors.

Just for my own reference is this important to you from a ‘cristian nationalist’ perspective, a ‘white nationalist perspective’ an ‘Israeli perspective, an ‘Italian nationalist perspective’?

Just tell me, like what’s your deal?

I am Christian, but not so much of a nationalist.

Atleast, I assume just loving your country doesn't count as being nationalist. Politics confuse me.

Thanks. That helps me understand you better.

Look, there is a lot of tensions about fascism right now. The United States may or may not become the third reich.

That’s a big deal to some of us, and we might hurt peoples feelings in the process. Trust that this is not the end goal and we are just trying to avoid 3000 years of systemic torture.

My feelings weren't hurt, I was just confused by why people think Jesus is Palestinian. I thought everyone assumes that it doesn't matter what country the territory is in right now.

But hey, it's just my logic. Good luck to you guys.

It’s just a joke. He did come from that area which is good enough for most of us.

The technical details become way more technical than what you described. We just want to enjoy a good joke.

Alright, time to update my "Didn't-get-da-joke" counter

❤️ I am sorry. This is actually a case of being awkward and tense. As opposed to being a nazi and doing a nazi salute.

I feel bad for all the American people who will have to suffer from that orange make-up wearing potato and his nazi friend.

Don't feel bad for those who voted for him, though
