Jesus was a Palestinian? That's what one public school textbook says.
Although Jesus lived in a region known in his time as Palestine, the use of the term "Palestinian," with its modern connotations, is among the hundreds of textbook flaws cited in a recent five-year study of educational anti-Semitism detailed in the book "The Trouble with Textbooks: Distorting History and Religion."

How absurd.................

Our mental images of Jesus have been shaped by European artists, not reality or history. -

Who cares what he looked like. Such thoughts have no value or relevance to anything in life. We all know Jesus was a Jew from that region. And it is not even relevant to the op. -
Still doesn't explain the "absurd" comment.

Move on your off topic

No, it is on topic. You asserted Jesus wasn't Palestinian. Someone who lives in Palestine is a Palestinian, which is the point of the story on how he may have appeared. Oh well...getting you to discuss anything is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.

Apparently you did not read the article. And what he looks like is irrelevant.
