'Jesus was a Palestinian,' claims U.S. history text

A new study reveals that if Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wanted to criticize the nation of Israel before the United Nations, he could use American public school textbooks to do so.

"It is shocking to find the kind of misinformation we discovered in American textbooks and supplemental materials being used by schools in every state in the country," said Dr. Gary Tobin, president of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research and a co-author of the study.

"Elected officials at every level should investigate how these offensive passages are creeping into our textbooks. Presenting false information in the classroom undermines the very foundation of the American educational system," he said.

Tobin teamed with insititute research associate Dennis Ybarra for the study, titled, "The Trouble with Textbooks: Distorting History and Religion." The five-year effort, which looked at 28 prominent history, geography and social studies textbooks, reveals American public school students are being loaded up with indoctrination about Christianity, Judaism, Islam and the Middle East, to the cost of Christianity and Judaism and the benefit of Islam.

The study also supports other assessments of U.S. texts on which WND has reported.

Jesus was a Jew, a citizen of Israel which was, at that time, occupied by the Romans.

Stupidity reins rampant. The word Palestine comes from the work Philistine. The Philistines were the traditional enemies of the Jews. Jesus of course was a Jew, not a Philistine. Quoting from Wikopedia: “The Romans joined the province of Judea (which already included Samaria) together with Galilee to form a new province, called Syria Palaestina, to complete the disassociation with Judaea.” In other words the Roman used the term to delegitimize Judea.

And Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright are men of God.

And the Romans would agree to boot.

I'm wondering if SF writers Robert Heinlein and Frank Herbert were prescient... Both predicted that islam would be the dominant religion in the future. I wonder if they believed it would be because islam would conquer Christianity and Judaism, or if they'd just surrender. Mark

Since Christians believe Jesus was the son of God, conceived through “Immaculate Conception”, He surely was neither a Jew nor a Philistine.



To: webrover

The Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary.

Earliest Reference Describes Christ As 'magician' "A bowl, dating to between the late 2nd century B.C. and the early 1st century A.D., is engraved with what may be the world's first known reference to Christ. The engraving reads, "DIA CHRSTOU O GOISTAIS," which has been interpreted to mean either, "by Christ the magician" or, "the magician by Christ."

"...A bowl, dating to between the late 2nd century B.C. and the early 1st century A.D., is engraved with what may be the world's first known reference to Christ..." This is a joke, right? Kind of like Biden explaining how FDR went on TV in 1930? I rather suspect that if the bowl has a reference to a man born in the year 0, it LIKELY wouldn't have been made 200 years before the man was born.
