Sky News host slams anti-Israel protestors who claim Jesus was Palestinian

Sky News host James Macpherson has slammed pro-Palestine protestors who claim Jesus was Palestinian. “Anti-Israeli protestors, both here in Australia, and overseas, have hijacked Christmas to claim that Jesus was not in fact a Jew, but a Palestinian,” Mr Macpherson said. “Their argument goes something like this – Jesus was born in Bethlehem and Bethlehem is located south of Jerusalem in what is now known as the West Bank – therefore, they say, Jesus was Palestinian. “Attempting to weaponise Christian identity in support of a terrorist organisation by claiming that Jesus was not a Jew is deceitful. “The fact that Jesus was a Jew doesn't mean He would abandon the Palestinians, and it doesn't mean that Christians should abandon the Palestinians either. “In the current circumstance, it means supporting Israel's right to defend itself and to eliminate the forces of evil seeking to wipe it from the map, while at the same time mourning the destruction required to accomplish those goals, since Jews and Palestinians are equally made in the image of God. “Jesus taught us that. And Jesus was a Jew.”
