Palestinian
narrative and propoganda, as previously discussed, highjack Jewish
history, rewrite it, colonialise it and after all the alterations and
repackaging is sold to the west to garner sympathy for their
deceitful narrative.
One
of those that was made to appeal to Western crowd (and goes hand in
hand with the modern Islamic-Christian dialogue that they exploit to
advance their own agenda) is the story and identity of Jesus. The
most basic claim is that Jesus (and Mary) is a Palestinian. Some will
say he wasn't even a Jew, that if he lived today he would be
mistreated by Israeli government and could not cross the border to
his home in betlehem because of Israeli checkpoints. Than they talk
about Jesus representation in Quran as Isa. Making Jesus the
Palestinian who was killed by Jews, again. Again different types of
narratives depends on the group or individual you might encounter and
deal with, but the basic premise is Jesus was a Palestinian, Jews
killed him. If he lived today he would be mistreated because he would
have to stand in a checkpoint.
So
in case you didn't know, the Christian bible a.k.a the New Testament
that starts with the book of Matthew opens with Jesus genealogy from
Abraham, through Isaac and Jacob (who was renamed Israel, by the way,
not Palestine, and his descendants are known as Sons of Israel, and
this land is named after him). Continues through generations to Kings
David and Solomon and it even refers to the Jewish exile to Babylon.
The first chapter of the first book of the Christian bible tries to
make it as clear as possible the Jesus is literally a descendant of
Israel, that he is one of the sons of Israel, not only that but part
of Israels (and the tribe of Judah) royal lineage. Also refering to
the first exile of the Jewish people to Babylon.
During that exile the sons of Israel were started to be referred to as Jews or Yehudim, because they came mostly from the part that is known till this day as Yehuda (Judea) were Jews or Israeli Christians who now live there are called “settleres” by Pro Palestinian propogandanists.

The
book of Matthew that portrays Jesus story through his birth, familial
exile to egypt to save him, and return to Israel, not Palestine, but
instead of returning to Judea (again, not Palestine. Or West Bank)
they go to Nazareth.
You
can read more about Jesus story if you will open the Christian bible,
and what better time would that be than Christmas, right? And
interestingly enough Christmas and Hannukah will be celebrated this
year on the same day! And you know who celebrated Hannukah also known
as festival of dedication? Jesus! As mentioned in John 10:22-23.
Hannukah is celebration of the Maccabeas/Hasmoneans against the greek
empire and king Antiouchus anti-Jewish and anti-Torah laws. So the
Hasmoneans revolted, won, purified from Idols the house of the Lord,
the Temple, and restored the Jews their rights to observe the laws of
God under Jewish rule, in Jewish kingdom in their land Israel.
So,
today Bethlehem, the birthtown of Jesus, that resides in Judea, part
of the land of Israel, part of the Jewish homeland, is now under full
Palestinian Authority control. There's a shrinking community of
Christians who live there. The Palestinians would like to blame
Israel for that, except that if it's true than why the rest of
Bethlehem residents only keep growing? Well, it's probably because
the treatment they get by the Palestinian society in which they live
in. you can start reading more about it in an article from August
2016 “The silent struggle of Bethlehem Christians” by Lela
Gilbert.
So
we have already established that Jesus, according to the Christian
bible was a Jew, an observant Jew, that lived in Israel, spent
atleast a part of his life in Judea, celebrated a holiday of
decolonising his Ancestors homeland from Greek occupiers and
re-establishing a Jewish kingdom and allowing Jews to follow their
laws and God again.
We also know that today his town of birth, Bethlehem, is now controled by the Palestinian colonisers. And just like he and his family couldn't return to their home town because of fear of death by an occupying force, so today no Jew can actually live there and even might be executed, that Jesus modern disciples, Christians, who live there are being mistreated and haunted by the Palestinian Occupation.
So let's say Jesus was alive today. He would probably be an IDF reservist, probably an officer. If he was standing at a checkpoint, he would be the one there that keeps everyone safe from Palestinian terrorists. He would have to check ID's, make sure no one carries fire arms, explosives or try to go on a stabbing spree. Make sure no one tries to start a car-ramming attack. And then probably go back home to Nazareth Ilit.

But
since Jesus is not around right now, its regular Israelis guarding
Israel at the checkpoints. Sometimes those are Jewish soldiers,
sometimes its Druze soldiers, sometimes its Israeli-Arab soldiers,
sometimes its Christians soldiers. All of them need to make sure that
no Palestinian occupier terrorist will not kill fellow Israelis. And
this holidays (and everyday) we should pray for their safe return and
success in their mission.
