Palestinians Killed Jesus. Case Closed.

Yes, Palestinians Killed Jesus — Whoever Palestinians Were

I did not expect my feuilleton “Why Did Palestinians Kill Jesus?” to go viral the very next day after publication. Yet the phrase immediately turned into a meme, circulating alongside its companion slogan, “Judas Was Palestinian.”

It spread everywhere—X, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit. Influencers large and small piled on. Thousands of comments, countless reposts, hundreds of thousands of views. Video bloggers recorded reactions. Even Russia Today, the largest English-language Russian outlet, graciously descended to notice it.

Somehow, the piece also resurrected my low-profile X account. Old posts that previously attracted no attention suddenly accumulated thousands of views—along with, of course, hostile comments.

But all these reposts had one thing in common.

Almost nobody linked to the article.

Ninety-nine percent of commenters did not read it. They debated the title. Furious discussions unfolded around five words: “Why Did Palestinians Kill Jesus?”

The essay itself was a satire—a deliberate mirror held up to the slogan “Jesus Was Palestinian,” aggressively promoted in recent years. But most readers treated it as a literal claim, as if it were Zionist propaganda designed to pit Christians against “Palestinians.”

When screenshots circulated, many thoughtfully cropped out my tagline:

Russian-American-Israeli Palestinian. Palestine is Israel.

And, predictably, no one mentioned the author’s note:

His core project is reclaiming the name ‘Palestine’ and the term ‘Palestinian’  from appropriation. Palestinians are Israelis, not UNRWA clientele.

Because including that would have ruined the outrage.

And outrage was the point.

Propaganda Without Context | Propaganda Failure!

Sample reel from one of the so-called video bloggers/influencers, titled “Propaganda Failure!” The “influencer” opens by presenting the article as an attempt by Jews to “trick Christians back on your side” by claiming that Palestinians killed Jesus. As usual, no link to the article is provided. Indeed—propaganda failure.

Lesson One: The Title Eats the Article

The first thing I learned is painfully simple: the title matters more than the content. Almost nobody read the essay, but everyone reacted to the headline.

Fair enough. That is precisely why you are now reading this article under a title calculated to provoke you again.

Sample post on X from one of the outlets out there, Russia Today—a Russian state-controlled international news network funded by the Russian government. The post consists solely of the article’s title, rendered in all caps—“WHY DID PALESTINIANS KILL JESUS?”—with no explanation and no link to the article. The author’s tagline is omitted. The post also highlights that the piece appeared as a “Blog in Israel’s largest English-language online newspaper,” subtly inviting readers to read the headline as an official Israeli stance, rather than satire.

Lesson Two: Meet the New Ziophobic Theology

The second lesson was more revealing. A new mythological genre has emerged—one we should recognize and confront.

According to many commenters, out of all the apostles only Judas Iscariot was a Jew (or Judean). Jesus himself, they insist, was a Palestinian Galilean, as were all the other apostles. Their “evidence” ranges from pseudo-genetic speculation to Jesus’ Aramaic accent, sprinkled with just enough academic-sounding jargon to feel convincing.

This nonsense does not deserve serious refutation—but it must be identified.

We are no longer dealing merely with the claim “Jesus was Palestinian.”
Now the claim expands:

• Palestinians were Judeans
• Palestinians were Israelites
• Palestinians were Jews who later converted to Christianity
• Palestinians were Jews who later converted to Islam

In short: everyone was Palestinian—except today’s Jews.

This is not history. It is ideological laundering.
And we cannot afford to let them hijack every one of these terms—including “Palestinians.”

Old Antisemitism, New Packaging

There is nothing novel here. Medieval Christian antisemitism operated on the same mechanism: Jews were allowed to exist only as fossils of the past—biblical props who vanished the moment Christianity emerged. The modern slogan simply updates the formula. Jews are permitted in antiquity, but the present and the future must belong to someone else. Jewish continuity becomes an inconvenience that must be explained away, converted, or absorbed.

Replace “the Church” with “Palestinian identity,” and the logic remains unchanged.

We are in a war of narratives, and this one is aggressive. They do not merely want the name Palestinian—they want every ancestral identity retroactively absorbed into it.

That is why I call them UNRWA clientele. Or simply, the clientele. (See my article “The Clientele.”)

Another variation of the myth goes like this:
Originally everyone was Jewish. Those who accepted Christianity became Palestinians. Those who didn’t remained Jews.

Convenient. Elegant. Entirely fabricated.

Who Killed Jesus? Let’s Be Consistent.

Many commenters rushed into the classic debate: Who killed Jesus—Romans or Jews?

Fine. Let’s play by today’s rules.

If Jesus was Palestinian because he lived in Roman-controlled Judea, then the Romans became Palestinians the moment they entered Judea in 63 BCE.

Which neatly explains why, two centuries later, in 135 CE, they renamed the province Syria Palaestina.

Critics may point out that the Romans merely revived a long-standing external name for the land of Israel, already used by the Greeks. That is correct. Which is why I said the Romans renamed Judea—not that they invented the name.

By that logic, Pontius Pilate was Palestinian.

Problem solved.

So yes—Palestinians killed Jesus. Whoever Palestinians were.

An Intra-Jewish Dispute, Not an Eternal Alibi

By the way, Jesus and the Pharisees were engaged in an intra-Jewish dispute—or, if you insist, an intra-Palestinian one.

An internal argument.
Not a cosmic warrant for two thousand years of theological outsourcing and moral blackmail.

The Cleopatra Test

The claim “Jesus Was Palestinian” belongs to the same genre as “Cleopatra Was Sub-Saharan African.” Same anachronism, different target audience. Modern identities are projected backward onto ancient worlds to score contemporary political points. Accuracy is irrelevant. Provocation is the product.

The Gotcha That Wasn’t

Some commenters celebrated what they thought was a contradiction:

“Zionists say Palestinians didn’t exist, yet now they say Palestinians killed Jesus—so Palestinians always existed!”

Yes—if you had read the article, or any of my other writing, you would know the answer already.

Palestine is Israel.
Palestinians are Israelis.

That is precisely the point. I am reclaiming names that were stolen, weaponized, and emptied of their historical meaning.

Sample post on Reddit from the Ziophobic group “Israel Exposed.” The post features the supposed “gotcha” moment:

Zionists: There was never a Palestine! – Also, Zionists: Why Did Palestinians Kill Jesus?

No link to the article is provided, and the author’s tagline is omitted. The screenshot presents the title alone, letting the contradiction speak for itself.

About the Hate Mail

I could not read all the thousands of comments across social media, but ninety-nine percent were hostile and mostly identical.

Because my photo and name were always included on the screenshots, alongside the article’s title, many commentators focused almost entirely on that. I learned that I apparently look Southeast Asian (SEA), or Mexican, or even Khazar (fascinating how they know what Khazars looked like). And, of course, as usual, there was extensive commentary on my skin color (“white colonizer,” anyone?) and my supposedly “common” Middle Eastern name.

Some declared I am not a person but a “Zionist entity” writing from Tel Aviv, with Mossad or Shin Bet often suggested as my employer.
Others demanded my address.
Some insisted I am paid $7,000 per post by the Israeli government.

Apparently, the internet is full of articles proving this.

My mistake may be that I explicitly wrote on my LinkedIn profile:

Not a content creator or influencer. Not helping leaders unlock their full potential. Not a member of any honor society.

That line probably cost me real money.

To those convinced I earn $7,000 per post:
Please let me know where to send the invoice.

Final Word

When identity becomes infinitely elastic, it stops being history and becomes propaganda.

Queers for Palestine in Italy – proving that if Romans were Palestinians, some of their descendants still are… sort of.
