Dennis Prager argues Jesus was not Palestinian because the term didn't exist in his time. The Romans crucified Jesus under the charge of "King of the Jews," and his mission was directed exclusively toward Jewish people, not a broader Palestinian identity.
And now you have Jesus was not a Jew, he was a Palestinian. If you'd have said to Jesus, are you a Palestinian, he would have said, excuse me, what? The term was not even known. The Hebrew, Plishtim, sounds like Palestinian. But they were considered vanquished and gone from history when Israel entered Canaan. He was crucified by the Romans as the King of the Jews. That was the term. His entire mission was to the Jews.
