Sarsour lemons

Regarding “No truth to the Palestinian Jesus” (July 12), let’s take this opportunity to put to bed forever Linda Sarsour’s absurd claim that Jesus was Palestinian.

If her remark held even a modicum of truth, then why for the past 2,000 plus years is there no mention anywhere of the generous monthly stipend his family would have reaped from the relevant authorities as someone who should have been revered as a martyr?

Yes, absurd – but no less so than the ridiculous proclamations of Sarsour, whose verbal outpourings and rhetoric must be ridiculed and refuted. She takes “fake history” to a whole new level in her attempt to negate someone else’s heritage in order to fabricate her own. STEPHEN VISHNICK Tel Aviv

David Parsons argues with the notion that Jesus was a Palestinian. There is a wise Talmudic saying, “One should not argue/discuss/debate with fools since one will soon be indistinguishable from them.” The same applies here.

Arguing with the concept of the Palestinian Jesus is akin to arguing that the moon is not made of green cheese – especially since everybody knows that Jesus was planted on earth by an advanced alien civilization from somewhere in our galaxy, perhaps a constellation near the Great Bear. Israeli TV recently interviewed the leader of the sect who believes that the earth is flat. Is there any point to arguing with that as well? Wait, I’ll check my horoscope (Taurus) to see if my arguments will bear fruit this month.

Exclusive to The Jerusalem Post – here is Linda Sarsour’s revised list (still a work in progress) of who is Palestinian: Jesus, Moses, Einstein, Freud, Caesar, Roseanne Barr, the Smothers Brothers, Peter Pan, Golda Meir, George Washington, Vladimir Putin, Queen Elizabeth and Roger Waters.

Who knew?

Actually, she might be on to something there about Roger Waters…
