@ MrBeefStank:

Yes, we admit. Jesus was Jewish, he was born in Palestine. Jews and Arabs lived together in Palestine in peace for thousands of years, thats the way it should be now. There were plenty of Jews in that protest against Israel, because they are real Jews, standing up for real Judaism. Israel hijaked Judaism to push their own genocidal/apartheid agenda. Anyone who stands up to them, Muslim, Jew, Christian, etc, is a hero. God Bless Palestine.

May God protect you all for doing God's Will to come to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Jesus said "whatsoever you do to the least that you did unto Me". Read the Sermon on the Mount which Jesus gave the people. Remember Jesus was born in Palestine that would make him a Palestinian.
