That's true but I'm an Australian from the Perth region and have no ancestral connection to the inhabitants of this land 200 years ago let alone 2000. It would be disingenuous to claim that there is a shared heritage with the people who live in an area today with those from thousands of years ago. Off the top of my head there are many times where the demographics of Palestine may have changed not including the Jewish migration into the region in the mid 20th century. Examples would be Roman conquest of the region, the crusades, the Turkish migration into the region from the central Asian steppe and migration of Arabs into the region. (Full disclosure I am not educated on the topic I would love to know if anyone can share with me a more accurate rendition of the historical migration in the region)
Don't get me wrong free Palestine, but I'm not 100% sure that it's accurate to claim that modern Palestinians share a common heritage with the people who lived in the region during the time of Jesus
Palestinian doesn’t just refer to the Turkish or Arab people of Palestine today though. It also includes the Mizrahi and the people who are a mix of those groups. Jesus would look like the Mizrahi and the difference between him and them is closer to the difference between Boudicca and a modern scot.
