Well, if the child, jesus, is born from Mary who was a palestinian arab without Joseph help. Does that mean Jesus is actually an arab not white or jewish?

You find one person who mentions Palestine in connection with Mary, and assume that means she was an Arab? The term was used generically, not as an indication as an ethnicity. He offers no proof that she was not of Jewish descent, and no where in the article does he make such claim. Nor does he come across as an expert in such things. Quoting this article to claim that Jesus was an Arab makes about as much sense as quoting a 3rd grader's paper that our president is a good man to say that obviously "good people" want to go to war in the middle east! Your premise, your evidence, and your conclusion are all wrong.

Mary just happened to grow in Palestine area and it was from Syria down to Samaria and Idumea. Arabs and Jews live peacefully among each other until their colonizers divided them. Mary can be an Arab but definitely Joseph was a Judean and at that time racial difference is not an issue among the middle easterners since they all claim to be from the line of Abraham.

Samaritan/Jew half breed from Galilee.
Samaritans practice the Hebrew religion but most are not related by blood to the Jews. They were brought in from mostly Arab lands after the Assyrians wiped Israel off the map in 722 BC. After that, the contention between the Samaritans (Arab settlers who adopted the Hebrew religion) and the Jews (Hebrews of the Tribe of Judah) resumed much like the previous disputes between Israel (Non-Jewish Hebrews) and Judea (Tribe of Judah, Kingdom of Judea).
If he was born is Bethlehem approx. 2,000 years ago and raised in Nazareth near Galilee, then he would not have been Jewish, at least nothing more than a mixed Jewish/Arab.
Pastors always skirt the issue of the destruction of Israel in 722 by the Assyrians. They like keeping people in the dark about it so they won't ask uncomfortable questions about why Jesus wasn't raised in Judea like any other Jew of that time.
And no, Jews are not white, unless they are European Jews.
2,000 years ago there were no European Jews.

I totally agree with Fee_Slice. Jesus was not white.
Yes, he was born in the Middle East (Palestine), but I'm not sure if he could be called an Arab, because he was born in a Jewish family/community. Jews can be Arabs, right? Jew = religion, Arab = nationality. No conflict, right?

Where did you get the notion that Mary was a Palestinian Arab?

He and his mother were Jews but lived with old Palestinians and he spoke their language too Aramaic not Hebrew. Mary the Magdalen was a full Palestinian.

Jesus came through Mary not out of Mary, and Mary was a Israelite out of the tribe of Judah, that's where your word Jew comes from. Joseph also was an Israelite also, Hebrew Israelite
( black People ) no Offense!

Yeah, except that the people from Nazareth at that time weren't Palestinian arabs, they were Hebrew Israelites.
P.S. Jesus 'is' not anything. He 'was' born of a Hebrew mother however.

Yes, Jesus was Arab. We just hate Arabs so don't expect white people (Aryans) to admit it.

Your statement about Mary being a palestinian arab is false. Just false propaganda which will be answered for some day.
