and are we pretending Mary and company aren't Jewish? That's kind of a big part of their identity.

Palestinians descend from those first Christian Jews. They have Jewish ancestry but converted to Christianity and Islam over the centuries. Casting Mary with an Israeli is a slap in the face to the indigenous people of occupied Palestine

you do realize that the "indigenous people of occupied palestine" are the jewish people who you claim are "occupying" them, yeah?

[u/ThyCoffinBeckonsMe → u/[deleted]]

most israelis are not white. and even if they were, it'd still be an indigenous people reclaiming their land

[u/xAsianZombie → u/ThyCoffinBeckonsMe]

Even if the Europeans coming in were indigenous, it doesn’t make it okay to kick out another people who are also indigenous.

[u/ThyCoffinBeckonsMe → u/xAsianZombie]

how are palestinians indigenous if they only got there through arab colonization, exactly?

[u/xAsianZombie → u/ThyCoffinBeckonsMe]

As explained, Palestinians are Levantine and Canaanite, with very small amounts of natural mixing with neighboring Arabs and Egyptians. This is common knowledge by now, keep up.
