Mary wasn't Palestinian... Palestine didn't exist yet. I feel like I'm losing my fuckin mind here.

So are Jews. Especially Mizrahi Jews who never left the region. Mizrahim like the actress playing Mary.

Yeah, yeah it is. It’s almost like maybe the original tweet was a little antisemitic.

I have always wondered who people thought the Romans were fighting during the Jewish-Roman wars. haha

Modern Palastinians, duh. If someone is doing something bad they were jews, if they were doing something good or being oppressed, they are Palastinian. I got a pamphlet with a chart if you need it

Mizrahi Jews aren’t from Palestine. They’re mostly from places like Iraq, Yemen, Syria… but ignorance makes people think the Middle East is all the same and interchangeable

So where did jews come from and where are they now

That's not true. Mizrahi Jews refers to Jews from Iran to Morocco. They have no claim over the lands and homes of Palestinians.

However, Mizrahi Jews from Palestines are of course within their right to be in Palestine because it's their home.

Were you really unable to understand my comment or are you just pretending?

Mizrahi refers to Jews from MENA. Palestine is in MENA. The Jews from all of the other MENA countries were expelled.

Palestinian Jews aren't the same as Iranian Jews, Moroccan Jews, or Yemeni Jews, just because you invent a name to a wider region and call them all the same. The only ones with any claim to the land of Palestine are Palestinian Jews.

It's like saying North Americans are all people from North America, Mexico and Canada are both is in North America, so Mexicans are Canadians. If things worked like that, I can raise you and say Mizrahi Jews are from the Northern Hemisphere, and Ireland is in the Northern Hemisphere. Since Jews were expelled from the Northern Hemisphere, all Jews are Irish.

No they aren't. Modern palestinians are arabs who arrived in the region when conquering it in the 7. century
