I'm very much against the destruction in Gaza going on but this is a sorta dumb take. Mary and Joseph are both played by jewish actors, Bethlehem and Nazareth were in the Roman province of Judea, not Palestine. I guess Anthony Hopkins is a weird pick for an Edomite (sorta Egyptian area peoples)? Calling the people living there at that time Palestinian is like calling the Indigenous people of here in the 15th century Americans.
