[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Was Jesus a Jew? Of course, Jesus was a Jew. He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world.[/quote] Jesus was a Jewish settler. Gallillee was historically inhabited by the northern tribes. Gad, Naphtali, etc. Jesus's family per the gospels was from the tribe of Judah, a southern tribe. What were they doing in the Galillee? Well the northern tribes were all exiled by the Assyrians, and never came back. In the period of Babylonian and Persian rule the area was inhabited by gentiles. When the Hasmoneans conquered it, they settled Judeans (of the tribe of Judah) in the Gallillee. By modern terms, those folk were "settlers" Now you might point out that Jesus's mother was born in the Gallillee, his family was there for several generations. But in modern political discourse a Jew born in the settlements is still a "settler". [/quote]
