One comment id like to make. You stated that Jesus was a "Palestinian Jew" but that is false. Palestine did not exist at that time. This is fact its not debatable. Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea. He was not a Palestinian. Some of our earliest references to the Philistines can be traced as far back as the 12th century BCE in ancient Egypt. But the Philistines and Palestinians are 2 vastly different peoples. The earliest verifiable references to "Palestine" (or its variations like Palaistinē and Palastu) appear in the mid-5th century BCE with the Greek historian Herodotus and in 9th-century BCE Assyrian inscriptions, respectively. Herodotus used the term to refer to a wider region, while the Assyrian texts employed variations of the name, derived from the Philistines, to denote the land.
