Biblical scholar blasts AOC, left-wing pols for claiming Jesus was Palestinian: 'Rips Jesus out of his Jewish context'

A biblical scholar accused left-wing politicians and media figures of using Jesus to send a “historically false” and “inflammatory” political message about the war in Gaza this Holy Week.
“This Easter, let’s not try to pretend Jesus was a ‘Palestinian Jew,'” historian and Aurelio Professor of Scripture emerita at Boston University Paula Fredriksen implored in her scathing op-ed for the Washington Post.

“So caught up were these advocates in their own spin that they mischaracterized reality,” Fredriksen reacted.
