PA daily op-ed: “Christ… is a Canaanite Palestinian…killed by the Jews”
Op-ed by Columnist for official PA daily Adel Abd Al-Rahman:
“Easter… is not a holiday for Christian Palestinians only, but a holiday for Palestinian nationalism, because Christ may he rest in peace, is a Canaanite Palestinian. His resurrection, three days after being crucified and killed by the Jews – as reported in the New Testament – reflects the narrative of the Palestinians, who struggle against the descendants of modern Zionist Judaism, in its new colonialist form, that conspires with Western capitalists who claim to belong to Christianity.
Christ, may he rest in peace, the virtuous, patriotic, Palestinian forefather, who renewed the Old Testament, split away from its followers, founded his New Testament and spread it among mankind. This led the Jews to persecute him until they caught him, crucified him and then murdered him. Afterwards, he rose from the dead like the phoenix and began to disseminate his teachings that still exist and will exist as long as mankind exists.
Christ’s story is his people’s story. The Zionist movement – tool of the capitalist West – wanted to falsify historical facts, to exile and crucify the Palestinian Arab nation and then murder it through ethnic cleansing… but the Palestinians, Christ’s descendants, rose from the ashes, like the phoenix, from the ruins of the Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” the Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel) and the Naksa (i.e., "the setback," Palestinian term for Israel's victory in the Six Day War.) They dressed their wounds and raised the flag of nationality again by founding political parties and factions…
The first day of Jesus’ resurrection (i.e., Easter) is a distinct national holiday that relates not only to Christians but to all Palestinian believers of the different religions – Islam, Christianity and Judaism.”
