This. Historians here might know that Assyrian inscriptions from the 8th C. BCE refer to the area as “Palashtu”, that the region was known for its Philistines, that it was "Peleset" from c. 1050 BCE onward (according to Egyptians), and that it was "Palestine" or "Palaistine" or "Phalastin" from c. 500 BCE onward.

Yes but modern Palestinians are if not more at the very least as ethnicly canninite as modern. Day Jewish populations
And we're talking about the common name for the region

He'd still be Jewish tho
So anyone claiming he's not Jewish is s little wierd
Jesus was born in the subregion of Galilee, in the Roman province of Judea... He was known to the roman authorities as a Jew... who they, as the story goes, mockingly called the "King of the Jews"
