Dear Libs: Mary And Jesus Were Jewish… Were Not Refugees… Were Not Palestinian… They Were From Judea

Posted • December 25, 2024: Because it is Christmas week (Christmas Day now) and because the left loves to try to make everyone else as miserable as they are, we've seen no shortage of horrible takes from the usual suspects who cannot simply let Christians enjoy the holiday. We think The New York Times takes the prize this year for a truly abominable take about the 'truth' (according to them anyway) of Jesus' parentage. But there have been plenty of others. Maybe the last person we thought we'd have to roll our eyes at this week, however, was Bear Grylls. Seriously? Bear Grylls? The Man vs. Wild guy? We know he has great knowledge about starting a fire pretty much anywhere in any conditions and drinking your own pee in order to survive, but we never took him for a historical or Biblical scholar. It turns out, he is neither.

Check out the edginess from the self-professed 'devout Christian': Bear Grylls OBE @BearGrylls: “HAPPY CHRISTMAS! In these next few days billions of us around the world celebrate the birth of a Middle Eastern refugee who, 2,000 years ago, changed the course of the world forever. Let me tell you some of his story. This is just a short extract from near the beginning of the adventure. When Maryam, a young, poor, and no doubt terrified Palestinian girl, gives birth in a run-down animal pen, to a baby who was foretold for hundreds of years. Yet she was not alone. And she never would be. Because this was the moment that God Almighty broke into our fallen world in person… To many of us, it is undoubtedly: The Greatest Story Ever Told.” -- We'll give him credit as a Christian for at least acknowledging Jesus' divinity. Outside of that, however, the tweet is pure hogwash. And boring hogwash at that, since the left tries to rewrite history like this every year.

But it is a new day on Twitter and they can't get away with that anymore now that Community Notes is around. At the time of this writing, there were NINE Community Notes pending on this tweet, correcting Grylls on the actual facts of history, like the fact that Mary was Judean and the fact that 'Palestine' did not exist at the time. Here is one of the Community Notes that was published below his tweet: https://media.townhall.com/cdn/hodl/tw/images/up/2024/360/cb6d3a3b-275c-49c0-aa4f-d31b1b649f6c.PNG -- As that and the other notes were being written, Twitter users were busy delivering an epic ratio to Grylls. -- The thing about Jew-hatred of this kind is that it necessarily alters the story of Jesus. Now he’s a refugee. 😂 (…)
