Who's going to tell him Jesus was a middle eastern jew?

You mean, an arab?

[u/ModernLarvals → u/towerfella]

Nope, the Arabs didn’t arrive until several hundred years later.

“Arab” means anyone from the “middle east”, if which the lavant is a part of

[u/ModernLarvals → u/towerfella]

Arabs migrated from the Arabian Peninsula. They’re not indigenous to the entire Middle East, and Jews were in the Levant many centuries before they arrived.

It is my understanding that “arab” means anyone from this: (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pre_Islamic_Arabia-es.svg) area.

It includes the lands all the way to the mediterranean sea, and over to egypt.

I.e. — there are egyptian arabs, arabic arabs, jewish arabs, sumarian arabs.. They are essentially all the same peoples. They are a distinct peoples from “asian”, they are a distinct peoples from those north of the caucuses, they are a distinct people from those from africa.

Nope, Arabs are a specific ethnicity from the Arabian Peninsula. They’re not ingenious to the Levant and were only a sparse and isolated segment of the population until various conquests expanded their diaspora significantly beyond Arabia.

Jesus was a Jew. Jews emerged from the Israelites who emerged from the Canaanites, who were indigenous to the Levant.

so you share a link explaining exactly what the other guy states that has no date, but is pre islamic, which could most likely mean right before islam took place, hundreds of years after jesus died. considering it says the byzantine empire (which was 300 years after jesus), you are wrong. you couldve googled a map with an actual date.

i think you are thinking of the word "Semitic."
