In Jesus time (assuming there was such a person) there wouldn't have been a Palestinian/Jewish dichotomy like now, as you imply. And yes, in the 1940s and before "Palestinian" meant a Jew. Palestinian brigades fightin gwith the British, or Palestinian sports teams were zionist Jews. There are (or were until expelled in the Nakba) people who traced ancestry (DNA wise) in Israel/Palestine back to Jesus time. They would have been Jewish back then and avoided the diaspora following the rebellion against the Romans. They subsequently became christian and then muslim as these religions washed over the region. It is in this sense that people claim that Jesus was a Palestinian. It is largely rhetoric, but very poignant rhetoric considering the racist ethnic cleansing and massacres since 1948.
@brandonhutchison9864 Can you send some proof for the claim that many from 1948 can trace ancestry. From my reading it was largely either people who came during the Islamic conquest during saladin or Arabs who came in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
Amazing! Do a whole series on this please
Great video. I loved your point at the end about supersessionism.
Thanks my friend!

For interesting reference there were many in Europe that actual referred to Jews as Palestinians in the 1700's
