I thank Peter Bridgman for the information that Iesou and Mariam are the Greek NT versions of Yeshua and Miriam, but this was a minor point. I wish Peter had said something about his mistaken reference to them as "Palestinian Jews." And I wish he had said why was it so easy to fold Christian-approved Jews into other people's identities or to "universalize" them, when Jewish villains remained so theatrically Jewish?

Dear Hardy,

 

Can't you turn off the Zionist propaganda? It is completely irrelevant to the Shakespeare Conference The Christian Bible is quite explicit that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were Galileans.  They were not ancient Judeans, who like Galileans practiced a very different religion, had a very different culture, and spoke a different language from those of modern Jews. The only contemporary population with probability of descent from ancient Judeans are modern Palestinians.

 

Ethnic Ashkenazim have no connection to Palestine beyond the mythological. In the late 19th century eminent Semiticists like Gustav Dalman and Wilhelm Gesenius elucidated difficult Talmudic texts by analyzing vocabulary and idioms that passed into Palestinian Arabic from Palestinian Aramaic as the Palestinian Judean, Galilean, and Idumean populations were Islamicized.

 

Before the Zionists ethnically cleansed the native Palestinian population, classicists and anthropologists used modern Palestinian practices to explain difficult references to Greco-Roman Palestine in classical texts. 

 

The native Palestinian population preserved the ancient Palestinian festivals like those of Nabi Hud (Yehuda), Nabi Ruben (Reuvan), and Nabi Yamin (Binyamin), that are mentioned in classical texts but were never codified by Talmudic sages. Naturally, modern ethnic Ashkenazim descended from non-Palestinian populations that adopted a very different form of Judaism much later have no knowledge of such celebrations.

 

Sincerely yours,
