What do Islam, Antisemitics, and some Catholics have in common?

 

They don't believe that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was Jewish. What was she if she was not Jewish? Would God have encouraged Joseph to marry outside of Judaism because He couldn't find a righteous Jewish girl to impregnate with His Son? 

The astonishingly stupid and often vulgar statements made on social media decry a desperate antisemitism that seems to link Islam, Jew haters, and some Catholics. Are there other pseudo-Christians who are offended by the idea that Mary was a Jew. If so, you had better learn some truth and humility in a hurry.

Caution: Vulgar language and extraordinary stupidity and hatefulness follow, as is often the case when quoting godless people. I call Muslims godless because their faith is not in God the Father or Jesus His Son.


Uproar Ensues as a Jewish Woman From the Middle East

Plays a Jewish Woman From the Middle East


All hell has broken loose because Netflix dared to make a movie about the mother of Jesus, Mary, and had the poor taste of using a Jewish woman from the Middle East to play the part of a Jewish woman from the Middle East. The outpouring of venom and display of ignorance at this choice was quite amazing. More on the outrage expressed can be found here: 


‘A disgusting Jew’: Uproar after Netflix casts

Jewish-Israeli actress to play Mary, Jesus’s mom

by Hannah Brown, Jerusalem Post, November 14, 2024:

Netflix released the trailer earlier this week for Mary, its upcoming movie about Jesus’s mother – a Jewish woman from the Middle East –  and a good chunk of the Internet is melting down, because the actress in the lead role is a Jewish woman from the Middle East.

Noa Cohen, a 21-year-old Israeli actress, portrays the world’s most famous Jewish mom in the movie, but some social media users are calling for a boycott.

Objections were raised both on the grounds that Cohen is Israeli and that she is Jewish, with anti-Zionism and antisemitism fusing in some posts, as they tend to do more and more these days. This subject, since it points to the fact that Jews lived in the land of Israel hundreds of years before Islam was established, whipped social-media users into a particularly petulant storm of grievance.

Jews have been living in the Land of Israel not for “hundreds of years” before Islam appeared early in seventh century, but for more than two thousand years before there was a single Muslim in the world.

Having Mary played by Noa Cohen, a 21-year-old actress from Israel, has enraged both the antisemites and the anti-Israel activists who always manage to overlap. They apparently cannot accept the idea that Mary was a Jew and — horribile dictu — so was Jesus.

Here are some of their hysterical remarks:

An X user called America First ZOE (AFZ) posted an image of Cohen’s Instagram account, writing, “A disgusting Jew got the part. lol.”

Red Pill Media wrote, “Jews created this and the actors are jewish. No thanks.”

Kathy, an X user whose bio reads, “It’s Palestine. It will always be Palestine,” wrote, “F*** you. I’m an offended Catholic. F***ing have an Israeli play Mary? May you all be f***ing smited. Blasphemous”

Apparently there are still a great many people who cannot accept the idea that Mary was Jewish, and so was Joseph, and so, of course, was Jesus. It’s just too upsetting. So please don’t upset them by trying to make them believe that tall tale about a Jewish Mary. How could a good Christian girl like Mary possibly be played by a “disgusting Jew”?

Can you imagine the outrage of having a cast of Jews playing a cast of Jews? It’s a Zionist plot. Everyone knows the Zionists call Mary a “whore” and reject her son — because both of them, obviously, were “Palestinians.” Why didn’t Netflix remain true to history and choose “Palestinians” to play the Holy Family?

Jeff Stan wrote on X/Twitter, Mary was not a ‘Jew’.” Adam Kout said, “As a muslim you have no right to insult mother Mary, one of the best female figures in Islam.”…

So Mary was “not a Jew” for some commentators. And for others, she was not only “not a Jew,” but “one of the best female figures in Islam,” right up there with little Aisha and Dalal Mughrabi.

Imagine how unpleasantly surprised Jeff Stan will be if he ever discovers that Mary was indeed Jewish, despite his furious claims to the contrary, and how mortified Adam Kout will be to find out that she was not “one of the best female figures in Islam.”  And “America First AOZ” will learn that no one in his right mind would agree with his description of the beautiful Israeli girl who plays Mary, Noa Cohen, as a “disgusting Jew.”

Red Pill Media saw a sinister Jewish plot behind the movie — “Jews created this [movie] and the actors are jewish. No thanks.” Then the anti-Israel brigade chimed in, with chatty Kathy (whose on-line biography says “It’s Palestine. It will always be Palestine”) nicely blending her anti-Israeli animus with antisemitism, writing, “F*** you. I’m an offended Catholic. F***ing have an Israeli play Mary? May you all be f***ing smited. Blasphemous.” And Salim and Adam claimed her for Islam. And Jeff insisted “Mary was not a Jew.”

Beautifully expressed, by all of you. Take a bow, Kathy, Jeff, Adam, Salim, Red Pill Media, tutti quanti. Really, I can’t imagine a more informative display.
