Jesus a Palestinian?

American public school text: "Jesus was a Palestinian"
In my forthcoming book Stealth Jihad, I discuss how Islamic groups (some with Muslim Brotherhood links) are asked by clueless textbook publishers to vet history texts, so as to make sure that everything they say about Islam is nice and multicultural. Often as a result, these texts become little more than proselytizing vehicles for Islam. And this happens too: "'Jesus was a Palestinian,' claims U.S. history text: Study: American public school books have 'same inaccuracies' as Arab texts," by Bob Unruh for WorldNetDaily, October 3:

An excerpt from "World Civilizations," published by Thomson Wadsworth, for example, said, "Excepting the Old Testament's poetry, the Jews produced very little of note in any of the art forms ... There is no record of any important [early] Jewish contributions to the sciences."
The level of outrageousness grew: "Christianity was started by a young Palestinian named Jesus," claims "The World," published by Scott Foresman.
"The textbooks tend to be critical of Jews and Israel, disrespectful about Christianity, and rather than represent Islam in an objective way, tend to glorify it," said co-author Ybarra. "To teach children, for instance, that Jesus was a Palestinian and de-emphasize his Jewishness does a disservice to Christians and Jews as well as anyone who cares about historical accuracy."
