‘Lots of people over the millennia since have believed his propaganda. Whereas Mary’s household fled to Egypt to flee King Herod’s persecution, calling her a “Palestinian refugee” not solely imposes fashionable terminology on historic historical past, however utterly eradicates her Jewish identification. It’s historic nonsense, with an agenda. If you wish to honour her story, inform it correctly.’
