Someone on yahoo answered this some time back.

Forget exactly how it went, but was something like this.

Jesus would have to have been a Labor man.

His dad was a tradesman. Carpenter.
He was a tradesman. Carpenter.
He was a Union organizer.
He formed the first organized Union.
The Sea of Galilee Fisherman's Union.

Something like that, anyway.

Well NO Jesus was NOT an 'Arab born in Palestine'....there were almost no Arabs in Palestine at that time...

The majority of the Arab population didn't migrate to Palestine until about 600 years AFTER Jesus died....
