OK.... AM I AN IDIOT TO TAKE THE IDEA SERIOUSLY THAT THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE MAY BE LARGELY DESCENDED FROM THE MESSIANIC JEWISH COMMUNITY OF THE FIRST CENTURY.... WHO DID NOT JOIN IN THE BAR KOCHBA REVOLT... AND THUS.... WERE NOT EXPELLED FROM THE HOLY LAND BY THE ROMANS AFTER THE REVOLT WAS CRUSHED????? This topic fits with how the question of marriage and divorce... may have played a huge role in the separation of the disciples of Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus from the followers of Rabbi Akiba???? Mr. Tsvi Misinai's research has helped to lead me inexorably toward this conclusion over these past ten years or so. Are the Palestinians the Jews NOT expelled from Judaea after Bar Kochba Revolt? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsvi_Misinai ..... .....
