It’s complicated bc of where the border is. Historically, it would be more accurate to say he was Judaean. I see a lot of people saying he was Palestinian, which is historically inaccurate bc the region only became known as Syria-Palestina after the Bar Kohkba Revolt in 70 AD

Yeah, that’s just a historical misrepresentation. The region became Palestine, but he was Jewish, and the region was not yet Arabized. But he was a Hellenized Jew who spoke Aramaic and likely also Greek, rather than Hebrew. It’s not the same as what israel tries to represent itself as.
