How was he not a Jew? He was certainly not a Christian - he would have been confused if you could go back in time and talk to him in Aramaic about Christianity.
Many different peoples lived in ancient Palestine and most of them were not Jews. There is no record of Jesus in his times from the Herodians, Romans or contemporary historians. The first mention by historians was more than half a century or more after his death, by which time everyone who was alive when he supposedly lived, was dead. Christianity was invented by Saul/Paul century and more later.
No indeed, pretty much all ancient people were "pagans". Judaism was however the first of the monotheist faiths, and it is entirely conceivable to me that some of those who converted to Judaism had descendants who converted to Christianity and then to Islam.
The same people who were there all along. Yes, Jesus' existence is disputed (some say that the Biblical John the Baptist was the real figure, for example).
Julian McFarland wrote a poem dedicated to Yahya Sinwar. It began, "Jesus was a Palestinian before He was a Jew...".
Jesus was a human before he was a Jew
Anything else doesn't really matter
As a person he was one of very few
Who stood his ground and didn't scatter
Its realy past time we stopped talking of Jews against others
And start with the fact that all are sisters and brothers
As wth Jesus so with brave and devout Sinwar
Who would be bette named Innocent Peace.
To think that if someone is Jewish he or he will not be able to preach love and peace is getting near to being genuinely anti semitic
If he existed he was definitely Palestinian. Being a Jew not so sure given his teachings.

I TOTALLY agree

PAGAN just meant not our religion
there were earlier monotheistic faiths than Judaism. But off topic
