yes he was, I dont care about this debate. Jesus was aramaic, the term "palestine" was formed way after his death. But Mary wasnt a hijabi. In Jewish tradition, Mary wore a head covering because she was married, as a sign of modesty, following Jewish customs (Tziniut) The islamic Hijab is a religious obligation for all Muslim women, not related to marital status. The Jewish head covering was about modesty in marriage. While both involve covering the head, the context and meaning are different.
