I can't stand his architectural style and I hope that the complex he designed for the Atlantic yards in Brooklyn never gets built. Let the chinese deck there cities out with that crappy style.

Indeed. The palestinians should be proud of their most famous son. Tytpical - more spouting of ignorance - Jesus was a Jew and Israelite, descended from the Royal House Of David. He came from Israel, an occupied territory under quasi Roman rule. They had a Jewish King in place. Where did the name Palestine come from? Seashore near Rosh Hanigra Northern Israel near the border with Lebanon The name Palestine refers to a region of the eastern Mediterranean coast from the sea to the Jordan valley and from the southern Negev desert to the Galilee lake region in the north. The word itself derives from "Plesheth", a name that appears frequently in the Bible and has come into English as "Philistine". Plesheth, (root palash) was a general term meaning rolling or migratory. This referred to the Philistine's invasion and conquest of the coast from the sea. The Philistines were not Arabs nor even Semites, they were most closely related to the Greeks originating from Asia Minor and Greek localities. They did not speak Arabic. They had no connection, ethnic, linguistic or historical with Arabia or Arabs. Now the Jews on the other hand do have a connection to that land, numerous connections!.
