Jesus is a Palestinian (Dutch: Jezus is een Palestijn) is a 1999 Dutch comedy written and directed by Lodewijk Crijns (b.1970). The parody on religious fanaticism and millennialism, which involves the topics of self mutilation, incest, and euthanasia, is the director's first full-length movie.
Ramses (Hans Teeuwen) is a dorky twenty-something who has been living in a commune in Limburg for eight years. Piercing from head to toe and dressed in a shapeless robe, he practices the teachings of Kahn-Guru. Just before his rather painful (genital) initiation, his sister Natasha (Van Kooten) appears on the scene with the message that their father (Mascini) is dying in Amsterdam. Together they go to the capital where Ramses is introduced to the female gender and to a Palestinian prophet in the Bijlmer who has decorated the roof of his apartment as a landing place for the Messiah.
