That is a question that does not have an answer. There is no contemporary record outside of the Gospels recording Jesus' birth or anything he ever said or did. The location of the village mentioned in the story of his birth is controversial, many locations have been suggested but none can be verified even as the place the Gospels mention.

In all honesty it is not clear that a man named Jesus even existed in the first place. The Gospels are not reliable as a historical source because they involve supernatural powers and are of unknown date and authorship (despite their names). The mentions of Jesus by Josephus are hotly contested as forgeries, and even if they are not Josephus never met Jesus. Other historians who mention him do so long after his supposed death, and are reporting hear say.

I am not saying that Jesus did not exist, simply that from a point of history it is unclear. Whether or not he existed much like whether he or not he was Yahweh or the Son of Yahweh is a matter of faith.

Yes. Bethlehem was part of "Palestine" in the year zero - but under Roman control.

It's now part of Israel - since 1948.
