He must go fucking nuts when he sees all the Christmas stuff in all those Jewish owned stores.
Why do they do that I wonder????

I love when stuff like this makes all the rednecks come out.
A celebration based on the Christian religion was taking place in a government run location. They refused to also celebrate a Jewish one. Their reason was that because of the whole "church and state" thing, they couldn't celebrate a religious event.
Now you may go back to religious insults and comments about greedy Jews controlling the world.

Maybe they could have put snowflakes on the menorah to make it non-religious. Their stuborn attitude when presented with the hypocracy caused the problem and now they want to publicize it so other "like minded individuals" can applaud them.

Just have to comment on that. I have nothing against any religion but a christmas tree and santa clause seems pretty non religious to me. I could understand the uproar if it was a nativity scene or something of that nature but you dont have to be anti anything to see that this is an agenda which is putting a damper on an otherwise joyful time for all people.
Same to me but it's an easy arguement to make from the rabbi. Is Santa been associated with any other religion? The tree and the jolly fat man are so closely tied with Christmas despite the lack of religious content.
Seasonal trees, reindeer, eves, Santa, snow have very little to do with reglion and more to do with marketing.
The Christians should be complaining about the commercialization of their holiday.
I am willing to bet that Rabi wouldn't be happy if they took one of his holiday's and marketed the crap of it.
Just there is no way that we could show a little tolerance here?

Right, marketing of Christmas purchases.hunter001 said:
Then why isn't this the complaint?
That's why I suggested that the airport should have allowed the menorah alongside the Christmas trees.
He's one idiot. The Hasidics are often bananas anyway, like all extremists. Generally less Orthodox Jews are exceedingly tolerant of Christmas, so one does not make a rule.

My thoughts exactly. Jewish people have no rrouble selling it and making a profit, so why would it be bad?
I can see the point of denying one religion it's High Holiday symbol. On that basis it is discriminatory. Sea-Tac should have just put up the Minorah. But where does it end? No one knows the answer to that question.
We will eventually become a sterile society and that will be a really sad moment. Don't show your faith, don't show your passion, don't show your countries flag...all because "someone" might sue if you do.
I miss the old days when everyone put up lights no matter what the religion. It was a festive thing. Almost competitive a bit to have the nicest dispaly. Now it's politics.
Humbug!
Less Orthodox Jews as well as Christians who aren't "born again virgins" know that there's lots of schekles to be made from a pagan Roman holiday.

Not me, they drag down society in general. The limp dicked politically correct sock cookers are quick to forget that the advances in the world were are doing and the prosperity and plenty is a result of western thinking. Why should they need to take down any reference to Christmas at the Sea-Tac airport, its what we are.
I'm not so sure that my views are that "extreme". More and nore people seem to be wakinh up to the stupidity of all this PC crap and say enough is enough. Hopefully we are not too late.
In the interest of not causing the JDL TERB division to get all agitated I will not specifically say what I would have told that rabbi, I'll let board readers figure it out based on some of my other postings.
"They've darkened the hall instead of turning the lights up," said Bogomilsky's lawyer, Harvey Grad. "There is a concern here that the Jewish community will be portrayed as the Grinch."
Well guess what??? They do look like a bunch of "Grinches". And they have no one to blame but themeselves.

So on different note did our beer exploration team try the Innis & Gunn this weekend? Any comments?
Balls still attached, penis cocked and ready with the safety on. I'm going in.
Cool guiness, that is sacriledge!!danmand said:
By the way the tree is part of a pagan celebration and absolutely nothing to do with the religious festival!! Bloody nutters
I was thinking about this thread...lets say I was from Texas and decided to live is Israel.
What do you think my chances would be to tell this Rabbi in Israel that I wear a Stetson and I decorate trees for Christmas and demand they do the same at the Synagogue or I'll sue?
I think I would politely be told to leave, I was not welcome there.
