I'm assuming this hopefully is all about Christmas trees in Jerusalem. If it is the US we are really in trouble. But anyway in Jerusalem why don't Christian visitors stay in the Christian section and patronize Christian hotels. That is what I would do. Who wants to stay some place where one is not wanted?

Charles, you are sick. Israel cannot be Jewish and democratic. Secondly, Auswitz was not liberated by Christians but Communists (the official ideology of the SU at the time): the Camps in the West were liberated by a mix of Christian, Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist soldiers of many nationalities and many did not make it back to their homelands to complain and moan for the next 70 years like you people while attacking every other way of life around you no matter who or what - you just cannot stand anyone who is different from you except when it c omes to taking our money or sending our children to fight wars for you. Get on with it. Leave Palestine alone, Give up your War Criminals and let the Christians of Palestine enjoy Christmas for a change. Happy Christmas Around the World

This is so true. Read the book of jeremiah - Ch 10

Kick every yid out of every country and let them all go back to israel.

Whine. Whine. Whine. Anti-semitism! Whine. We are so special. Whine. Of course its okay to have a big menorah in the White House and take billions of dollars from the dirty goy Christians. The eternal whine continues.

What, did they run out of little boys to mollest.

When out of context, we can assume that we have reached the ultimate truth. One must learn about the indifferences in order to be versed enough to make a small "intellectual comment". As for those who lobby against Christian tradition and rituals, they have to cease and desist of acting as if they know the "real and true" differences that separate people and religions. Quite apparent that some Rabbis come to believe that they are God's mouth piece on earth. Wisdom is a virtue and we could acquire it all by returning to Proverbs, which is only one small segment of the Holy Bible, which is fact the continuum of the Sacred Torah.

a comment to #116 The snake does not bite its tail

To #48: You are offended that "idiotic 'Christmas' trees" are visually polluting the Jewish State, yet it is largely Christian money collected at gunpoint by way of taxes for foreign aid that has helped to keep Israel afloat all these years.

It does when it controls its head

I agree with you that this is your country and it should be your holiday symbols that dominate. I also believe that jews who live in MY nation need to understand that they are the minority and that the domiannt culture is a Christian one. Quite the opposite is the case, though. Your people seem to believe you have some kind of right to stick your nose into the affairs of the majority and dictate to us what symbols we should even be allowed to put up. You poor little babies are ''offended'' by our symbols when you live in our nations and everyone bows down to you.

How about a little tolerance by non-Jews of the right of Jews to live and worship in our own country without constantly having this sort of nonsense thrown in our faces? I could have stayed in America for all this. And if trees, etc. are secular, then the Christians will have no problem being rid of them and respecting our wishes, thank you.

So you agree if Iran says "Hanukkah" candles have no place in the Islamic Republic of Iran? Even Iran allows Christmas trees in shops and public places all over the country! But 'the only democracy in the Middle East' doesn't want to, and even worse, many of it's people agree. How very very sad.

Why do we adorn a tree with silver and gold and put presents under it when scripture says not to do it? Go read Jeremia 10:2-4.

No insult from your quarter can change this fact: Israel is a runt beggar state,

Everyone knows that. Probably the (to be) Germans started it all. But I guess that aint gonna help the rabbis feel better about it either.

its an american tradition to have a Christmas tree, if you are offended by one in a hotel, you shouldn't be we tolerate all religions and your displays would not offend me, especially if i were visiting your country. we give gifts to each other to mark the wonderful gift that God gave to us and thats Jesus Christ.

As it is the Jewish religion has an enormous influence on the world,why? simple, because religion is a phycological state of mind,and throughout human civilization,man has always written scrolls and books with one aim in mind,to controll the human mind,so all this lobbying for one or the other is BS,who the hell cares for korsher certification,how about the hotel employee who was prevented from serving an Israeli delegation,because he is Moslem. Where the hell are we going with this religious crap,the people of the world need to let go of this phycological prison known as religion,live a clean moral descent life and put all the religious charlatons out of buisness and out of our lives,and we will be a lot better of,no more manipulaters.

Hostile to Druids now?
