Default Jews Strive To Restore Christmas Trees At Seattle Airport

The issue isn't that the Rabbi wanted the Christmas ornaments removed,
but he wanted representation of his religion a this public facility.

That request was denied, even though the last Supreme Court case on the
subject agreed with the Rabbi.

The fact that the airport management took down the Christmas ornaments
leads me to believe that they knew they were in violation of that ruling
. Why didn't they simply allow the Menorah to be displayed? Could it be
they are anti-semitic


Could it be because the official national holiday is Christmas, not
Hannukah? Putting up a menorrah for Christmas makes no more sense than
putting up an Easter Bunny for Halloween. Wrong holiday.

Should there be a Jewish holiday? Should the US have a holiday for the
Eid that ends Ramadan? Maybe. But that's another issue. We have a
holiday that celebrates Christmas and like it our not this is a
Christian holiday. If someone doesn't like it he doesn't have to
participate. But unless you want to try to ban Christmas then people
should grow up and leave it alone.
