Default Jews Strive To Restore Christmas Trees At Seattle Airport

Mike Hunt writes:

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


Christmas is a secular holiday in the United States. Jewish and
Muslim and other religious holidays are not. If one religious holiday
is acknowledge, they all must be. Christmas is not included because
it's not really a religious holiday in the U.S. (really just a time to
have parties and food and presents).

Of course, with events like this, antisemitism is only encouraged, or
sometimes perhaps even engendered where it didn't exist before.
