Knesset Speaker Snubs Israeli Christian Population, Refuses to Put Up Tree |

Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Mon Dec 23 13:01:12 2013 A very unfortunate decision for state that is supposed to be a beacon of religious freedom among its religiously intolerant neighbors. |

I wouldn't have minded if they had allowed the pagan symbol, but Jews in Israel have more dire reason than most not to honor a symbol of Christian idolotry. Many if not most Jews living in Israel are there because of the huge dose of Christian love and tolerance they received over centuries. |

That's not going to go over very well with the evangelicals over here and will be seen as the "war on Christmas" given that those words already are taken as meaning Jews down south. :( |

When the Vatican puts a Menorah in St. Peter's Square on Hanukkah, then Israel will put up a tree in the Knesset. |

Ah, I get it now. Jews should put up Christmas trees in Israel to keep Mike Huckabee from accusing them of making War on Christmas. OK. Sounds fair. Now what should Jews do to counter the accusation that we baked little Hugh of Lincoln into our matzohs? |

They actually have for many years now. It's not as likely you'll see it during Papal coverage this year, as the two holidays dates were not even clse to convergent this year, but rest assured they have been doing that for at 10 years that I can remeber back to seeing one. |

There are plenty of Jews in Rome. Why can't the Vatican put up a Menorah to honor them? While its true that the Vatican operates as its own city-state, don't tell me that it doesn't rely on Rome for basic operations, such as electric, sewer, water...I personally believe that a tree is OK, because its not a Christian symbol, its a pagan symbol that the early Church fathers borrowed. |

The Vatican is a purely religious state. While the State of Israel has a foundation in religion, it is a secular state. So the analogy doesn't hold. On the other hand, I don't see any real reason for the Knesset to put up a tree either. |

While its true that the Vatican operates as its own city-state, don't tell me that it doesn't rely on Rome for basic operations, such as electric, sewer, water. . . and lots of European countries depend on Russia for gas and oil.
