It has nothing to do with Israel. Christmas in most cultures wasn't a huge holiday either until american retailers made it big in the early 1900s. In fact in Europe....Christmas was a strictly religious holiday even into the 5os and 60s in Holland etc. They did gifts on st Nicholas day December 5. Although boe they have also taken on the american christmas |

My point is that Spider-Pig is claiming to have absolute knowledge of American Jewish customs when his "knowledge" is clearly wrong. In this context, it serves to make a larger point about how he seems to have absolutely no knowledge of what he's banging on about. After all, he just told me that the dozen-odd Chanukah presents I received at a Chanukah party were actually "repackaged Christmas presents" because, as he condescendingly explained, the Chanukah party I personally attended didn't actually exist since Spider-Pig knows more about Judaism than the actual Jews who hosted said party. Not to mention that it is unclear whether you are asking about his religion or his ethnicity. WMATA denied that there was any such thing as a "Jewish ethnicity," so I've been going with his assessment that Judaism refers only to a religion. |

Posted by Nilet on Mon May 26 18:11:46 2014, in response to Re: Voter ID: Aha!, posted by Spider-Pig on Mon May 26 14:50:36 2014. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, I guess.You said: Gift-giving has never been a Chanukah tradition. This is manifestly not the case, as I have received Chanukah presents every year for two decades, almost as if it were, you know, a tradition. You also declared, re: my Chanukah presents: Those were essentially Christmas presents repackaged as Chanukah presents. So you denied that I received Chanukah presents, you denied the tradition I participated in, and you declared that a couple dozen Jews were actually celebrating Christmas. So I snarked that you denied the Chanukah party existed, because that's the next logical step. By the way, it's nice to know exactly how antisemitic you really are. I'll take your delusional ranting in the Passover thread even less seriously now. |

Spider-Pig declared, categorically: "Gift-giving has never been a Chanukah tradition."This is manifestly not the case, as proven by my stash of Chanukah presents, which Spider-Pig insisted are actually Christmas presents despite the fact that I received them for Chanukah by people who didn't and would never celebrate Christmas. How, exactly, is it not claiming absolute knowledge to declare that my personal experience is invalid because he "knows" for a fact that no Jews ever give Chanukah presents? Or, given what you said about the cheeseburger in the Passover thread, maybe you'd claim it's antisemitic that they (and I) celebrated Chanukah in a manner not compliant with your and/or Spider-Pig's dictates. |

You wanted to know my race because you declared the validity of my arguments was determined by the colour of my skin.
