"There is a concern here that the Jewish community will be portrayed as the Grinch."

Not the whole Jewish community... just that one asshole Rabbi and his scruple-free lawyer.

It is insulting though that they'd rather take down the trees than put up a menorah. It's not the rabbi that made them do that. They could have had both, but they decided to take the trees down. I don't think there's anything wrong with what the rabbi requested. Now...threatening to sue is another story. I don't agree with that, but a huge public airport shouldn't "support" only one religion. They could decorate with a holiday theme without just being oriented towards christmas. Just my 2 cents. (no jewish penny pinching pun intended)

It's all part of the "War against Christmas". This shit happens every year in various forms all over the country.

The airport in Seattle made this decision in order to avoid a lawsuit...

It's a shame.

Happy Kwanzaa Claus.

If you read the article, the decision was made to prevent a dozen other religions from coming after them and making them have something from each one. I can't blame them for just saying "screw it".

My wife is Jewish, I spent the day yesterday downloading Christmas music and the evening singing half of them. She's not stupid enough to complain about others celebrating in their religion. In fact Jewish people as a whole, from the temple we go to embrace other peoples religion. The Rabbi knows damn well that I have no intention to convert to Judaism, but I took the classes with my wife when she converted and have met with him many times. Nice guy - Interesting religion, but it's not for me. I think it's a very small group of Hardcore Concervative Jews that are the problem. Not ALL jews.

This is just like calling all Islamic folks terrorists, when we know that really only about 99% of them are laugh

"The Night before Kwanzaa"

Twas the night before Kwanzaa
And all through the 'hood,
Maulana Karenga was up to no good.

He'd tortured a woman and spent time in jail.
He needed a new scam that just wouldn't fail.
("So what if I stuck some chick's toe in a vice?
Nobody said revolution was nice!")

The Sixties were over. Now what would he do?
Why, he went back to school -- so that's "Dr." to you!"
He once ordered shootouts at UCLA
Now he teaches Black Studies just miles away.

Then to top it all off, the good Doctor's new plan
Was to get rid of Christmas and piss off "The Man".

Karenga invented a fake holiday.
He called the thing Kwanza. "Hey, what's that you say?"

"You don't get what's 'black' about Maoist baloney?
You say that my festival's totally phony?"

"Who cares if corn isn't an African crop?
Who cares if our harvest's a month or two off?
Who cares if Swahili's not our mother tongue?
A lie for The Cause never hurt anyone!"

"Umoja! Ujima! Kujichagulia, too!
Collectivist crap never sounded so cool!
Those guilty white liberals -- easy to fool.
Your kids will now celebrate Kwanzaa in school!"

And we heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight:
"Happy Kwanzaa to all, except if you're white!"

I'm Russian but I'm Christian. I was born Christian and all my predecessors were Christian as well.

Where I live I often times see Russian Jews act just like that in everyday living. Those are the same people that came here as "refugees" and are not willing to learn the language, not willing to support America and are not even willing to work at times. A lot of them sit on Welfare (older folks, but come on! 45-50 is not that old and you can still work, otherwise why are you here??) That's where my tax dollars go, and yous too...

Seeing shit like this seriously makes me ashamed of even having the word Russian associated with people like that. I don't hate them and I don't have anything against then. I just don't have anything to do with them eather. Period.

Fuckin' shame. :rolleyes:

FUCK X-mas, Fuck Kwanza, Fuck Hannukah...there is only one festive season:

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?

Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born … a Festivus for the rest of us!

Cosmo Kramer: That must've been some kind of doll.

Frank Costanza: She was.

Sorry to interrupt the Jew bashing, but I really don't see the Rabbi as the bad guy here. He didn't declare war on Christmas, he just wanted to be included. The Port (or whatever) is acting childish.



My workplace however did declare war on Christmas. In past years, we had a huge 12' tree with 'presents' as well as a table with a menorah, dreidels & geld. The receptionist would come in the day after Thanksgiving (on her own time) & set everything up. She even bought a lot of the decorations herself.

This year, HR told her she could not decorate at all. Instead, they (had someone) put a large lighted wreath on the wall behind the receptionit's desk that covers the company logo.

In addition, they circulated a memo that limited us to generic decorations only & nothing that plugs in.

Of course I'm sitting here right now with battery-powered lights taped all around my monitor. laugh

My way of saying Merry Xmas, dammit! [Finger]

The best part of Festivus is the "airing of grievances" and the "Feats of strength".

FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!!!!

Yes yes... and he expressed his wish to be included in the traditional Jewish way - by threatening a lawsuit :rolleyes:

Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky, who made his request weeks ago, said he was appalled by the decision. He had hired a lawyer and threatened to sue if the Port of Seattle didn't add the menorah next to the trees, which had been festooned with red ribbons and bows.
Yes he did threaten. Not really the spirit of the Holidays kind of fellow.
