The holiday is very real, and has existed forever. It’s not an American Jew invention.

Traditionally Hanukkah was a minor Jewish holiday (unlike Christmas which is major for Christians). Jewish parents and groups trying to assimilate artificially elevated the holiday and added gifts, making it seem more important than it really is, so their kids wouldn’t feel so left out.

I always figured the Lefts hatred of Christianity was due to the Left’s strong support of abortion and LGB marriage, with Christianity being logical opposition.

Also, there are Leftists who hate Christianity irrationally for other reasons, too, like holding an irrational, historical grudge against the Church for an action it did hundreds of years ago. That’s Retarded

Bottom line, I think it’s expedience that the Left hates Christianity now, not some top down order from the overlord / conspiracy theory.

Cringey is citing incorrect numbers. More Jews vote Trump than that. More Jews donate big dollars to KAG than that.

Plus, is it really ‘pandering’ to wish people Happy Hanukkah? WGAF?

It boosts: bagels at all meals, and the biggest circumcision ward on the East coast.

listening to people on the internet or social media is very similar to listening to drunks. Actually the discourses of the two are very similar to one another. either way, It’s fun at first, but eventually it get tiresome.

It’s so important to respect elders (parents) that it’s one of the Ten Commandments.

I’m hoping we can get back to that place. Why? Our ideas are better, but the Left is dug in irrationally, further fortified by the media. If the Left would just be a little more open minded- it would be easier to KAG
