News War on Christmas Israeli style

Quote:
The mayor of a Jewish suburb of Nazareth sparked outrage on Wednesday after refusing to allow Christmas trees to be placed in town squares, calling them provocative.

I'm sure Fox News will be outraged :blank:

A matter of debate. But, IIUCAC, if someone hadn't killed Jesus, there wouldn't be a Christmas.

I'm pretty sure it was the Romans, not the Israelis, who killed Jesus. Assuming there was a Jesus, of course.

So I :blame: :zombiecaesar:

I think it was the other way around in those days, the Romans had puppets installed in Judea.

I was looking for the general War on Christmas thread, but this one is even better.

Quote:
An Immigration and Absorption Ministry campaign in the United States to convince expatriate Israelis to return has raised the ire of American Jewish groups.

The campaign warns Israelis that if they continue to live in the United States, they or their children are likely to become assimilated.

The drive began at the end of September with billboards in cities with large concentrations of Israelis, including New York, Los Angeles and Palo Alto. The messages included "Before Hanukkah turns into Christmas, it's time to come back to Israel," and "Before Abba turns into Daddy, it's time to come back to Israel."

The ministry then posted videos on its website and other websites with similar messages. One shows a set of Israeli grandparents, a menorah lit behind them, Skyping with their children and granddaughter in the United States. When the grandmother asks the girl if she knows what holiday it is and she answers "Christmas!" the four adults give each other worried looks.

The name Absorption Ministry kind of creeps me out. Am I alone in this?

Well, when the Israeli "Absorption Ministry" starts running around warning Jews that they risk being "assimilated" if they don't return to Israel, it kinda sounds like one massive case of pot-kettle-black. "Return so we can absorb you, or else be absorbed by some other entity."

But the Israeli govt is a veritable smorgasbord of contradictions, so whatever....

They can't absorb the West Bank unless they get more Jews. The Arabs are breeding like rabbits and the Jews are breeding like rabbis.

Actually Greater Israel has two demographic problems. One is the Palestinian population both of Israel proper (citizens) and of Greater Israel (non-citizens) which grows faster than the Jewish population. Two is the Jewish Orthodox population which grows faster than secular Jews (and refuse to do army service or do anything else but pray). The latter is more likely to do them in in the end.

Just in time with the Christmas message:
Quote:
The leader of the right-wing group Lehava, which calls for the expulsion of non-Jews from Israel, has issued a statement that Christians, like Muslims, should be violently removed from the Holy Land.
