Yet... In Nazareth Illit, the Jewish mayor has forbidden the display of Christmas trees... *** "Nazareth Illit is a Jewish city and it will not happen--not this year and not next year, so long as I am a mayor," Mayor Shimon Gapso said.
Arab Christians, who make up about 7 percent of the town's 40,000 residents, were denied their request to put up Christmas trees in their neighborhoods. ***
You may recall a connection between the town of Nazareth and the man millions of us were taught was called "the Nazarene", and "Jesus of .... NAZARETH"...
Yet, the Jewish mayor of that town has absolutely forbidden the display of Christmas trees.
Nazareth Illit is the "Jewish" city built on land taken by force by Jews from the real town of Nazareth (the real town of legend in our history). Nazareth Illit is mostly Jewish; with about a 30% Christian/Muslim minority.
Yet, literally across the street, in the actual town of Nazareth, 100% "Muslim", Christmas trees are on display everywhere. That city, the REAL Nazareth, has about a 50% Christian population, and the MUSLIMS there, including the official government of Nazareth, have erected and display DOZENS OF PUBLIC CHRISTMAS TREES...
I wonder why you guys don't talk about this? Hmmmm... http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2010/12/israeli-mayor-bans-christmas-trees/18141/
I guess quoting an obscure "Islamic scholar" that no-one has ever heard of is far better for pro-Israel, pro-war propaganda purposes than quoting a right-wing Jewish mayor of a town built on land taken by force from Palestinians...
And "Atlas Shrugged" (a lunatic right-wing Jewish activist's site) didn't post when one of the LEADING RABBIS IN ISRAEL said that IDF soldiers should leave any event that has women singing, "EVEN IF THEY ARE FACING A FIRING SQUAD OUTSIDE!"
Israel has always been Jewish land. Who built Masada? Who build Gamla? Who did the Romans fight there repeatedly? Why is it that Jewish artifacts are found there and not Muslim ones?
As for banning Christmas decorations, well, Israel is not our country. The left banning Christmas here in the United States is a much bigger problem because it does effect us. After they ban Christmas, what next? A Jewish town banning Christmas decorations has no effect on us.
While I don't believe Israel should be elevated above the US in terms of priority, Israel is the one reason that Iraq is not armed with nuclear weapons, and why Iran's nuclear program is being whittled away in mysterious explosions.
NO IT HASN'T!!! And people who support such foolish statements are the reason that war never ends in the Middle East. Israel exists because a lot of foreigners from Europe invaded the area and ethnically cleansed the local Arab population, driving them by the hundreds of thousands from their ancestral homelands. Any other view is simply lying propaganda to justify Zionist expansion at the expense of the actual natives. SOME parts of "Israel" were inhabited by SOME Jews at various points in history. Does that mean that ALL of Israel is somehow magically transformed into the EXCLUSIVE "land of the Jews"??? Why is it acceptable to confiscate at gunpoint land owned and inhabited by non-Jews and give it Jews for their exclusive use? We call that racism and ethnic cleansing in every other nation...
Brock contrast this with a link I found "Take one Bibi a Day...

Yes, die rather than listen to women sing...
Why no story about that??? Ha! We all know why...
