Do we not have our own holidays, our own traditions? Do we need to (if even in a secular fashion) pay tribute to a holiday that was traditionally marked by pogroms and other displays of Anti-Semitism, and just plain rooted in paganism? Should we engage in the frenzy of excess that many engage in during December, and then suffer the feelings of guilt, not to mention the consequences of financial irresponsibilty, that come in January? I have nothing against other people`s belief system who choose to practice their religion as long as they dont force it on me. That said, I see the concept of a Jewish Christmas as non-sensical as a Jewish Easter. Christmas originated as a pagan holiday, and continues to be so to this day.

We do not celebrate various Hindu holidays, so to celebrate the holidays of our persecutors is not only foolish, either; Hinduism, like Christianity, claims to worship one god in three forms (other pagan thing). I do not care what other religions do, as long as it is not forced on me; I am not their judge, their monitor, nor do I...

At a time where Zionism is defamed and slandered, this article sets out the truth. I am a Zionist. I believe that the Jewish people established itself in the Land of Israel, albeit somewhat late. Had it listened to the alarm clock, there would have been no Holocaust, and my dead grandfather – the one I was named after – would have been ...
