It's the War on Hanukkah again...

[PCIntern]

Yep… This time every year as in the spring for Passover, the antisemites and Holocaust deniers come out of the woodwork and declare war on Jewish holidays. From the school which denied the mother of the elementary school child the ability to discuss Hanukkah with the class, to the Amazon decision to keep a blood libel video in its catalog, we see the elements of a blitzkrieg against Judaism.

The pain which these bigots feel because they cannot deny the fact that Judaism was a monotheistic faith which preceded their own, and gave rise to their son of God and prophet Jesus, cannot be described, so what they do is disperse their hate like shotgun blasts against Jews. The other thing which gets to them is the Jews don’t proselytize among Gentiles and this makes them doubly nuts.

But here’s the rub: they hate us but grudgingly admit that if they need a lawyer to get them out of a serious charge or an accountant to rescue their sorry asses from the IRS, or a doctor to save their child’s life via an intricate methodology of treatment or invent a vaccine to prevent say, polio (both Salk and Sabin were Jewish), they need a “Jew”.

But I leave you with my favorite: in 2000 Sports Illustrated named its Athlete of the Century: Sandy Koufax, the Jew who would not pitch on Yom Kippur.

And to “quote” Ari Melber “quoting” the artist formerly known as Kanye West: “Fuck these fucking fuckers straight to fucking Hell”.

1. I'm not a Jew

I hope the Jews amongst us experience great joy as they honor their traditions with family and friends.

Happy Hannukkah!!!

3. It's Hanukkah whether you're Jewish or not

Not being Jewish doesn't stop Hanukkah from Happening. So Happy Hanukkah to all of us!! Now pass the latkes!

4. By coincidence, I recently watched the movie The Hebrew Hammer

I saw it when it came out and thought it was very funny. It hasn't aged well (comedy rarely does), but it's still amusing.

The relevance is that he's on a mission to save Hanukkah from Santa's evil son, who has murdered Santa and wants to destroy Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.
