11. Sharon Lynn - Israel 12/25/2005 17:35 re: TYPO Reading back my 'Talkback' I realize that there is an awful typo. I had meant to say, that singing Christmas Carols in school DID NOT MAKE ME A GOY. Judy's has taught her children intolerance of other faiths; and worse, ignorance of their own faith. If they were comfortable with their Jewishness Christmas carols, Santa Claus, etc.would not be threatening. Once again, Judy Maltz, the majority of Americans are Christians and they want to celebrate their holidays in peace and tranquility. In Israel we are free to practice our own holidays in the public arena. So, either come back to Israel, or move to a largely Jewish community and send your kids to Jewish Day Schools. If that's not your choice, then sit back and enjoy the fruits of multiculturalism. Isn't that why you decided to move to the U.S.A.?

This is a post on the article at the Jerusalem Post. It doesn't look like she is getting much support from Israel either.

you people have made a mockery of what a Christian response should be.

Happy Kwanzaa!

Don't piss off kitty, pal.

She states that she is familiar with the lyrics of Silent Night; if she is, she certainly doesn't understand their meaning. She even objects to her child singing Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and, of all things, a Jewish children's song!!! It's almost as though she were intent on complaining about something, anything. Perhaps she missed Israel more than she wanted to admit.

"At the end of this Millennium the Catholic Church desires to express her deep sorrow for the failures of her sons and daughters in every age. This is an act of repentance (teshuva), since, as members of the Church, we are linked to the sins as well as to the merits of all her children."
Pope John Paul II

"A little common courtesy and respect from the side of the school authorities would have gone a long way, and you people have made a mockery of what a Christian response should be."

You don't seem to have too sure a grasp of "common courtesy", or "respect".

Not to mention that your own particular brand of BIGOTRY, and religious prejudice, is showing, cupcake.

Our third child, Iddo, then five years old, pleaded with us to dress up our house like all the others. Those lights are for Christmas, we tried to explain to him, and Jewish people don't celebrate Christmas. "Not even one teeny, tiny light?" he begged.

Poor little Iddo.

If only his parents had the grandeur of vision to open a Mexican restaurant, he could have had Christmas lights all year.

Maybe we should take into consideration how we would feel if there were songs praising Mohammed as the prophet of Islam.

[Alouette]

to not understand why a Jewish kid might not be able to participate in caroling

Listen up, Mr. Hanky.

As others could tell you, I am one of the jewiest Jews on Free Republic.

I learned to sing Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht and O Tannenbaum on my nanny's knees, and my nanny was echts Deutsche (German Christian who fled Hitler in the 1930's)

Guess what? I DIDN'T DIE and I DIDN'T LOSE MY JUDAISM over these songs. When I was a teenager I belonged to a "folk singing group" and we had gigs in hospitals and old age homes where we sang Christmas carols.

This liberal whiney-pants has screwed her kids up so bad not only by getting a reputation as "The Gritch (that's a combo of "grinch" and "beyotch") Who Stole Christmas" but she has also transgressed the original GOLDEN RULE as taught by Hillel: Do not do to others what would be hateful if done to you.

Now, run along and play with the chunk of coal that Santa left in your panty hose.

"...I've known people like Judy Maltz...." And we she leaves a room everyone says, 'how does her husband put up with her?'

I once knew a couple like Judy Maltz! Both he and she.

When they left the room, everyone says "they deserve each other!"

Almost all of the Bible was written by Jews, Jesus was a Jew, the apostles were Jews, the early church was Jewish. Herod killed even members of his own family and the Romans used crucifixtion and Roman soldiers crucified Jesus.

Jesus laid down his life of His own accord. It was for our sins He died. We all share the guilt of the cruxifiction.

[GOPPachyderm]

The Messianic Jews that I know are those who believe that Jesus is the Messiah. I don't believe they hate anyone.

Maybe we should take into consideration how we would feel if there were songs praising Mohammed as the prophet of Islam.

I wouldn't be bothered by it, so long as where I was was a predominately Muslim area. What else should I expect?

Apparently the cow who penned this garbage has never hear of community standards or local tradition.

[pcottraux]

No, everything has to change when they show up to accomodate them.

[GOPPachyderm]

I see your point.

[Salem]

"...Dominionist bigots and End-of-the-World tribulationists aren't really the friends of Israel, as the hateful responses on this thread have shown...."

And, new guy, which particular "hateful responses" on this thread do you attribute to "Dominionist bigots and End-of-the-World tribulationists"? Or do you just hate members of the faith community here at Free Republic?

(Like I need to ask.)

Admin Moderator this individual's one month posting history is replete with denigrating, obnoxious, rude, and offensive comments directed to various members of the established Free Republic community; and at the least are unproductive and a waste of bandwidth.

I will leave this to your discretion.
