If the Religious Right in this country perceives that the Jewish religion is assaulting it (as opposed to the notorious liberal jewish lawyers that routinely do so), support for Israel itself will plummet like a rock.

Speaking only for myself, it the display, actually the attempt to display, a menorah at an airport causes the "religious" right to dease their support of Israel, their support was never anything but a large, smelly pile of you know what.

Who is opposed to the display of a menorah? Only airport officials, as far as I can see.

Seattle is a liberal hotbed, the Emerald City in the Land of Oz. It's Seattle officials who made the decision to remove the trees rather than display a menorah, not conservative Christians.

That's not going to happen. :)

You're overanalyzing it. It was a threat to sue for removal of the trees unless a menorrah was also displayed. In the minds of gentiles, that threat got the Christmas trees removed.

I doubt many of the gentiles would have opposed seeing a menorrah, but that's not the point. What sinks in is that a Jewish Rabbi got a SECULAR symbol of Christmas removed. If you don't think that has caused resentment, you're wrong.

And if you don't think gentile support of Israel is important, you're wrong again.

Well if it's not a movie or voting patterns, and who knows what else, at least we go down with a Menorah.

Chin up. It's conservative Jews and Christians against the world.

You seem ever ready to constantly condemn Christians, as if they are the eternal "enemies" of the Jews.

Amazing that you are still allowed to spew your constant anti-Christianity rants here.

If you think that all the indignation over this scumbag, lawsuit-happy rabbi is coming only from the "religious right", you're nuts.

Have you seen any Christians who are opposed to displaying a menorah? Anywhere? At any time? I haven't.
