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.

I doubt it, a airport official over reacted to the threatened lawsuit, this isn't a case of religious symbols being removed, it is a case of a realpolitik airport company dumping christmas trees.

And in a away it does show how far we hfallen here, this idea that "the jews" are somehow responsible for the anti christian sentiment that permeates many institutions inside the US.

IT'S THE LIBERALS! who are doing that sort of stuff.

Please forgive the double ping on this thread.

"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."

As a member of the "Religious Right," I disagree. Those in my camp who support Israel, do so for reasons eternal, and certainly convictions much more deep that our dedication should be swayed by what amounts to a temporal skirmish in America's culture wars.

That being said, the on-site rep. for Chabad.org, Alouette, has gone to great lengths apologizing for this misunderstanding in behalf of Orthodox Judaism (which I'm sure the one Rabbi who started this has already heard an earful from his peers).

She represents Judaism in our eyes, especially here at Free Republic. Not this gentleman.

So the only reason the Religious Right supports Israel is because the Jews in America take a subservient stance regarding them?

Is that how it's supposed to work?

"notorious liberal jewish lawyers...."


can someone explain to me how a jewish person can be an atheist and at the same time a jew? (is it that they like to hide behind judaism when someone disagrees with them?)

I think the *Religious Right* has much more intelligence and awareness than you give them credit for. They are more than capable of distinguishing between the actions of one out of mainstream individual and the group as a whole.

Yup. I said that earlier today on another thread and a newbie signed on just to call me Goebels.
