@weaselx86 @TonyStark @dukepaaron @RedtheBean Please stop. Blaming a minority for hatred against it is in itself a form of hatred. It's manipulative and denies the agency of the people spreading the hate. 'Antisemitism wouldn't be so prevalent if Netanyahu would stop killing Palestinians' or 'we wouldn't hate the gays if they weren't so in our face about it' are both hateful statements.

My non-Jewish friends, do you find yourself feeling awkward when a #Jew wishes you a #MerryChristmas? Unsure what to say? Let me help you!

When a Jew wishes you a Merry Christmas, think of it like them wishing you a Happy Anniversary or Happy Birthday. It's a good wish to you, and to you alone.

Don't wish them a Merry Christmas back. If someone wishes you a Happy Birthday and you know it's not their birthday, you don't need to wish them a Happy Birthday back!

Don't mention Hanukkah. If someone wishes you and your spouse a Happy Anniversary, you don't need to say "Didn't you and your partner recently have an anniversary too?"

Wishing them Happy Holidays is OK, but unnecessary. If someone wishes you a Happy Birthday you don't need to say "I hope you have a good day too!"

Just say thank you!

Just returned from the annual Christmas Even Chinese buffet. I’m stuffed. There were a lot of people there, and I’m pretty sure none of them were Jewish. Is this another case of ?

The Florida state government is opting to starve poor children by not accepting federal funding earmarked for providing them food.

When I see conservatives beat the podium over "protecting children," their desire to starve children should be an obvious subtext indicating that they're liars.

Their "protection" consists of a fist to any child's face who happens to be of a demographic they despise.

And u.s. conservatives hate the poor, especially if they're not white.

@dukepaaron So far all my cousin is saying about the tunnel under Chabad is that basically everyone is pissed at everyone else. The doors were locked to avoid everyone getting Covid. 🤷‍♀️

Me: But Jesus, during my darkest times, there are only one set of footprints in the sand?

Jesus: Oh, that’s when I ran to the liquor store for you.

How good has the economy been since the month President Biden took office? Pick your indicator—every one of them is headed in exactly the right direction. That's probably why the Republican Party’s lies about the economy are getting so conspicuously mind-bogglingly stupid, and why even far-right pollster Rasmussen (Trump’s favorite among the larger polling outfits) has President Biden all the way up to a 46% approval rating—which in this country, in this year, is practically a Christmas miracle -SethAbramson

"Republicans had many opportunities to say 'this is not right, this is not who we are,'" says Molly Jong-Fast of the Trump's behavior. "Instead they said, 'no, I don't want to deal with this' ... by doing that, they made this democracy's problem." Velshi

Of course.
There is one main difference of course. AFAIK, there are no countries where theists are persecuted by an atheist government.
China and the USSR were exceptions, but that is no longer.
And please don't give me Falun Gong and Uighurs. That is the totalitarian state persecuting what it believes are political opponents.

@Urban_Hermit it has sensational empathy allowing it to delve into the minds of humans to determine our innermost goals...and it CHOOSES to target children of all things...

I'm just glad it only hunts once a year.

@mentallyalex @AlliFlowers

Face it. He's the God of the culling. The village has made it past midwinter, the elders know how much food is left, how many people it will last for. If there isn't enough, the families who have had too many children will have to decide who goes with the man in red.

Redistributing the left over toys afterward is just cruel.
