Happy Chanukah, Debbie! Here in New York the Empire State Building was lit in blue last night, it was a gorgeous sight and it will be for eight days!!!

Debbie–
“Minor” holiday though it may be, commemorating those who refused to assimilate to the Greek ways, and thus arguably saving Judaism, it seems pretty important to me.
As to present day Maccabees, you would top a very small list.
Happy Hanukkah from this Catholic, as we look forward to celebrating the birth of the greatest Jew of all time!

Debbie, Happy Hanukkah. I checked out the TMF website for you, and it’s not a pretty picture. It looks like a tiny group of unattractive ModOx’ers who haven’t had any fun since the Nixon administration. Anyway, if we got rid of the mosque now we wouldn’t have anything to look forward to in the world to come.

Dear Debbie;
I agree with you. Where the hell are all the contemporary Maccabees? Where are all the people who love Israel? I can’t understand why the Jews are hated by so many people in the first place.
Another thing that I don’t get is why the good people of Israel are not rioting in the streets over this obviously anti-Jew; anti-Israel; stupid Annapolis Conference.
And you’ve got Olmert, etc. trying to negotiate with scum bags who won’t even shake your hand.
Think about that. The Arabs really hate your guts. They want you to die. Right now! And you, like some true blue idiot, are trying to make peace.
And then there is Bush, andRice, French kissing every Muslim ass that they can get their lips on.
These people are disgusting.
Sincerely;
EJO
