Funny thing is, the Christmas tree really isn't a religious symbol.

I saw the complaining rabbi interviewed, by O'Reilly, and the rabbi said he didn't want the Christmas trees taken down. He only wanted a minora put on display as well as the trees. He said it was BS for them to take the trees down, and his complaint was misrepresented in the MSM. Surprise surprise!
Why do we hate Christians and Jews?

Would it have been so hard to get himself a beautiful menorah and sit it somewhere nice, for everyone to feel the ahava of the holiday season, and save us all this drama?

I think the airport folks' contention was if they did that, they'd be putting up some symbol for every religion out there and it would be less hassle for everyone if they just didn't put up anything.

I'm not agreeing, I'm just saying that's what I read about it.

The one at our office is... because the Jewish guys hang tiny menorahs on it (really).

It just goes to show you...

The Christians and the Jews can get along...

The rest need to figure out we aren't against them living on Earth...we just would like them to quit saying they are going to kill everyone.

KISS....

Keep it simple STUPID !

I'm glad the Trees are back...

I'm OK with the Menorah too...
