First one blaming the Christians:

Second one blaming the Jews:

Rabbi Boteach says "passive Christmas displays like "Merry Christmas" signs and Nativity scenes ought to be allowed in public places, but not active displays that would have Jewish youth in public schools forced to sing "O Holy Night,".
Seems to me this is exactly what the gripe is for us Christians. We've been singing Christmas songs for hundreds of years and folks like him and the ACLU are condemning us for doing so. No, not just condemning, they're stopping us from doing so. How can he make an argument that we are over reacting and accusing him of doing something that he isn't doing when he states in plain English that he is doing it?
Rabbi Boteach, if you haven't noticed, our children have been singing Jewish songs along with the Christian songs. I haven't been telling my children to close their ears. As a matter of fact, I believe Christmas is a good time to educate our children about the different faiths and the need to respect other beliefs.
Mr. Prelutsky makes a good argument. Jews are acting like grinches, as is shown by Rabbi Boteach's comments.
We are a Judeo/Christian country and we need to be proud of it and celebrate it.
Think of all the things that come from those religions that influence our society.
> The calendar
> The year (date)
> Ten Commandments
> In God we Trust
> The day of rest (Sunday for those of you who don't know)
> Christmas
> Thanksgiving
and more
Christmas is a Federal holiday. Easter is celebrated widely. Thanksgiving is a Federal holiday.
We have had these traditions for hundreds of years and suddenly there are people, not many, but a few screaming loudly, to get rid of our Christian ways. They want to remove Christianity from the public square, to force it behind closed church doors.
Rabbi Boteach, it wan't just "initially" that you were criticized for calling people "ignorant peasants", you are still being criticized for it.
I don't see how you think you can get away with calling people that? On public TV?
Wow, if that's what you say in public I cringe at the thought of what you say behind closed doors.
