How the Jew stole Christmas

Name: Anonymous 2008-12-23 17:09

Many Jewish kids I heard from were permitted to watch the Grinch every year, yet somehow nobody (including my parents) is able to explain why this is so. Nearly everyone who wrote to me explained that the Boris Karloff version of the Grinch was "a classic."

What surfaces is a universal (and discomfiting) sense that the Grinch is a fundamentally Jewish show because the Grinch himself is a fundamentally Jewish character. I got one e-mail that concluded, "Who is more of a Grinch than a grumpy old Jew?" And a Jew with a heart problem no less?

But why do Jewish parents want to be pushing this peculiarly self-loathing vision of the bitter old Jewish man on their kids? Do we drag our kids to see The Merchant of Venice? If anything, the Grinch-as-old-Jew notion... is the ultimate fantasy for a Jewish kid with a case of Santa/tree/carols envy―Christmas, canceled."

I am >>5, and I do not necessarily agree with you because I wrote >>5 to defend you.
Some of you are still taking non-Jewish people as being destined to become extinct from the earth. The thought is very troublesome, because it is the fundamental belief of your religion. The Talmud says God hates Goys (i.e. non-Jewish people) and some of you really believe they have the right to
exterminate Goys.
Yhwh, God in English, is who and a kind of system that human being created and made contract with for themselves in the present day middle east thousands of years ago. It is silly that people are still bound by the contract that the ancient people, who were primitive in the notion of human rights, exchanged with who they created.
We do not have to instantly abandon the contract with God=Yhwh, but should keep compromising. We should not conflict. The late Pope Jon Paul II was one of the greatest persons in this regard. He was very strict in his own belief but he also knew that dialogue, tolerance and tolerance were more important than anything.
