Catholics displeased that Florida is full of ‘Joo’s

Did you know that Boca Raton isn’t 130% Jewish, and that the average resident’s age isnt 107?

This may be the best story that Hanukkah will offer. A Catholic civil rights group is all up in arms because  Boca bought and put up menorahs in public offices, sans Jesus nativity scene. For a minute I’m going to ignore the fact that these two symbols are in no way equal. Jesus = God, all power being. Menorah = dinky candle holder to commemorate a fictional (and relatively small) miracle.

What I won’t ignore is the Bush League logic these Catholics use to claim discrimination.

“The City of Boca Raton is effectively discriminating against Christians by allowing one religious symbol, namely the menorah, to be displayed in public buildings, while censoring nativity scenes,” Catholic League President Bill Donahue said in a statement issued Tuesday.

So is Jesus’ nativity scene just a religious ‘symbol’? Do I not understand X-mas, being a heathen Jew and all? Someone explain to me how the Catholic League can be more whiny than all the elderly Jewish Boca residents that are members of the anti-Defamation League.

“If you’re going to have, in public buildings, a Jewish religious symbol and Christians are told to settle for their secular symbol, that’s a form of discrimination and that’s an affront to the sensibilities of Christians in Boca Raton,” Donahue told the Sun-Sentinel.

I’m gonna have to out on a limb here and assume that Donahue is a dumb motherfucker who doesn’t know a single Rabbi that can explain Judaism to him. The menorah is as religious as the dreidel is fun. There is a reason why Hannukah is the most popular Jewish holiday. I’ll give you a clue: It’s not because of Jesus.
