Jews are at it again: Airport Christmas trees removed!

SEA-TAC Airport - All 15 Christmas trees inside the terminal at Sea-Tac have been removed in response to a complaint by a rabbi.

A local rabbi wanted to install an 8-foot menorah and have a public lighting ceremony. He threatened to sue if the menorah wasn?t put up, and gave a two-day deadline to remove the trees.

Sea-Tac public affairs manager Terri-Ann Betancourt said the trees that adorn the Sea-Tac upper and lower levels may not properly represent all cultures.

She said that since this is their busiest time of year and they don't have time to add a fair representation of all cultures, her department decided to take down all of the decorations, review their policies, and decide if they need to make a change for next year.

"You know, our focus is on customer service, getting our passengers through the airport, and we thought if we could take the trees down and avoid litigation because we don't want to littigate with this individual, we want to reach some kind of solution," Betancourt said. "But that is going to take some thoughtful discussion and we would like to have time to have that thoughtful discussion."

Until then, no Christmas decor at Sea-Tac.

The same decorations have been put up for at least 10 years, she added.
I love it when 2% of the population can hold the other 98% hostage.

I don't agree with you too often, but I do on this. It's pretty fucking sad when you have to take down a Christmas tree just because it doesn't "properly represent all cultures" and you're afraid of litigation. I swear to God, I'm not racist, anti-semitic, ect...but all these stupid cocksuckers are pushing me towards being that way.

The fair thing to do is make the total size of the displays reflect the actual percentage who follow the religion in the country.

So if you have 250 cubic feet of christmas trees, then you put up 5 cubic feet of Jewish displays.

I know I'm an asshole, and I know I would get sued if I did this, but if he came in and started threating to sue if I didn't put up hit Menorah...I would put it up for him. In the bathroom...the nastiest stall I could find...right in a steaming pile of shit. These lawsuit happy motherfuckers are getting on my nerves.

It was bad enough when everyone had to start saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". Now the fuckers want our trees too.

Happy Holidays is acceptable imo because of the magnitude of different types of religious folk that celebrate this time of year. As for the trees? fucking jewrat mother fuckers need to step off.

Im just amazed someone is offended by a christmas tree.

If all religions don?t get equal representation, how will they convince new people to join their cults?

what the fuck was he going to do if they said 'no' ?

Sue all he wants, he won't win that case.

So you are going to base your whole opinion of the Jewish religion on one fucking rabbi, who is probably just on a power trip? Do you honestly believe for a second the rabbi is speaking for anyone but himself? Meanwhile most of the problems we run into in the adult industry are caused by the religious right, and it certainly isn't the Jewish religious right. I haven't seen too many rabbi's protesting porn, passing ridiculous 2257 restrictions, or making life hell in the adult industry in general. I ran adult bookstores for over 10 years and while I had numerous church groups protest in front of my stores I never once had a synagogue protest.

It wouldn't have happened a hundred years ago.

Add in all the catering to Spanish speaking people, and you no longer have a melting pot in this country, you have a fragmented society, a tossed salad.

Our culture is being diluted.

Finally.

Jews start to get a bad rap for telling everyone they're Jewish.

Maybe the blacks and queers will learn from that and stop bringing attention to themselves and act like the Mexicans and just shut the fuck up and try and quietly assimilate themselves into a dominant demographic.

Do They Have Menorahs In Airports in Israel?

There's more than one definition for the word "Foot". You should look up the size of a regulation football, you might figure out why it's called a football... :2 cents:

No one made anyone start saying Happy Holidays. And I do like it better than Merry Christmas where business is concerned.

RawAlex 12-10-2006 11:17 PM

"happy holidays" isn't a bad thing to say... but I have a real issue when symbols of MY holidays (I have no real religion, but come on, it's christmas for fuck's sake) are taken down to avoid offending a group, or by not offering equal time to another group, well...

political correctness taken to the stupid level.

It is totally, totally stupid that a holiday that has been celebrated in public for hundreds of years in the US is suddenly "naughty".

Is the Whitehouse still going to have a tree, or is that off the list too?

PC = Stupid shit.

Yes, whatever happened to the good ole days when the christian principle of "might makes right" ruled. Who are these uppety minorities who request equal treatment in public buildings anyway?

Just for the record angry good ole boys, SeaTac wasn't forced to remove the Christmas trees. They CHOSE to remove them rather than put up symbols of any other religious holiday; a not-insignificant clarification of the facts.

I think all religions are pure bullshit, including Judaism. But if we are going to have religions, let's at least agree that they should all be on equal footing, since they all have the exact same amount of evidence that their god is the one true god - namely absolutely none whatsoever.

Corona 12-10-2006 11:20 PM

I'm glad the trees are gone and the sooner that we get rid of all religions the better.

Yeah, but in cases like this "boo hoo" eventually becomes backlash and suffering. It's a shame. The Christmas trees weren't bothering anyone. Are people REALLY that offended by Christmas symbols?

I dont think the issue is wether a Menorah should be put up or not - most Jews that I know in no way want Chanukah to be seen as a Jewish form of Christmas. The issue is what is Christmas - it seems to me to be a Christian holiday - so why should the trees that have come to represent Christmas have to be removed?

In my part of Toronto, which is in the Beaches area, we have a large South Asian population very close to us that celebrates all their religious and cultural holidays by welcoming everyone to come out and celebrate along with them. Can you imagine if during the Hindu Festival of Lights, people were to complain that the lights do not represent all cultures. No one would do a thing, and rightfully so - it's a Hindu holiday, not a Christian or Jewish or Muslim holiday.

But you take a bunch of Christians who want to put up a tree to celebrate their Christmas holiday and all hell breaks loose.

Happy Holidays my ass.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

"O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie grün sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie grün sind deine Blätter!


O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat schon zur Winterszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!"

:thumbsup

The rabbi needs to get a life, it's just a holiday decoration. The majority of the U.S. is Christian, therefore there is nothing wrong with displaying CHRISTmas trees in an airport, IMHO.
