We need to start treating the UN like we do the NFL.
if you go to any school calendar you won’t see Christmas anymore, instead you see winter break. that bothers me more.
nice gersture but who really wants ‘recognition” from an outfit infested with IslamoNazis and anti=American enemy agents?
I’m ok with UN criticism, but I wouldn’t be adverse to Jewish holidays getting a little more press in the U.S. if only for the food.
The newspapers and morning shows always have recipes for Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, etc., let’s see “A Seder For Gentiles” or somesuch on The Today Show.
Since the Jewish religion is huge and such a large percentage of the world’s population................
Who cares what the UN thinks, anyway? Here in America, Yom Kippur is still a party day. One of those many days on our calendar where you get to hang out with your friends and eat good. And drink and be merry, of course. Like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Saint Patrick’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, Easter, Halloween, Memorial Day, Martin Luther King Day and even Quanza. We Americans have come up with plenty of “holiday” excuses to take the day off from work and have a good time.
Eid is a fraudulent Mooselimb "holiday" that fictionalizes the story of Abraham and Ismael, claiming that it was Ishmael -- and not Issac - whom "Ibrahim" brought to sacrifice until angels told him to sacrifice a ram instead. It is a ridiculous insult to Jews. Issac was a grown man when this occurs in Genesis, and it had been 30+ years since Abraham and Sarah had cast our Ishmael and Hagar.
Now Ro'sh HaShanah . . . that would be totally appropriate. Though my personal favorite is Simchat Torah.
It would be fun to see the UN celebrating Purim, though.
