Dec.18, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Christmas is a time of the year the devout Christians wait the whole year for. For some Christians it is the ideal occasion for reunion with close ones and relatives. It is considered by many people as a festive and auspicious occasion replete with gift sharing and enjoying yummy mouthwatering dishes. However, there are some people who do not think of this festive season in such glorious terms. For some Jews including those living in Jerusalem Christmas is nothing short of a time associated with anxiety and terror. In a latest development that brings out the hatred of the Jews for Christmas and similar Christian rituals, the activities of a pro-Jewish group named Lobby for Jewish Values have surfaced.
The Group is engaged in some racial activities that may result in religious belief related clashes among the Christian and Jewish community. According to the latest reports the group is giving away leaflets and documents that advises people to stay away from celebrating Christmas. It has also asked people to avoid going to public places and restaurants that contain Christian theme and follow rituals including Christmas. This is another classic case of role reversal-where the abused turns abuser.
However, not all Jews believe in doing racial activities to assert their rights. After all every religion preaches the need of spreading love and peace among mankind. By resorting to violence and racial acts nothing can be achieved. It is quite true that the Jews of Jerusalem and other places have gone through centuries of oppression but they can not get justice by vengeance and retaliation.

i think this is a crude and dishonest insult to Jews and I don’t know why it is a “headline” story
