Menorah lightings canceled around the world as towns remove Jewish symbols over Hamas war

By Sara Carter Staff, December 5, 2023:

For the first time in 20 years, the city of Moncton, Canada, decided to not have a menorah displayed outside of its city hall. In Williamsburg, Virginia, The Second Sundays Art and Music Festival, hosted by a nonprofit known as “LoveLight Placemaking” canceled its menorah lighting scheduled for this Sunday

These are just two examples of towns across the world canceling their menorah lighting ceremonies and removing Hanukkah decorations from their holiday displays “out of concerns that the local governments may appear to be siding with Israel in its ongoing war against Hamas” writes Just The News.

Hanukkah is celebrated by lighting a menorah for eight nights and gradually increasing the number of candles each night; the holiday begins this Thursday evening. Councilmember Daniel Bourgeois told The Canadian Jewish News that counselors were told to either ban all religious symbols on public property or only allow a select few. The city decided to axe the menorah and Nativity display, but keep an official Christmas tree and sponsor the Royale Greater Moncton Santa Claus parade.

“It is unfair because, while banning the Jewish Menorah, the Christmas tree and the angels that are on City Hall ground will remain,” Moncton Jewish Community President Francis Weil said Friday on Facebook. “The Jewish Community is happy that the tree and the angels remain, but so should the Menorah. It is unfair because the Chanukah Menorah is, for Jews, a symbol of being accepted.”

The United Jewish Community of the Virginia Peninsula said Sunday about the Williamsburg festival: “To be clear, the menorah lighting, which was to be led by a local community rabbi, had nothing to do with Israel or the conflict…Yet, appallingly, the event organizer claimed that a Chanukah celebration would send a message that the festival was ‘supporting the killing/bombing of thousands of men, women, and children,’ — and even went a step further, by offering to reinstate the event if it was done under a banner calling for a ceasefire.”

Havering Council in east London reversed its decision after backlash to not display a menorah to avoid “further inflaming tensions” related to the war in Israel, the BBC reported.

These moronic Leftists think that they can appease Evil, but the beast is never satiated until it is destroyed.

The Christmas tree and Santa are pagan symbols, not Christian. By removing the menorah and nativity the scum are promoting a godless holiday. Judaism and Christianity are their enemies, and we should unite to fight them.

Any town that pulls this garbage should be outcast. All Jews should move and if they have a business then close it down. Put the word out that no Jew should do business with the town ir any non Jew resident that resides there.

All Christian should join the Jews in the boycott. We have to understand that we are bound inextricably together buy the Book, the Christ and His apostles. What threatens the Jews threatens Christians as well.

Merry Christmas to us. Happy Hannukkah to us. Happy St. Baʿal Zebub to the new liberal American Nazis

Because nothing says ‘people of the book’ like unabated support for leftwing politicos who spit on you.

Maybe once all Christmas celebrations are cancelled, too, the Christians will finally wake up to the Muslims’ intentions.

These events are a great tragedy for our Jewish friends and a warning that Jews everywhere are under the greatest threat. in their long history. Can you imagine if those who hate Jews were to gain control of the USA in this era of high technology? It would be Auschwitz on steroids. You must act together with us to stop them for they are near complete control of our nation. It is only one step from Biden to AOC and the Squad, only one step from those satanic forces that control them.

That is forthcoming, if not here already. Most of the attacks via “Ransom” to name one are done by hackers in I-Ran and Qatar. The technology for doing so was being taught especially for “foreign students” over twenty year ago.

Dear Jewish friends, do not leave any American cities or towns in the United States. We need your presence here – and by leaving – you are literally allowing the Islamists and neo-nazis to win the social narrative war. Don’t give in. Stay. Show your pride and support – both Jews and non-Jews should place lighted menorahs and Israel / American flags on our front homes. Show them light over darkness, goodness over evil. We need Jewish people in our American cities and towns. Defend your American values of free speech in public, free religious practice, and the right to self defense as protected by the U.S. Constitution.
