Chanukah

Chanukah is packaged as some sort of gooey sweet adjunct of Christmas. Maccabees were sick twisted.

 They hated the Greeks. That’s understandable:

-Oh, you have a god; well of course we can include him. 

-He’s the greatest? Hmm, work with me here, we conquered you, right? 

-So, you study the law while we study the world, how interesting.

 
Here you are, proud of reading, writing and developing a sophisticated integrated society and the newbies are in charge, treating you like hicks. What we are celebrating is a fundamentalist homophobic resistance movement engaged in terrorist activities against a modern world civilization.
