[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Jewish, not a Zionist, I don't like what Israel and Hamas are doing, and I'm not celebrating Hannakah this year.
If you don't like that I don't care. I'm an independent thinker and have always been different.
I'm not festive this year and I'm not celebrating. You can do whatever you want to do. Your opinion of me doesn't matter to me. I've always lived outside the box.[/quote]

Fair enough, Hanukkah is the celebration of Jewish victory over Greek colonizers and the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. I see why a non Zionist wouldn’t want to celebrate. [/quote]

Huh? The story of Hannukah is not Zionish. Even the non-zionist Jewish sects like the Satmar celebrate Hannukah. But sure, if you’re uncomfortable with any connection between the Jews and Jerusalem maybe you’d be uncomfortable. I find that hard to fathom. I think OP is just saying she doesn’t want to celebrate, but if she’s ashamed about celebrating Judaism in the context of Jewish history in the region, then maybe she needs to introspect some more.
