Will Hanukkah be difficult this year for Jewish descendants, on account of this ongoing war?

[TravelingMaaike]

I really hope not.

[jshm2]

Like they even celebrate it anyway. It's a dying tradition.

A quick e-card and a few shekels in an envelope is all the "tradition," before eating and drinking until sleep begins.

Most of these "descendants" aren't even really Jewish anyway!

[Lottifan]

It will be much more difficult to celebrate this year. Here in London anti Semitic attacks on the jewish community is frightening. Synagogues and schools have been attacked as have some Jewish shops. Swastikas have also been daubed on JEWISH properties. Posters showing photos of the hostages have either been torn down or had swastikas painted across them.

a direct issue is the threat of rockets and air raid sirens that interruption.

gaza even NOW when weak still palestinian continue firing lethal explosive rockets even today. for example 4 pm e. s. time. EST.

It's sad but increased security will be needed this year for Jews celebrating Hanukkah.

[Avicenna]

It's a fair question. There are always trials and tribulations, but Hanukkah is still enjoyable.

[JacobJordan]

Nope. Been dealing with this type of stuff my whole life

[love_conquers_lust]

They should watch You Don’t Mess with the Zohan for comic relief.

[Lottifan]

@love_conquers_lust
That film is a load of crap.

[love_conquers_lust]

@Lottifan No shit.

[AmeerX]

No it won't be difficult since Israel has everything under control. US has guaranteed security to them.

[Lottifan]

@do you even know what Hanukkah is?

[AmeerX]

@Lottifan does it matter? It's their festival

[Anonymous]

I don't celebrate Hannukah or any Jewish holidays even though i was raised in a Jewish family. I don't follow any religious practices.

[exitseven]

I have to think it will indeed be difficult

[Mansearching]

Most likely will.

[collie22]

So true.. my prayers

[TonyMetal___86]

What's a hanukkah?

[strateguy632]

that is a jew festival to remember their temple in Jerusalem. but the conflict is how can they rejoice knowing over 200 hundreds jew hostages are still NOW in prison as hostages. and rockets , lethal explosive continued getting shot from gaza by palestinian even today, israel let fuel in, now they HAVE fuel for ROCKETS duh. and even now mord rockets shot by palestinian into israel. besides guided missiles from lebanon fired by muslim violating previous cease fire.

[TonyMetal___86]

@strateguy632 all those who's firing missiles at israelis are groups supported, financed and trained by iranians...
The ones who are firing guided missiles from my country on Israel are called hezballah, they are muslim shiites related directly to Iran, all their weapons comes from Iran and their leader consider himself a soldier in the state of fakih, which is an iranian ideology, sadly that this group is more powerful than our army and they rule my country by force because they have illegal weapons, they receive direct orders from Iran...

We as people (normal citizens) do not want any war and we want peace and but unfortunatly the decision ain't ours, it's in the hands of hezballah or israel or iran or the usa...

If israel's interest is to make this war bigger than it will make hezballah enter this war completely and if iran see's an interest of firing the whole region than they will give orders to hezballah to make lethal strikes on israel and use my country as a bait so in the end they receive what they want...
