Now that you're done cut-n-pasting from your Google search...yes, I am guilty of being white. I never heard of "Kwanzaa" or "Winter Solstice" until the 90's when it became popular to be black and in touch with tribal ceremonies, or be a wiccan/pagan and resurrect ancient traditions. I don't have any Gallup polls to back this up, but I would imagine the only people who ever heard of these pseudo days of celebration and observance before 1990, are the people that participated in such events.
In other words, Israel's theocracy (falsely called a "democracy" by some) can in no way be compared to the USA in matters of religion
Thank you for proving my point. I wasn't comparing religions and countries, I simply said that if I was in Israel, I would be more apt to see "Happy Hannukah" sign, events, sale-a-brations, etc.
