#1 My religious beliefs insists that holiday decorations be present and that they are referred to as they should be. I'm offended that my religion is being violated. :-)

#2 Could the usual suspects be innocent this time?

The Port of Seattle says it had little choice. It says a Seattle rabbi with the Central Organization for Jewish Learning hired an attorney and threatened to sue if the airport did not erect an eight foot menorah to balance the message of the Christmas trees.

According to airport spokeswoman the two sides could not reach an agreement before the lawsuit was to be filed, so the trees were removed instead.

Problem is, a google search failed to turn up a single hit on "Central Organization for Jewish Learning" and the likely permutations. Seattle has no shortage of Jew-haters. Could this be a false-flag operation to discredit local Jews?
It could also be a lone self-declared "rabbi" telling the PC port officials what they desperately want to hear anyway.

#3 Could not happen without reporters willing to file stories using unnamed sources. I do not doubt that people have called to complain as part of a campaign but I cannot imagine any Jewish religious group wanting to kill Christian symbols.
