Trump is so evil that has Jews and Muslim celebrating Hanukah together…in Israel
A delegation from both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain took part Monday evening in the central menorah lighting at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, in a ceremony described by the site’s chief rabbi as a “Hanukkah miracle.”

“It is a Hanukah miracle to see the delegation from the UAE and Bahrain here with us participating in the Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremony,” he said. “Who would have believed that peace would come to our house in such a magnificent way?”

The video choked me up a little. Arabs lighting the menorah with a smile on their faces, happy to be there? It is a frigging miracle!
Israel has been in conflict with the Arab world all my life, more than that. I still remember as a kid what for many is just today history lessons: from the harassments of the neighbors to the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur war. Sincerely, I believed going to my grave without seeing any progress and recognition of the State of Israel by former “enemies” even if Egypt was the glaring example that it could happen.
Here is to that not only holds but continues.
Shalom!
