Biblically, Christianity is a religion of forgiveness and selfless love. Judaism? Less so. According to our oldest sacred texts we have an angry God and we are an angry people. We strike death blows on Egyptians. We gouge out the eyes of our enemies. We kill 200 Philistines and take their foreskins as spoils. Today the Jews are angrier, and funnier than ever.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of all of the Jews who were enraged this week:
The Jew lawyer in all of us:
“It ain’t over til the Jew lawyer sings”-Roy Moore

Jews who recognize seasonal literature when they see it:
Sean Spicer thinks that A Christmas Carol is a collection of Christmas carols pic.twitter.com/b8k2NzW2LT

Jews who like Christmas but not scapegoating:
Annual reminder not a single Jew in history has ever minded saying “Merry Christmas.” Though if you don’t mind maybe you could stop blaming us for your problems or better just ignore us entirely? https://t.co/05HHZz7KBA

Friends of the Jews:
Can’t believe Roy Moore rode a Jew to his polling place

Jews who refused to let their location keep them from their tradition:
Anyway throwback to Hanukkah 5777 when my boyfriend was stuck in a West African jungle without a menorah. pic.twitter.com/3IZdaUd6g4

Sarcastic Jews:
It’s like an accused child predator who was twice removed from the bench, opposed to gays and Muslims and half the Constitution can’t catch a break these days
— Dave Itzkoff (@ditzkoff) December 13, 2017
Just Jews who are being Jews:
I’m the most powerful Jewish woman in this forest fire
— Megan Amram (@meganamram) December 8, 2017
Furious Jews retreating other furious Jews
This tax bill was written for Republicans’ wealthy campaign contributors. I want to congratulate my Republican colleagues for their honesty about that.
— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) December 13, 2017
Jews who are succinct:
fuck the fcc
— Hanukkah Hoodie (@HoodieAllen) December 14, 2017
And finally, not rage, just rabbits:

Happy Hanukkah! May your rage burn on long after the eight nights are complete.
