Merry Christmas everyone , and to sport betting fans in the house . I observed something today to my consternation, I want to book a game for just today , I already know the major leagues in europe are on holidays except England who will resume tomorrow after Christmas. So I know for today's game ,most islamic countries will be available. While going through the matches available for today, I see Syria, Iraq ,Egypt, Iran, Algeria, Turkey and so much other Islamic countries, but to my surprise Israel premier league is taking place today too. My question , are they not a Christian country? Are they not celebrating Christmas? Or they don't recognise today as the birthday of Jesus christ. Please I want those with sound knowledge of the situation to explain, thanks

They are jews and dey don't celebrate Christmas. To them, Jesus is an impostor. They Re still waiting for their messiah.

Ps: and by d way, wen u done booking, share slip make I follow u play.

Majority of Israeli population is not christian, in fact, there are more muslims than Christians in Israel.

Christianity is not a major religion in Israel. Infact this Christmas celebration has no footing in the Bible or in the Jewish religion.
Rome is the people that brought all this, they just infused the teachings of Jesus into their traditional religion and called it Christianity. Then used their power to seculate it around the world.

In Israel, they practice Judaism which is essentially the laws of Moses (Old Testament). Most are not waiting for the messiah but they believe that the messiah hasn’t come yet.

To them, Jesus Christ was made up and one of many false prophets to call himself the messiah, the messiah they’re waiting for was to be the king of Judah, king of Israel, jesus was a carpenter so draw your own conclusions.

I'm nt in the mood to be confused

There is no such thing as a Christian Nation, nor a Christian business or marriage or Holiday.

Christmas is not a Christian Holiday - it's not of the Kingdom of God as taught to us by Jesus Christ. Instead it is a secular/Pagan holiday like any other Holiday out there and hence not to be celebrate in God's Name or the name of Jesus Christ - Jesus never asked anyone to celebrate His birthday so your celebrations are not of Him.

The choice to celebrate any holiday is instead up to individuals . And should be honored so.

Merry Christmas and good tidings to all!

They are largely Jews and practice Judaism.. ironically, Africans especially Nigerians run to Isreal yearly for pilgrimage.

Real jews practice Judaism which is the religion of their ancestors. The Roman empire created the Jesus character and Christianity on the order of emperor Constantine who wanted a single religion for his empire. The jews follow the Torah. Which is meant to last forever. The Messiah God promised to send them 8f they behave well is a normal human being from the line of David. ...
The romans just added their idolatry at the back of the Jewish holy book to make it sellable to the gullible public.....no more no less.

CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT THANKSGIVING AND CELEBRATION OF CHRIST.
IS SO GOOD BECAUSE WE LOOK FOWARD TO CELEBRATE SOMETHING SPECIAL AFTER A WHOLE YEAR ACTIVITY COMING TO AN END.
CHRISTMAS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND COMES WITH SO MUCH JOY FOR ALL WHO DESIRES HAPPY LIFE.
GOD BLESS THOSE WHO MADE IT.

That's the whole truth the people don't want to hear.
Rice and chicken is more important to them than the truth.

They're still waiting for their messiah just as you're waiting for the second coming of your messiah.

..are they not a Christian country?

this one don lost

They are Jews.. Jewish came before Christianity

I can see many pained Muslims masturbating

Someone like kobojungle a Muslim that celebrate Mohamed birthday is also calling himself a Christian because of the pains that Jesus day supercede Mohamed day

There are so many Messianic Jews in Israel that are celebrating Christmas, infact the church of nativity is the busiest in the world celebrating Christmas

Responding to your quote in bold. I once attended a synagogue and spoke to a Rabbi. They believe Jesus Christ existed so I don't know where you got the 'made up' bit from. However, they think he's only a man like any other Jew and not the Saviour nor Messiah. They never acknowledged Him at all in their service on that day.

It shocks me when I see people ("Christians" especially) start presenting Israel as a Christian country.

I feel your pains

Jews you hate still control Jerusalem and it's environment you can choke in Gaza rubble

Truthissupreme:

Simply pick up scriptures, to learn why Israel is a Jewish Nation. In Deuteronomy 30 vs 15-20, God gave the nation of Israel to those of the Blood of Jacob aka Jews.

I owe you no explanation, all I know is that my Jesus does not take Christmas celebration as a sin. I am not interested in debating with you, go and sleep.

Romans 14:6
6. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Mr man face your religion, stop poking your nose into my own religion. You know nothing about my doctrine and I am not interested in debating my doctrine with you. Go and debate your own religion with your jw brothers and sisters. Don't push me to the wall, if I start my own, you will hate yourself.
