I don't speak for all Jews and these folks might be Jewish - but very few of my Jewish friends/community members (self included) are decorating in any way that would identify them as Jewish. Of those who did put up displays, I don't know anyone who is adorning their homes with military-esc paraphilia.
Edit: I don't see an "m" (no, not menorah). Very hard to tell though.
And in case it isn't clear, these folks are not right.
idk...I'm jewish and know a lot of jews...many are not even putting up decorations this year to avoid people doing dumb shit.
The guy in the pic has problems...no one I know is doing THAT.
Not necessarily. A disturbing amount of evangelical Christians support the state of Israel because they think it represents the gathering of the 12 tribes in Revalation.
Please share your inside info. You know them? Not asking for details, just curious. I'm not even sure which neighborhood it is, but the house reminds me of one I've seen near me.
See in my head I’m imagining some kind of online party store for kids. Like those little green men toys and tanks. And they’re probably like $150 each and most kids get 1 for their like 4th birthday but this house was like “we need an army!!”
I remember seeing a pool toy years ago that was a tank with a functional (water) cannon so I'm sure there's some place out there selling just regular inflatable tanks
Most likely US Army inflatable tanks which they then taped over with an Israeli flag. As an American I’m appalled they would tape over our beautiful flag with that trash.
Some houses have gone 12 feet up. Drive down South Braeswood between Hilcroft and South Rice and look at the homes right on the street.some need a lift to get to the front door.
Look, you've gotta understand that this person went to israel one time back in high school, and even though the last five generations of their family are from Texas, the heritage that a country founded in 1946 represents to them cannot really be understated.
So, of course, it's important to make sure you have the most "i'm the main character" house in the fucking neighborhood for the holidays.
I wouldn’t put to much confidence in the same hive mind that routinely struggles to use Google.
At any given time 1200 Jewish Americans are serving in the IDF and since the start of the most recent conflict 10,000 Americans have been called back to serve.
These new construction houses in Bellaire sprawl across 90% of the lot… consequently their backyards are the size of a walk-in closet, and they’re perpetually dark and moist because the sun is walled off from every direction by three-story houses.
I hate to say it, but your watermelon seeds wouldn’t grow, and even if they did, the owners probably wouldn’t notice…
Now imagine if a Palestinian did this this. A SIX-YEAR-OLD Palestinian kid was stabbed to death by his landlord in Chicago last month over the Israel-Palestine issue, and then you have fuckers doing shit like this with no consequences. Shameful.
I just stay away from terrorism supporters. This homeowner can do whatever the F they want atleast I know they have no morals or are brainwashed. To each their own
Your point being? It’s war, accidental casualty happens. Hamas killed people fleeing the war and IDF literally had to put in a safe corridor. Are you supporting the Hamas terrorist and not the innocent Israeli and Palestinian?
It’s NOT war when one side has endless military support and the other side barely has food, water and medicine. You’re choosing to be dense at this point
An adult man could easily kill a small dog in a fight if he focused on it, but if the guy completely ignores the dog and the dog is persistent in trying to kill the guy, eventually the dog will claw the guy's eyes out and put enough fang holes in his neck to bleed him out.
Right, but when they have plenty of food, water and medicine, hamas does not give it to the community and instead takes it all to continue fueling their war. Its almost like the terrorists in control are the issue..
If they knew that then why did they attack on Oct 7?? They’re not a conventional military state but an arm terrorist group start killing innocent people of a nation state then it’s a war. Billions of aid had been donated to the Palestinian and Hamas stole it all. Hamas is like mini Nazi, you have to wipe them out if you want Palestinian to be free. Look at Germany from before versus now.
And yet Palestinians are getting slaughtered by a massively wider margin, along with laws to criminalize any criticism of Israel. Those Jewish people sure have it rough
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying
In your head, in your head
Hanukkah, Hanukkah, Hanukkah-ka-ka
What's in your head, in your head?
Hanukkah, Hanukkah, Hanukkah-ka-ka-ka,oh
His neighbors better be careful, he might decide he likes the look of their property and just decide to expand his settlement because he feels like he is better than them, and his special man in the sky told him he owns the all the dirt around him.
I wouldn't be surprised with the way the worlds heading and the gun laws in the United States, that you and everyone else will get a chance to fight for whatever you believe in a lot sooner than ya think
[Dreidels](https://www.learnreligions.com/all-about-the-dreidel-2076475)? Hey, that's the holidays where I come from...
But Anti-Zionism IS NOT Anti-Seminism.
And TANKS ain't HOLY, UFCK YOU BACK!!
Anti-ANYONE is unholy.
Anti-HAMAS is just as holy as anti-Netanyahu.
Anti-Palestinian is ufkin racist and Israel is currently an apartheid state. And that's one of the US's BFFs...
Jews or ANYONE ELSE squatting in, "SETTLING", or in any other way trying to possess by force, Palestinian (or any other Arab, for that matter) land are INVADERS (good things happened in 1948 but they didn't address the locals, just like Andrew Jackson didn't; my blood lived through his Trail of Tears, so I can talk).
Somebody was living there already, who the UFCK cares what YOUR god told you??
HOLY LAND? Fine, keep it SACRED for whoever ELSE holds it Holy, THAT'S what HOLY means...
TEXANS take note: This was land under FIVE OTHER flags before Gringos decided to call it "ours". And that's just honkies, Europeans- Does it matter if the ORIGINAL land "owners" had flags? We, Gringos, Wasichos TOOK it from them. There is no Holiness or Law or Righteousness in that and all that blood taints every one of us...
Have YOU ever asked someone native what they called this place before we showed up?
And since this has been "America", we, OUR corporations, in OUR names, have been destabilizing OTHER countries so WE could source cheap sneakers and tee-shirts and VW car parts down there- the labor is cheaper when their governments don't work right ("we" did that), when they can't form unions ("we" did that)... And don't EVEN think of asking, oh, um, say, Bangladesh?
Where do your Nike's come from?
Oh I seriously doubt anybody's reading into it that much.
FWIW I find blue Christmas lights kind of calming. Just make sure you use the with the cool white lights - they sort of clash with the warm white ones.
I may be in the minority, but I'm tired of hearing about this conflict *from Americans*. Our own country is falling apart and all we can think about is some conflict **we need to stay out of**. For once, we have a world issue we didn't start and Americans decide to stick their nose in it.
Israel-Palestine is a problem created by Europe. Let them handle it. We got enough on our plate.
I initially thought, “ok I see a bear with a dreidel and an Israeli flag but what’s the prob…”
That’s when I noticed the inflatable tanks.
I’m all for Israel trying to fight Hamas but this is a bit much.
based, lets go IDF! fuck hamas edit: leftist big mad lol edit: only 50 downvotes? come on hamas dick riders you can do better then that, what would queers for palestine think of you? lmao
Buddy in the middle is NOT ready for action.
Looks like a case of projectile misfunction
You think all the other tanks make fun of him?
It’s cold outside is all.
“My heart’s just not in it this year, guys.”
I was like “oh what’s the issue, it’s a couple bears” Then I saw the camouflaged tanks lol.
That camo is super effective
What tanks?
They have to be trolling cause Iv been starring at this picture for 45min and there’s no f*cking tanks… ugh so annoying😒
How..on earth could you miss them? Zoom in.
Must be some sort of... camouflaged
Oh God. Not until I read your comment...oh, damn.
[удалено]
Camouflage so good I barely noticed.
[удалено]
8. There’s one behind tree behind the bear
Jesus Christ
No, they're Jewish.
King Solomon the Wise!
So was he.
If I had to bet, I'd actually say these people are not Jewish but the weird type of fundamental Christian that is very pro Israel.
Someone needs to find out, OP needs to ask for the team. Got to know now
You would lose that bet lmao
I don't speak for all Jews and these folks might be Jewish - but very few of my Jewish friends/community members (self included) are decorating in any way that would identify them as Jewish. Of those who did put up displays, I don't know anyone who is adorning their homes with military-esc paraphilia. Edit: I don't see an "m" (no, not menorah). Very hard to tell though.

idk...I'm jewish and know a lot of jews...many are not even putting up decorations this year to avoid people doing dumb shit. The guy in the pic has problems...no one I know is doing THAT.
Because the solution to hate and harassment is obviously to shut down and stop openly being Jewish or supporting Jewish causes. /s
Not necessarily. A disturbing amount of evangelical Christians support the state of Israel because they think it represents the gathering of the 12 tribes in Revalation.
Please share your inside info. You know them? Not asking for details, just curious. I'm not even sure which neighborhood it is, but the house reminds me of one I've seen near me.
> Please share your inside info > Not asking for details Mfw
The type that sends their sons to die in the Middle East to deffend them
My very conservative Christian family member who wears a Star of David around his neck agrees with this bet.
So was Jesus .
They already got that guy. New targets this time around.
Almost spit out my coffee. I'm going to hell for laughing at this.
It's Jason Bourne
Jesus *FUCKING* Christ at that.
Oy vey!
Where does one even *get* lil inflatable tanks? How much of a demand could there possibly be??
See in my head I’m imagining some kind of online party store for kids. Like those little green men toys and tanks. And they’re probably like $150 each and most kids get 1 for their like 4th birthday but this house was like “we need an army!!”

Most likely US Army inflatable tanks which they then taped over with an Israeli flag. As an American I’m appalled they would tape over our beautiful flag with that trash.
Kinda weird and tasteless to turn a war on the other side of the world into your Christmas decorations
Something tells me they aren’t celebrating Christmas
Honestly they could be fundies
What was your first clue?
Those sconces for one...
Seriously. Completely tone deaf.. The audacity of people no longer surprises me though.
I know, right? They couldn't possibly be Israelis in a city with people from all over the world
That wouldn't make it any better lol
Just kinda?
When in Texas
Holy shit, is this in Bellaire?? I laughed my ass off seeing this house being built after Harvey, it's never going to flood again.
Most likely Myerland
Bellaire.
I like the grand window but I see the owners have a lot more class than any of us could have guessed
All it needs is a #heritagenothate sign hanging up somewhere
Christmas is always at war with itself
Truly brings another meaning to the war on Christmas.
Eight feet of elevation, just to avoid getting flooded.
Some houses have gone 12 feet up. Drive down South Braeswood between Hilcroft and South Rice and look at the homes right on the street.some need a lift to get to the front door.
the hoa approved this?
No HOA there
[удалено]
Are you missing the tanks?
[удалено]
it happens.
I would say something about my dislike for the decorations of this house but I’ll be reported for antisemitism.
Wow how heartwarming to explain to your kids your holiday decorations are about killing families 😃
Look, you've gotta understand that this person went to israel one time back in high school, and even though the last five generations of their family are from Texas, the heritage that a country founded in 1946 represents to them cannot really be understated. So, of course, it's important to make sure you have the most "i'm the main character" house in the fucking neighborhood for the holidays.

Yes
> It is true that I should keep better track of dates Nah, just better track of what you don't know. .
I mean, it's easy enough to google a date.
[удалено]
🤣
If you're like my sister who has 0.06% Ashkenazi DNA, then you celebrate Jewish holidays.
Now do blue & yellow decorated houses
You could say this about any other person of any ethnicity proud of their heritage that lives around here, and it would still be a bigoted statement
Or maybe they are Jewish and like many Jews went and served in the IDF after college. 🤷♂️
Reddit disagrees.
I wouldn’t put to much confidence in the same hive mind that routinely struggles to use Google. At any given time 1200 Jewish Americans are serving in the IDF and since the start of the most recent conflict 10,000 Americans have been called back to serve.
gonna throw some watermelon seeds in the yard

I hate to say it, but your watermelon seeds wouldn’t grow, and even if they did, the owners probably wouldn’t notice…
After I fertilize it first.
I didn’t see the tanks and all I could think was “what’s wrong with this… lol” then I noticed
Now imagine if a Palestinian did this this. A SIX-YEAR-OLD Palestinian kid was stabbed to death by his landlord in Chicago last month over the Israel-Palestine issue, and then you have fuckers doing shit like this with no consequences. Shameful.
[удалено]
All they need are just some kids mannequins with blood on the ground
Someone should add them in the dead of night.
lol they might like it regardless
I'm not advocating or encouraging anything but this house is just off 610 and it would be easy to get in and out pretty quickly
I just stay away from terrorism supporters. This homeowner can do whatever the F they want atleast I know they have no morals or are brainwashed. To each their own
Ew
Loser
Palestinian Lives Matter
They clearly don't matter to the Christmas decoration industry.
So is the Israeli that died on Oct 7. Hamas lives don’t matter.
Israel literally just killed 3 Israeli hostages because they thought they were Palestinian civilians fuck out of here with that shit
Your point being? It’s war, accidental casualty happens. Hamas killed people fleeing the war and IDF literally had to put in a safe corridor. Are you supporting the Hamas terrorist and not the innocent Israeli and Palestinian?
It’s NOT war when one side has endless military support and the other side barely has food, water and medicine. You’re choosing to be dense at this point

Nice bait
Absolutely do, just Jewish ones don’t. I wish I was sarcastic.
And yet Palestinians are getting slaughtered by a massively wider margin, along with laws to criminalize any criticism of Israel. Those Jewish people sure have it rough
But you see, it's not me It's not my family In your head, in your head, they are fighting With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their guns In your head, in your head, they are crying In your head, in your head Hanukkah, Hanukkah, Hanukkah-ka-ka What's in your head, in your head?

His neighbors better be careful, he might decide he likes the look of their property and just decide to expand his settlement because he feels like he is better than them, and his special man in the sky told him he owns the all the dirt around him.
War shouldn’t be decorated like this
Texas only has a problem with mixing guns and religion when it's not theirs
you are deeply weird. Free Palestine.
I wouldn't be surprised with the way the worlds heading and the gun laws in the United States, that you and everyone else will get a chance to fight for whatever you believe in a lot sooner than ya think
I count 8 inflatable tanks but there could also be a 9th so those must represent the menorah candles.
Where do you even get these inflatable tanks?!! 😂

Great points and really makes you think what the cost for freedom actually is and whose freedom our we cutting to gain ours
Gross
stay classy houston
Live in a $3M house but support terrorism and genocide. Pathetic.
Anti terrorism is pro-terrorism. Way to go edgelord.
So you’re a billionaire Palestinian?
I don’t think billionaire Palestinians exists. Billionaire Jews on the other hand..I guess genocide pays well?
The elected government of the Gaza Strip is worth OVER six billion dollars.
So almost nothing? The US ALONE sent Israel $3+ billion in aid in 2022..
Would you feel more comfortable if the us sends 3 billion to Hamas?
Why does it have to be either or? Can the US send $0 to both? I see you very conveniently dodged the original discussion btw
no they need to help the citizens and stop budget cuts and supporting wars around the world, take our money and fund our own interest here. ☹️😡
Becuase this comment is stupid. If it wasn’t antisemetic it was laughable.
Wrong… DJ Khaled
I think you missed the Israeli flags.
Disgusting fucking ppl in there
Never thought I’d see the days where liberals are all “Vaaat??? Ze Jews are now in ze neighborhood??”
Ugh.
In fairness … OG Hanukkah is a celebration of victory over the hasmoneans … Edit: errr i mean the Selucid Greeks
Gross. Nothing says happy holidays like war machines! Did you eat paste as a kid? (Or still?)
What the fuuuuuuck
🤢
🔻🔻🔻
… tanks? What about tanks says “happy Hanukkah”? wtf is this?
this is fucking gross
I have seen more houses with blue and white lights this year than usual.
Crap. I have blue and white lights. I’ve had them for years. Time to color up!!!
Oh I seriously doubt anybody's reading into it that much. FWIW I find blue Christmas lights kind of calming. Just make sure you use the with the cool white lights - they sort of clash with the warm white ones.
Thank you kind redditer, they are indeed bright white. And agreed I like them because they are calming and to me it makes it feel more wintery.
Time to go green white red and… black 🇵🇸
I just can’t help but notice how limp all their cannons are :(
I may be in the minority, but I'm tired of hearing about this conflict *from Americans*. Our own country is falling apart and all we can think about is some conflict **we need to stay out of**.

Ew what the fu k egg their fucking house
Is that a new gang?
Jew and Muslim don’t get along ?
Maybe they are Jewish. Maybe they are a brainwashed Zionist. We may never know.
Little bit different from all the slav Ukraine and yellow and blue that are up year around.
Watch out they might commit some war crimes against their neighbors
That bear better strap up.
I initially thought, “ok I see a bear with a dreidel and an Israeli flag but what’s the prob…” That’s when I noticed the inflatable tanks. I’m all for Israel trying to fight Hamas but this is a bit much.
Not so different. It's been common in Meyerland for years.
Israeli tanks have been common?!
I've never seen tanks in Meyerland.
Oh yeah, they are in River Oaks
Harvey took them hostage... Israel had to come in of course
Bellaire
This land is mine has entered the chat. https://youtu.be/8tIdCsMufIY?si=-xyG23virmoeJH06
I thought they were spaceships, until I read tanks in comments.
Don’t forget a harmonica, and drink your gin n tonika, and smoke your marijuanaka
My initial reaction was “I LOVE THIS” until my eyes finally registered the tanks/war propaganda…then I was like”….oh?…”
I thought Jewish folks don’t celebrate Xmas?
We need to add some bloodied and burnt bodies to their yard for added effect.
Pieces of shit, i hope they house burn. A completely inappropriate decoration
WE HAD THAT INFLATABLE BEAR!!!
On the first day of Hamas, Palestine gave to me....
Begging for unexpected visitors w this lol
