I'll not track ben-Hollander further; he's made it through severalweeks without arguing the Bible prophecies the Rabin/Arafataccord.  
	But I'll continue to suggest that there may be an editorialpolicy to steer TGIF to a pro-Accord, anti-nationalist bias.
	The commentary on Hanukah, by a lesser light of the otherwisedistinguished Hartman Institute, (after noting that the HellenizedSyrians (misidentified as Greeks) seem to have rededicated theTemple as a pagan institution on the Solstice, which the Xiansthen co-opted to their faith) tried to suggest (a) that lightingHanunkah candles is one's window is essentially a declaration oforthodoxy, like putting up an NRP sticker (b) that Hanukah isoriginally a nationalistic kulterkampf, that mainstream Judaismproperly accorded little recognition.
