Most of the Americanists would have you believe the first Thanksgiving was a religious occasion.The truth is a bit more disturbing, as Thanksgiving was a three day hoedown involving gambling and target shootings.This shooting event was intended to remind the Natives that Puritans were armed and dangerous.
Many ask the question; "Was the ‘first Thanksgiving’ merely a pretext for bloodshed, enslavement, and displacement that would follow in later decades?"
The answer to this question is a very blunt; "Yes, of course."
Ironically it is the Texans that make the claim that the first Thanksgiving actually took place in little San Elizario, I have no clue as to whether this is true or not, Texan history it self is actually some of the most unreliable of sources.
What did the Pilgrims eat at their Thanksgiving festival? The Puritans didn't have cranberry sauce, corn on the cob, pumpkin pie, and it is not even known if they had turkey, although it is possible. The only food known for sure to have been consumed was deer.
The only feelings anyone should have for Thanksgiving is shame.
JUDAISM IS A CULTURAL-RELIGION - someone born Jewish could be Atheist or Agnostic yet still be grafted onto Judaism. And not being sectarian this is why anyone can convert to Judaism if this is pursued well enough and with reason. Jewish customs are customs of Human Rights and Social Justice. We do not accept a Zionist State putting limitations on us. Israel is NOT a Jewish State. We the Jewish People are a People-Nation(Am Goy)! The Jewish People are NOT a racial or ethnic category.
