In response to Melinda Gottfried's questions about how Christians would feel if "little cups of juice" were served at a Christian event, this Christian wouldn't mind at all. It's a symbolic gesture, and like a man-made fabric shawl, shouldn't be worshipped as anything more.
Hundreds of people came out to support Israel in a time when Jews are once again becoming the world's target for hate, and all Ms. Gottfried can worry about is how a non-Jew wore a shawl? Some folks just need something to complain about.
