Jews, on the other hand, don't think it's so terribly important what religion a person is or what he believes, but rather it's how we act in this world and how we treat others.

Historically, this has not stopped Jews from acting terribly. There is a jewish holiday, I'm not sure which one, where we celebrate a victory in battle. What was the battle? Let me explain...
There were 2 groups who hated eachother, one of them was Jewish. There were 2 young people who fell in love and wanted to get married (sound familiar?) The girl was the daughter of the Jewish military leader in charge. She fell in love with the young military leader of the opposing group. The marriage was forbidden because he was not Jewish (that was the reason given to the girl.) The guy was willing to convert, and as a gesture of his total committment, not only was he circumcised, but so was the rest of his army. They were promised 7 days of peace/no fighting to recover from this very painful surgery.
While they were recovering, the Jewish military led by the girl's father attacked them and destroyed their entire army, including the guy she loved. And that's how we get this Jewish holiday (I can't remember which one) and this is what we teach our children. To celebrate this victory, let's eat!!!
It's anyone's guess how they explained it to the poor girl, that part didn't get recorded in history. But for 6,000 years, we continue to celebrate this holiday because it was a huge success and because we're so smart!
Can someone please tell me what the holiday is?
