As a local business supporting Jew, I’m not thrilled at the association and the weird phrasing in this article:
Residents of Benton County, in the northwest corner of Arkansas, are proud citizens of the Bible Belt. At last count, they filled 39 Baptist, 27 United Methodist and 20 Assembly of God churches. For decades, a local hospital has begun meetings with a reading from the New Testament and the library has featured an elaborate Christmas display.
Then the Wal-Mart Jews arrived.
It almost seems as if the last sentence was meant to read, “Then the Wal-Mart Jews arrived, sacrificing Christian babies and using their blood to make their evil matzoh”, but then some editor thought better of it.
The article actually turns out to be about how Christians and Jews have mixed rather effortlessly in an area where no one previsously knew all that much about Jews. But still: Wal-Mart Jews?
