Christmas vs Hanukah Space battle on Youtube

Not sure if this is in the correct forum, but what the hey.

The video speaks for itself:

Hilarious.

Let me be the first to say JEEEEEEWS IN SPAAAAACE!

Secondly, those David Stars were clearly slapping the yule out of those Christmas Cruisers, which don't seem to have the balls to light up their foes. Meanwhile, those Chatchki Fighters are going to swarm over the Sleighs. They may be small, but there is eight days worth of them. That's hard to beat.

I'm surprised no one at the school demanded the display be taken down for inciting religious hatred between Christians and Jews. :lol:

You do realize the massive size difference between these two empires? Over time, the Christmas have almost entirely assimilated the Thanksgiving, and have even been making inroads into Halloween space. The Hanukkah, on the other hand, has made minimal effort towards expansion in the past several thousand years. The only reason they've still survived this long is due to support from the neighboring systems of Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana.

You don't actually think it was Hanukkah shipyards that built those David Stars, do you?

EDIT: Oh, and while the official specs of the David Stars call for eight days worth of Chatchki fighters, most of the Hanukkah-controlled ones don't carry more than four or five days.

Well, the David Star platforms are clearly not the pinnacle of speed and maneuverability, nor of close-range firepower, if a lone ship was able to complete a successful ramming attempt with no interference or attempt at evasion... Okay, okay, I'll stop. :)

I'd imagine the Christmas-tree cruisers and the sled fighters would cost a bit more than the Dreidel-fighters and David Stars.


My rationale?

Only the Goyim pay retail....

I am not to sure of that, mostly as Christmas as a whole tends to be rather, "Cheap"

Looking at it, one would imagine The Christmas Empier would have a much larger fleet of warships to field, due mostly to its expanded resource base from assimilating Halloween and Thanksgiving.

You would think that Hanukkah would focus more on fewer, yet more powerful ships.

You can see that the David Stars DO Have a powerful Anti-ship beam weapon. If a fleet of these warships had the time and range they could defeat a group of Christmas Warships.

Obviously the Christmas TreeShips counter with far more direct speed, racing to close the gap so the David Stars cannot utilize their primary weapon.

That was my feeble attempt at Jewish humor

Goyim=Gentiles.

Jews are expected to shop for the best deal, etc. hence cheaper ships...


and don't forget the flagship of the Hanukkan Fleet the Judah Macabee.....

The Christmas ships apear to have powerful probale anti-matter torpdeos, since they blew up the Alkesh.. I mean David Stars in one blast. The battle seemed to show that fighters are mainly harrisig craft

Halloween has not been assimilated. They are merely encroaching on our territory. That will soon change, now that the ultimate weapon has been completed.

The ending made me laugh.
And does anyone else think those Davidstar ships would make awesome ships for a Jewish Goa'uld in Stargate? :P

That was great, and the Jew-ships reminded me of B5 first ones, but the ending really pissed me off. I don't need morality in my fun videos.

Anyone ever see 'Frosty vs Santa for ultimate domination of Christmas'? It was a TV special a while ago.
