In an undated letter posted by the Capital Times Wednesday, Walker wrote to a constituent that he would be happy to display a menorah at the Milwaukee County Courthouse. At the time, he was serving as county executive. But what stands out most is his closing line. From the letter:
"Thank you for you letter regarding the Menorah Display. Yes we would be happy to display the Menorah celebrating "The Eight Days of Chanukah" here at the Courthouse. [...]
"Thank you again and Molotov."
As of press time, "Molotov" was not a part of the Jewish lexicon. A Molotov cocktail is an improvised handheld explosive used the world over by protesters and grenade-deprived soldiers. The Molotov cocktail was reportedly named for former Soviet Defense Minister Vyacheslav Molotov by Finnish defense fighters during the 1939 Soviet invasion of Finland.
It is not believed that Walker intended to bestow -- much less throw -- molotov cocktails on the letter's intended recipient.
The phrase that Walker was presumably searching for is "Mazel Tov," but that's more traditionally used to congratulate someone at a wedding or bar mitzvah, for example. Many goyim may not know that a better way to greet someone during Hanukkah would be to say "Chag Sameach," which translates roughly to "Happy Holiday."
You'd think the guy could have done a tiny bit of research first.
