Seth Rogen Fights "Anti-Semitic" Hobby Lobby In Humorous Twitter Fight [VIDEO]; "Now We Will Use The Blood Of Your Babies To Make Matzah!!!" As Crafts Store Defends Holiday Buying Policy

Seth Rogen Hobby Lobby fight: Seth Rogen sent a tweet in keeping with his sardonic sense of humor to Hobby Lobby, a chain crafts, following a recent flap over the store's Hannukah policy, and a possible anti-semitic comment from an employee to a customer.
Seth Rogan tweeted at Hobby Lobby: "@HobbyLobbyStore you've angered us Jews! Now we will use the blood of your babies to make matzah!!!"
Hobby Lobby responded to Seth Rogan: "Hey @SethRogen, we love and respect our Jewish neighbors, customers and friends. Employee comment not reflective of our views."
Seth Rogan responded to Hobby Lobby: "@HobbyLobbyStore glad all it took was your employees being horribly anti-Semitic for you to realize Jews like to decorate their houses too."
Hobby Lobby has recently been in the spotlight due to the lack of Hannukah merchandise in its stores. Some are speculating that the lack of Hannukah merchandise is a purposeful oversight, and one blogger called it "anti-semitic".
In a blog post entitled "Is Hobby Lobby Anti-Semitic", visual artist Abbey says: "If they want to sell all over the nation then they must include all people within that nation."
Blogger Ken Berwitz said "I will never set foot in a Hobby Lobby. Ever."
Hobby Lobby told the Religion News Service: "Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. is currently working with our buyers over our merchandise selection. Our customers have brought this to our attention and we are currently evaluating our Holiday items and what we will carry in the future."

Hobby Lobby owner Green owns more than 550 Hobby Lobby stores nationwide, all of which are closed on Sunday, the Christian Sabbath. Green is known for his lawsuit against President Obama's health care law, which he says tramples on his religious liberty by forcing him to insure employees for medical services he objects to on religious grounds.  Green is also known for holding one of the country's largest collections of ancient biblical artifacts, including what's believed to be the oldest known copy of a Hebrew prayer book.
