I'm with you. It's offensive. It's evil. It's wrong. If they don't understand that Jews were murdered en masse for blood libels on this holiday, they don't get it.
I am working with a pastor who wants to do it appropriately with appropriating and we're designing a poverty seder, where they learn about Jewish traditions in a fun lecture, and then raise money for a social justice cause, such as human trafficking, poverty relief and the dignity of every person. There will be some readings from the Hagaddah but the idea of it is using it as a gathering to represent the spirit of the holiday in a universal sense.
