Ask JTF For September 9 Broadcast

[Gam Bashan veGam Gilad]

Hello dear Chaim,

  First I would like to express how happy and excited I am to see a post of Oz77 here in this thread (like in the old days..).
Oz77 has always been an impressive person in every aspect, and his ideas were always a true demonstration of his ability to think two steps forward. His creativity and talent are the secret engine we have, that motivates and drives us fast forward both as a movement and as a forum.

Now- for my question this week:

You have said more than once that Russia is still an enemy of the United States. Russia is deriding The West and selling advanced weapons to the worst enemies of The Western World because she aspires to gain the power she once had back again.

Now I have recently heard a commentary on the royal national radio station here in Israel (Reshet Bei"t – Channel B) made by a University Professor, saying: "The more we approach the 'D-Day' – which is the day when Iran can produce a nuclear bomb – the more Russia will be forced to come to her senses and pick the right side for her,- which will reasonably be The Western World". So when the time comes, Russia will stop the little game she is playing and will cooperate with the United States and her allies against the Nazi countries that Bush uses to call "The Axis of Evil".

Do you agree with this point?

Thank you and Shana Tova! :-)

Dear Chaim,
               With regards to awakening Europeans Jews and Gentiles to the "Islamic Invasion",what advice can you give us,what should we strive to do to counter the spread of this vile Occult.

[Hidden Author]

Chaim, neither you and your supporters should judge me or anyone else for that matter on a superficial basis. For example, did you know that I bless the House of Israel? I do so by blessing the Daughters of Israel and I bless them by admiring them through such websites as [un-tzniut swimsuit website deleted] etc.

Now I know that you oppose this because your secret wish is to become the Messiah and the Messiah must protect the Daughters of Israel from the glares of goyim such as myself but...

If these girls aren't going to keep the mitzvot anyway, then can't those bachelors (such as myself) who harbor no messianic ambitions enjoy the s*xual urges G-d gave us?

Chaim,

Why does JTF support countries like Greece and India if they were two countries that voted against the Balfour declaration that gave Jews homeland in Eretz Israel?

p.S. I have nothing against Greece and India, just want to know why JTF supports them.

What can we do about loud inconsiderate apes in movie theaters?

Shalom Chaim,

Haaretz editor and board member Danny Rubinstein declared that Israel is an “apartheid state” and that many at Haaretz agree with this claim. This statement was made before a "UN International Conference of Civil Society in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace". Afterwards, in a Conservative synagogue from Britain, he was offered the possibility to explain the context of his words in front of the local Jewish community, but he stubbornly stood by his statements.
Question: Is he an idiot, a traitor, or both? How come Haaretz is still the biggest newspaper in Israel? Are most Israelis suicidal?

Hello Dear Chaim,

Hope all is well.  First, I would like to wish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year.  This week I have a question about JTF's main problem which has been raising money.  I know one of the reasons we have had a hard time raising money is because many wealthy Liberal Jews are scared of the supposed controversial nature of JTF, which obviously I don't believe by the way.  Anyway, I was wondering what you thought of counteracting this by creating a separate wing of JTF under the banner of a new name, one that wouldn't mention any ties to JTF.  This sub-organization could seek to raise money for the cause indirectly.  We could say we were trying to raise money just for Israel or general Jewish causes and stay clear of any controversial issues whatsoever (race, settlements and Jewish land, politics, etc.).  By remaining vague, we might be able to raise more money and then we could use these funds for the actual JTF causes at hand.  The self-hating Jews and Liberals just wouldn't know our true intentions.  It wouldn't be deception, just a convenient Robin Hood type vagueness.  Until next week, G-d willing.  All the best.

Shalom Chaim,

     I read a couple of weeks ago that Jimmy Carter's friend, national security adviser and influential Democrat, Zbignewi Brzezinski, is supporting Barack Obama for president.  In his attempts to bring down Hillary, he's actually stated that being a "First Lady" does not prepare someone to be president nor does it give someone good experience.



I found an article from the USA Today that contains the names of "foreign-policy" advisers. 


Brzezinski is an "informal" adviser to Barack.  He also has Anthony Lake (former national security adviser to Bill Clinton), Ivo Daadler (Clinton adviser on Europe), Greg Craig (Albright adviser and Clinton White House counsel)  and Susan Rice (Clinton adviser and former assistant secretary of state), all former advisers to Bill Clinton.


Hillary's team includes her husband, Richard Holbrooke, Madeleine Albright, Sandy Berger and Strobe Talbott, who is a former deputy secretary of state.


McCain has Kissinger, George Schultz and Lawrence Eagleburger


Giuliani is being counseled by a former State Department foreign policy adviser named Christopher Hill.   Giuliani also has Norman Podhoretz who seems to recognize the threat of Iran and Giuliani also has Martin Kramer, who has been very critical of Islam.  Kramer is also against the idea of trying to democratize the "Middle East."  So Giuliani seems to have a variety of viewpoints. 


Steven Schrage, a former State Department international law specialist, is advising Republican Mitt Romney.  I'm not sure yet who else Romney has. 

Derek Chollet, who was John Edwards' foreign policy adviser when the Democrat served in the Senate, is now a key adviser in Edwards' campaign.


I haven't found information about Fred Thompson yet.   


I'm still hoping Duncan Hunter could become competitive enough for a serious challenge for the GOP nomination but especially with so many primaries having been moved up, it will be a long-shot.

Shalom Chaim,
I hope you saw the topic about me and the karatie beliefs, and that now I don't think that the Karaties are right in their way of veiw .

And my question for this week is :
Do you think that all Jews are ethniclly Jewish ?
If you do, why does Ashkenazi Jews and Sfardic Jews are different ?

[OdKahaneChai]

Dear Chaim,
Well - last week was my first comment - now I'm back to my inevitable weekly "What do you think of...?" question.  So - here goes:

What do you think of the "Bible Code," or the theory that by searching for patterns in the letters of the Torah you can find hidden messages.  The people researching it have supposedly found references to the assassination of the traitor Rabin YS"V, 9/11 and many other things.  Obviously, all the secrets of the world are hidden in our holy Torah, but is this the way to find them?

Thanks as always,
Eitan

Dear Chaim,
I think your criticism of Germany today is misplaced. Germany is one of the best friends that Israel has in Europe. Germany is Israel’s largest European trading partner, it cooperates closely with Israel in the area of defense, intelligence and hi-tech R&D.

Newest addition to Israel’s navy are the latest German Dolphin-class submarines. Germany also supplied Israel with Mig-29 & T-72 tanks from GDR stock. The technical analysis of the seeker technology and engine solution of the Soviet missile AA-11, resulted in the development of the Israeli Python-4 and German IRIS-T air-to-air missile.

Latest Merkava MK 4 tank uses German 400 MTU-engines with Renk transmissions. Merkava’s 120mm smooth bore lethal gun was developed by German company Rheinmetall.

Israel is a trading nation and, as important, Germany is a key to trading and cooperating with Europe.

The problem is not that Germany supports Israel suicidal policies - all countries do. The problem is that the voting majority of Israeli Jews do. You can not expect Germans to be more pro-Israel than Jews who live there.

Shalom Chaim.

I can't remember the statistic you quoted. What % of schvartzas have criminal records? (I know it's high)

Shana Tova Chaim,

What ethnic background was Rav Meir Kahane, ZT"L, HY"D? Was he an Ashkenazi? I read somewhere that he was of Lithuanian descent. May you clarify this for me?

As always your a gentleman and a scholar.

Next year in Jerusalem!
