Dear Chaim,
The natives of The British Isles are from Gomer, mentioned in Parashat Noah as a descendant of Japheth. The English place name Montgomery means Mount Gomer. The British-Israelism people bring this up to prove thier nonsense even though Gomer was not Jewish. The Gaelic Druids were from Gomer. They came from the Mediterranean region after travelling all over Europe. They founded Gaul. They then went to Britain and founded Wales. The word Wales is linguistically derived from Gaul. What do you think of this?
What do you think of Edenics? It traces words in very language back to the original Edenic (Garden of Eden) route, from before The Tower of Babel. Edenic is Proto-Hebrew. The English word over such as in "over the river" comes from "me'ever" ha'nahar. There is a neighborhood of Philadelphia near where I live called Overbrook. It can be traced to the Hebrew ever and bricha, over the brook. Europe comes from Erev, because Europe is West of Israel, where The Sun sets in the erev, evening. That is also used to prove Gomer being Montgomery.

Regarding the former disgraced NYC and NY State Controller Alan Hevesi"s father (an economist) and grandfather (the former chief Rabbi of Budapest), is it true that the latter was a member of the Budapest Judenrat along with the Judenrat Rudolf Kastner who chose Jews for Eichmann to murder in Auschwitz-Birkenau and to save after the Judenrat was paid off, taking the last train out of Budapest and to safety in Switzerland?

I'm posting this on behalf of Yacov Menashe.
There is a theory that Shintoism is paganized Judaism. The Japanese could be descended form The Lost Tribes. There is some resemblance between the stories of Shinto mythology and their festivals to stories of The Torah and Jewish festivals.
It could be that Japanese are partly Jewish because their eyes aren't the same kind of Oriental eyes that other Orientals have. They must be part white. Maybe the original Ainu, the natives of Japan, gave them the Oriental component and the white component came from Jews.
It is also accepted Jewish belief that when Abraham had sons from Keturah after Sarah died, he sent them away to The East with gifts. They settled in Arabia, India, and Eastern Asia and founded the Eastern religions. So all the Eastern yoga stuff is really an ancient Jewish art form.
What is your opinion on all of this?

Hey it's my birthday on the 27th!!
Chaim, thank you for answering our questions each week. For some reason, you feel like a brother to me even though we have never met.
Anyway, here is my question:
If you were a very well-respected advisor to the US government today, what recommendations would you give them in regards to the current situation in Iraq, IRan, Syria, Israel, etc?
-
Chaim, I have noticed that all the kosher food establishments on Main Street in Queens have kookarachas making the food. Do you ever go into any of these places. Are their any restaurants in Queens that you have gone to? Where do you go to get food not handled by Africans and cookarachas besides for you own house? Thank you as always.
-
Chaim: Would you consider it worthwile having more Gentiles than Jews in this organisation? If i publicise this organisation (as you suggested I should in last weeks Ask JTF) I only know Christian Righteous Gentiles so it would bring many (perhaps in the order of 60 more Christian Gentiles to the forum)

Dear Chaim,
I'm Hispanic, and when you speak of Hispanics next time on the Jewish Task Force and Take Back America shows, can you please make a distinction between white Hispanics and mestizos, since most of what mestizos do wrong is blamed on Hispanics as a whole?

Chaim, when you were detained at the airport in Israel, was that the only time you ever went to Israel or did you have a chance to be there before that time? If that was the only time you were there, then my heart really goes out to you.

Dear Chaim,
While completely agreeing with Rabbi Kahane ZT”L HY” and your positions on Reform and Conservative Cults, it occurred to me that Rabbi Kahane and you have never analyzed what is wrong with an Orthodox Judaism. I submit to you that a great deal of blame should also be attributed Orthodox Jews.
Black hat clowns become a symbol of Orthodoxy, thus becoming, in effect, a self-inflicting mockery of a religious Jews, massively discrediting Orthodos Judaism in the eyes of non-religious Jews. Isn't it why there are so many Jews who have turned away from Orthodox Judasim. Personally, I only see Judaism coming alive, vibrant and appealing when I hear Rabbi Kahane or you discussing and explaning the matter. From anyone else I’ve heard, it sounds dead, too ritualistic without meaning. Sorry to say that!
I would you love you to do a show on this subject, because we can make fun and despise various reform and Hassidic cults (with the exception of Lubavitches) all we want, the fact remains that the mainstream, orthodox Judaism does not produce rabbis like Meir Kahane, who was an anomaly.
So, what’s wrong with an Orthodox Judaism as it is practiced today? I think this is much more important question than ridiculing some Jewish cults. Can you do a show on it - sort of State of the Union?

Hello Chaim,
Are there any Kahanist self defense schools that you know of in NYC? Thanks,Allen

Hello Chaim,
I been watching on going news how Muzzies are killing other Muzzies in Gaza and to be honest I think this is a great thing let them kill each other and we all step aside as they kill each other. I said the same thing about Iraq that Sunni and Shia killing each other is fine. Why should we have our men in the middle of this to lose their lives for these insect towel heads? The difference between me and a disgusting Liberal is that they do not want to do anything at all, they rather sit on their hands while Iran is building. Now that Muzzies are fighting each other like crazed animals, now is the PERFECT time for both the U.S. and/or Israel to focus on that nuclear program in Iran. I'd like your thoughts on this.
Have a good week.

Shalom Chaim,
On last weeks "ASK JTF" you mentioned Yaakov Lloyd. Who is this man, and what did he do?
-
Dearest Chaim,
Thanks so much for supporting me when I shot my mouth off. I need to work on that a lot. I want to revert to my question two weeks ago about defending small allies like Serbia (and I would also add Taiwan). Would a Kahanist Israel at least share weapons technology, and perhaps nuclear technology, with them? Thanks, Chaimfan.

Do you believe Israel belongs to Jews on a historic basis: their being there first and having the right to reclaim the land that the Romans exiled them from, or a religious basis: the Jewish Bible says it belongs to Jews. If the Jewish Bible said that Israel should be created in China would that give you the moral right to displace the Chinese and create a Jewish state there? Don't get me wrong I believe Israel belongs to Jews on a historic basis. Do you believe Amerinds have the right to create their own nation in the USA since they were here first?

Hello Chaim,
Can you comment on the possibility of this scenario...The leftist "republican" worm NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg runs for president as an independent, spends hundreds of millions of dollars on his campaign, and as a result, draws enough votes away from the Republican nominee allowing a degenerate like Clinton, Obama,(or some other evil leftist) to win the election, similar to the way Ross Perot helped Bill Clinton in 1994?

You don't have to read all of this...I am just posting some thoughts on the commandment to love and honor your parents that I had after last weeks ask JTF.
****************
I was thinking about the commandment to honor your parents and it hit me what a doofis I was.
I just wanted to add that I love my father and mother a lot and I would never want to be anyone else's son other than theirs.
I thank G-d I was born to them because I am Jewish.
My point was mostly that I disliked being around my parents 99% of the time when they were married, but now, individually, I actually like them a lot intellectually.
My dad has the wit, charm and subtlety of a funny rabbi...except he is a professor at a major university were managing politically correct agendas has to be a supreme artform. The students and faculty are so delicate in their racial and sexist ideas that over the years he got very good at wearing politically correct masks and using light, non-insulting humor.
He was hated by feminazis when the feminist revolution was going on because he stood up for guys when the Feminazis were claiming something absurd like 1 in 2 women would be date-raped. He even had feminists picketing his work at one point.
He is also handsome has a very laid back personality, is funny, not materialistic, and is very generous, almost to a fault...Young women half his age want him even though he is not wealthy
It does disturb me that he travelled to Germany, but university professors are invited to all sorts of conferences around the world and it is based on social work. That is a big topic in Sweden, Norway and stuff because of their healthcare system and he is an expert. Probably 75% of the conferences in his area of work take place in Europe.
True, he doesn't have much zeal for Israel or Judaism, but I am almost certain when he hears some sane viewpoints that offer good answers, like the ones I am learning, he will take some interest...
My mom is very intelligent too.
She is outspoken in exposing corruption in city politics and is often the lone voice of dissent, and has successfully put corrupt, backroom-dealmaking politicians to shame in the local media. She totally reemed them and left them basically speechless.
If she were in Israel, she would be the person publishing and exposing the corruption and the payoffs of the politicians (with documented paperwork), even if the rest of the liberals were screaming at her.
She really doesn't care what they think and makes fun of the liberals out here in the Bay Area. She was the only right-wing, non-corrupt person in local politics a few years ago. If she ever becames a Zionist, she will be a force to be reckoned with.

Dear Chaim,
Whenever you have any questions about Islam, no matter how obscure or minuscule you may think the question is, please ask me! 98% of the time I will have a true answer for you!! I really know alot of this muslim jibberish!
My question is again about the World To Come. Where will this take place?? In Heaven or on Earth??

1. Chaim, we're having a JTF meeting today so if you are reading this and it is before 4 PM please head over to Queens College!
2. Did you happen to remember seeing R' Kahane speak at the Village in NY in 1985? My father says he remembers being his bodyguard at that event.

Shalom,
I would like to ask if sending childen to a yeshiva is free in Israel. If not whats the range per child, and any other info you have on this issue. Toda.

Dear Chaim,
I have heard from some of the JDL old timers that many of the people in the JDL were kind of crazy, but very dedicated and willing to do dangerous things. When you were running the JDL how did you keep them under control and still use them for actions? Also how did you deal with informants?
-
Hello Dear Chaim,
Hope you are doing well. First off, I certainly echo your sentiments that there should be no infighting between groups that share JTF's positions and that these groups should consolidate under the JTF banner. Let's leave the infighting to the schwartzes and Arab Muslim Nazis in places like Gaza. Let's fight for the cause united and together.
My question this week is a follow-up from last week. As you mentioned, there is no way that we can do or accomplish everything in life that we would like. For example, when we want to learn something new we have to study a subject selectively. We can't truly learn it from every angle possible or we would suffer from information overload. It seems to me that every decision we make in life is far from a perfect process, even something like choosing a wife, though some would like to believe in the notion of "soul mates." How do we know we are making the right decisions, Chaim? When it comes to things like learning, love, etc., I am always questioning whether I am making the right choices. I am full of doubts. Thanks for your great insights as always. Until next week G-d willing.

Someone onder the name of JEWISHTaskForce put this up on youtube (on their page):
JTF's (Jewish Task Force) views have been condemned by mainstream Jewish organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, with the latter organization listing the JTF web site as a hate group.
Rabbi Meir Kahane, was a slime-ball who founded a terrorist organization.
Both the U.S. State Department and the State of Israel designate Kach and Kahane Chai as terrorists and criminals.
Rabbi Kahane's philosophy is supported by probably less than 5% of the Israeli population. Most Israelis are embarrassed by him and condemn him. The political parties that bear his name are outlawed in Israel as terrorist, criminal, and an embarrassment to the Jewish people.
Chaim Ben Pesach :
- Went to jail for bombing Egyptian targets in an effort to stop the Israeli retreat from the Sinai Peninsula. In the 1980s, he bombed Soviet diplomatic targets in New York and tear-gassed a ballet performance at Lincoln Center that featured Soviet performers. He continued as JDL Chairman until his arrest in 1987. He pleaded guilty in connection with six bombings and was sentenced to 10 years but served five and a half before being released on probation.
- Chaim is banned from entering Israel because of his support of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach Party, which has been outlawed in Israel.
- In 1996, he tried to emigrate to Israel, but was immediately detained at Ben-Gurion International Airport upon his arrival, and was placed in administrative detention in a cell in the airport.
- He was subsequently deported to the U.S., where he now lives in the New York metropolitan area.
Any words for them?

Hi Chaim
Not what I'd been plaaning to ask this week, just something I've been thinking about, Pastor John Hagee and his group Christians united for Israel have very similar views to JTF, unlike JTF, they have 50 million members and a lot of money, I'm wondering if it would be possible to form some sort of alliance with them?
Shalom.

Dear Chaim, what do you think about the cutting of kivtzat yeladim? On the one hand, it has thrown thousands of Jews into even deeper poverty. On the other hand, it has cut the Arab Birthrate by 1 child overall, perhaps buying Israel some time before transfer can be implemented. What do you think?
-
Dear Chaim, I am so proud! If you search YouTube for Hillary Clinton, JTF is on page 1 and 2! I wanted to share the wonderful news.
I'm posting this on behalf of Yacov Menashe. [Yacov Menashe inserts: Jeffguy did this voluntarily. I didn't ask him to do so like I ask Jimmy to do so.]
Do you consider yourself to be Modern Orthodox? Religious Zionists are part of Modern Orthodoxy.

Have you ever been in Germany? How do you feel about Jews who live there?

Chaim,
I think I will be able to arrange a talk show for you with Victor Topaller, a leading right-wing journalist at RTVI, which is a major Russian-Jewish TV network broadcasting in the US, Canada, Israel etc.
If you are interested in this project, drop me your email.
I have just sent them links to your youtube videos in response to their first feedback.

Shalom Chaim,
What do you think about Arcadi Gaydamak ?

Hello Chaim, :)
Thank you for the interesting answers on last weeks JTF.
I'm not sure how the Knesset works in Israel but if its anything even similar to here in the UK, where you form your political party and have members of parliament representing different areas, then how are things going with the kahanists. Are there any kahanists in the Knesset or representing areas, like say where the Hilltop Youth that you help live? If that happens then maybe it would be a step forward for the kahanists unless the current government are preventing their involvement in politics completely.
Anyway i hope you have a Good week God Willing.

Hello Chaim,
First of all, I have a clarification to make:
On the last "Ask JTF" program in Hebrew, you named me "Gam Bashan" (without the "Gam Gil'ad" suffix). It was BRILLIANT! And I would appreciate if you kept cutting it off when addressing me. This is far too long of a nickname for these shows, and would be better shortened. Besides, I liked the new sound of it. ;)
Now for my question:
Gdol-Dorenu HaRav Meir Kahane ZT"L HY"D founded JDL in 1969, as we all know. Unfortunately later on, due to fights and disputes that were taken place among people in the organization, JDL split into a number of various 'JDLs' that kept the name of JDL while they weren't REAL JDLs, because they were not loyal to the founder Rabbi anymore (some of these "false splinters" still exist up to this day...).
Anyway, let me get this straight: They split from the one formal JDL, obviously over differences of opinions regarding the stances and moves made by the Rav, - yet, however, they have continued to proudly observe the name that HE installed, the name of the organization that represented the agenda and the ideology that they supposedly were opposed to and abandoned, eventually! That's why they ever left it in the first place, isn't it?
It seems a complete paradox to me! Why leave an organization but still keep its symbol, its identity? If they really object to what it represents, then let it off, form a separate group of their own with a separate ideology and a separate name! If they believed JDL was wrong by its ENTIRE approach,- then how come they ever joined it in the first place?? I can't seem to bring any sort of sense into it..!
Can you please help illuminate this for me in any way?..
Thank you,
Gam Bashan (veGam Gil'ad ;)).

If a restaurant is vegetarian, can we assume it is kosher?
Have you heard of kosher ham?
There are rabbis who make such claims.

I'm currently at the dorms so I don't have Klinghoffer's book with me. But Klinghoffer's assertion wasn't my main point; my main point was the question of whether or not Judaism views Jesus as an evil heretic deserving of execution and hellfire!

Is there any Hollywood personality whom we can ask to support for JTF?

Dear Chaim,
When I defend America- what am I meant to say when people mention that millions of American Indians were murdered? Can't people just use this as saying that the establishment of the United States is unjustified?

Good afternoon Chaim.
Who is Lilith (Isaiah 34: 14 and elsewhere) and do you believe that she has power over human beings in this world, or is she simply allegory. Thank you.
