Dear Chaim, why is it when Israel can win the '67 six-day war against all 22 Arab armies when they couldn't even win in the Lebanon war in 2006? I thought Lebanon was one of the weaker countries miltary-wise in the Arab world.

Dear Chaim,
What are your thoughts on the reaction people are taking against Obama? Also what do you think of the person who created Special Olympics who died the day I'm making this post? Also what do you think of Health Care up to this point?

Dear Chaim,
Do you think that it's possible for a non-zionist to also be a Kahanist?

Shalom Chaim,
When did the idiotic, insane, self-hating (because Arabs are responsible for more slavery and genocide of Africans than any other group) schvartze love affair with Arabs and Arabic culture begin? Did Wallace Fard (ys"vz) start it with his moronic story about blacks being descended from the Arabic tribe of "Shabazz" or does it predate him? It seems to me like some retarded blacks identify more with sand negroes than their brothers and sisters in Africa.

PS: Check out this link for a story about a crazy schvartze woman who is so infatuated with Arabs that she became fluent in Arabic and toured the whole Middle East, excepting Israel. (Naturally she puts in a plug for the Fakestinians.) http://www.blacktravels.com/Egypt_Vhampton.html

Hi Chaim,
My question this week involves your wikipedia page. Here is the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Vancier
What would you change?
Also, it says "Vancier 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 not allowed to speak to an attorney nor an American Embassy official, despite the fact that he is an American citizen. He was subsequently deported to the U.S., where he now lives in the New York metropolitan area."
Can you describe the experience of being detained, held in a cell, and deported? Shouldn't you have been offered counsel or the like? If you were barred from Israel then how were you allowed on a plane that goes there to begin with? Did you know you were barred before you boarded or did you find out upon arrival?
May Moshiach come now so that you be zocheh to living there along with all of K'lal Yisroel.

At the Kotel, many Jews write notes and place it at the Western Wall. What is your opinion of this? What would you want to write, Gd willing..or even for the time being somebody to write for you?

Shalom Chaim,
My question: Do you see any chance about the StørmFrønt's ban? How would we ban that neonazi site? That's the largest fascist forum in the world, and they aren't a little danger for the Jews. Many Jewish people live in USA and there are some Jewish(maybe self-haters?) politicians. Why don't they fight against the nazism?
I really think, very seriously that the StørmFrønt must be banned. It's an international nazi organization with hateful propaganda. It's more than the free speech - in my opinion. What about the laws? Is it really allowed?
G-d bless you and your family,
Peter

My Brother Chaim,
My question this week.... Back in January 2009 pertaining to the Gaza war. Soldiers saw a woman in Gaza in different places giving them warnings- Examples: not to go into certain buildings, woke them up in the middle of the night telling them to move out & then suddenly vanished every time. The soldiers swore this was the truth & some started to become religious because she saved their lives. She identified herself as Rachel. They say this is Rachel Imeinu (רחל אימנו). Who exactly is Rachel Imeinu from ancient times. Why was she chosen to come & protect the soldiers?
I do believe that Hashem does these types of things. Please tell us your thoughts about this.
Thank you for answering my question in advance. I hope you got some needed sleep this week. Thank you for all your hard work!

Hello Chaim,
I hear many people nowadays claim that 'I believe in G-d but I don't believe in religion' or 'I'm spiritual but not religious' is this a bad sign for the future? What do you think lead to all this cynicism? What do you think is G-d response to all of this?
Thanks As Always,

Shalom Chaim,
rabbi Kahane position was that arabs should make a pledge to Israel or get out. I think it would be only fair to demand allegiance to the state from Jews and non-Jews alike. What is the position towards anti-Zionist weirdos in the haredi community? Will the Satmars and similar ardent anti-Zionist ilk be forced to leave Israel? Will they be required to serve in IDF? I am not concerned with NK - we all know what should happen to them.

Shalom Chaim,
There is a vicious commentator on MSNBC named Rachel Maddow, who I couldn't stomach more than a few minutes of. I'm not very familiar with her. If you are familiar with her, I would be interested to hear your commentary on her. Thank you in advance.

Greetings Chaim. Do you think that when someone dies, that G-d will answer all their questions and resolve arguments about which doctrines/rabbinic opinions were right, and will people be punished if they were on the wrong side of a particular issue?

Thank you very much for your enlightening answer last week about evilness and genius.
Referring to this subject I would like to mention German physicist Wernher von Braun.
I think he was a brillant scientist but a complete monster. Apparently he even asked for forced labour in 1943 but later on he referred about this period of knowing nothing about people who were suffering.
Personally I can't understand why this man wasn't executed at the Nuremberg trials.
So I have 2 questions this week:
1. Do you agree that Wernher von Braun was the ultimate example of evilness and brilliance?
2. Why in the world did America pick this man for their NASA program?
Kind regards
davinci
PS: May Wernher von Braun burn in hell forever!

Dear Chaim:
I appreciate you answering my question two weeks ago. I’ll do my best to inform my sister about Jew-Gentile relationships, but she is very materialistic and self-absorbed and spends most of her time focusing on the unimportant aspects of life.
I was wondering, why again don’t you like Mike Savage? I remember you answering questions saying you don’t like him and that you believe he copies your material. That would be flattering if such a famous person was tuning into JTF. Anyway, I see what you mean about similar material; his views seem pretty right on. He is for the ending of MLK day and criticizes MLK. He thinks we should round up all illegal’s and deport them and cap legal immigrant unless they are sophisticated “producers.” He is also very anti-Muslim, even going so far as to say we should ban Islam (which I agree). However, although he may be very pro-Jew and pro-Israel, I don’t think he is a very observant Jew, therefore allowing me to see why that would greatly bother you.
I really feel the passion is what he is saying and have not heard one thing I don’t agree with. The only thing is when it comes down to actually observing Judaism; he is no Chaim Ben Pesach. He says America is a Judeo-Christian nation and actually knows the history of Christianity as an extension of Judaism (from a Christian perspective) and thus is why America is generally considered a “Judeo-Christian” nation. Hannity and Limbaugh are all about the “Benjaman$” while Savage is more honest and not as preoccupied with advertisers etc. Hannity and Limbaugh actually ask for money if you want to listen to them through their web site while Savage posts his sows at the end of everyday on youtube.
I am editing this post to include that on Savage's Aug. 14th show he criticized Bill Clinton for bombing as he worded it "the innocent Serbian people." This is an example of another honorable message Savage is able to publicize to his average of 10 million listeners.
I don’t know if you know much about Hebrew / Yiddish etymology but do you know the origin, meaning, and history surrounding the words “schmuck” and “schvartza?” I remember a famous Jew calling Obama a schvartza to a reporter and the media going wild. Though some did say it is just a term for black and is not in any way derogatory. Is that true?
All the best to you Chaim and thanks for what you do.

Is there a Jewish equivalent to hymns?

Hello Chaim.
I have a few questions regarding Rabbi Kahane. I know you can't speak for him but I was curious if he had any particular political views regarding the balkans. Do you know if he ever expressed any opinions regarding Tito's communist Yugoslavia in his writings or in the media? Did he know about the Holocaust in Yugoslavia and how Serbs resisted the Nazis? If he were still alive today, do you think he would have the same opinions regarding Serbs and the Yugoslav Wars of the 90s as you do?

Dear Chaim,
Yemach Shema to the ugly traitor and co-founder of Code Pink, Medea Benjamin. This animal describes herself as "a nice Jewish girl from Long Island". She was born "Susan Benjamin" but changed her name to "Medea", probably because she is a self hating slut. Moreover, this "nice Jewish girl" married outside the faith, and continues to disgrace herself with the other dykes in Code Pink by undermining our military. May she and others like her burn in Esh Gehenom forever.
Are the recent events at Townhall meetings evidence suggesting that the sleeping giant of America is awakening and getting ready to stand tall against obamunism?

Chaim, what is your take on the obama healthcare bill? What is wrong with it, is there anything dangerous about it? Is it going to radically change how the medical field is conducted in this country? I don't know anything about the bill and haven't had the time to really delve into it to find out the facts about it. What exactly is it all about? (I realize you may have commented on this already but I have missed the past few programs and haven't seen your posts in the forum about it, so please try to give me your best answer).
Thanks, Chaim and God bless you.

Shalom Chaim,
Thanks for another great show last week and for answering my questions.
Are you familiar with the person and work of Eric Hoffer? He was known as the “longshoreman philosopher,” because he worked on the San Francisco waterfront (after years as a migratory worker in California). He gained national prominence with his first book, “The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements,” published in 1951.
Hoffer was blind as a child, but his eyesight miraculously came back. He never attended any school and was completely self-taught. His life story is very interesting and inspiring. President Reagan was influenced by his writings and presented him with the 'Presidential Medal of Freedom'.
Many have pointed out that Hoffer’s analysis of “the true believer,” although written with the followers of Hitler and Stalin in mind, was also applicable to IslamoNazis. After The True Believer, Hoffer published eight more books. He died in May 1983. In addition to being a strong opponent to communism and socialism, he was a big supporter of Israel and an admirer of the Jews.
Below is short editorial he wrote to the LA TIMES on May 26, 1968. It is very interesting and prophetic.
If you don’t want to read this because of time restraints. Here is a short snippet from it. I’d like to know your thoughts about him and these words.
Thanks very much.
May Hashem strengthen you. Chazak v'emahtz!

From ISRAEL'S PECULIAR POSITION by Eric Hoffer, LA Times 5/26/68
“The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews ... Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world ... Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed ... No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on ... The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us ... I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us."

The complete piece:
ISRAEL'S PECULIAR POSITION
By Eric Hoffer (LA Times 5/26/68)
The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it, Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese - and no one says a word about refugees.
But in the case of Israel the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab.
Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world.
Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed. Had Nasser triumphed last June he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews. No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on.
There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia. But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him. The Swedes, who are ready to break off diplomatic relations with America because of what we do in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway.
The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.
I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us.

Hi Chaim,
Greetings and blessings to you and to all AM ISRAEL!
Probably the most important question for these times: What can the average Israeli, American, Canadian, or any freedom loving citizen of any nation actively and realistically do to help prevent the evil Iranian Nazi's from obtaining nuclear weapons?? It really feels like the Israeli government will let this happen chas ve challila....
Would love to hear your thoughts and advice on this, my birthday is this Shabat and it would be a gift to get your response.
Thanks!

Dear Chaim,
I would like to know your thoughts on the "New World Order" given that most of the people in my opinion who seem to be running things from behind the puppet political leaders are powerful, wealthy and include numerous Jewish business people and Jewish politicians?
My question is this, why then are they allowing the Islamification of Europe and the world no doubt, why then are they bringing about their extinction and that of their own people by allowing the arabs to become more powerful.
Many Thanks

Hello Chaim. Around 2 weeks ago on the news I heard that Westchester county passed a law that they have to give blacks and spanish people Houses for cheap. I do not mean apartments but Houses. Don't you think these humps get enough already know they have to get houses for cheap when good honest people have to break their backs to live a normal life. When do you think these immigrants will stop getting everything for free and decent people will start to get a little push. Thanks and as always GD bless

Just a comment Chaim:
Many times you say that other peoples have disappeared and the Jewish people outlasted them. This isn't true. The names have just changes..The Persians are now called Iranians, Babylonians are called Syrians..The Greeks still exist and the Romans are now Italians. All of these peoples don't have their large empires anymore but they still have land. All of these peoples may be mixed now, but so are the Jews. Some of their culture may have changed, but you have to admit the culture of the Jews has changed also from thousands of years ago. These peoples/cultures have not disappeared. Maybe you mean to say their ancient religions disappeared?

Hello brother Chaim
How can we in JTF put an all out Anti Socialist health care campaign? I know what socialist medicine is. I been to Canada and Europe and it is a nightmare beyond words. Look what parasites did to Medicaid and Medicare. Maybe we in JTF should all come out full swinging on this issue.

I remember when you really liked Anne Coulter, but then she made the "perfected Jew" comment and you took down the entry on her from the webpage. Do you really think that she doesn't like Jews? and that comment was taken out of proportion? I don't think she meant what she said. Sometimes I say things that come out the wrong way.

Dear Chaim,
I pray for your safety and wise leadership for your country and your organization. You are truly someone with the knowledge and the truth on these issues facing our world and both Israel and America, these days.
I spend my days trying to talk to other Christians, which I know to be a sleeping giant in this country, who is slowly waking up. Very slowly, but arising in anger over the current administration. I try diligently to those who are ignorant and drank the koolaid and thought this man, Obama would be some great change for the better. I worked as hard as I could during the election and supported Palin, and did all humanly possible as a wife and mother to stop this current evil in the White House.
Some Christians have woken up that I have talked too, and they will not be deceived again, when presented with the facts. But my greatest question, which I do not understand, is why have the majority of Jewish people ignored the ties this man has to the Muslim faith, the ties to those who blatantly hate Israel, to those who hate the Jewish people, and blame them for their problems, to communistic leanings, etc. How did they miss these facts, how can they miss these facts still and bellow support for this man? Are they blind, deaf and dumb? Do they not care about Israel, or America? I cannot find an answer to this incredibly confusing issue.
Also, I have support financially the immigration of Jews from Russian to Israel through the Fellowship of Christians and Jews. I know what the Bible says about this issue and I know for the safety of the whole world, Israel must stand strong, and its people return to their G-d given homeland. I know this and have known it for many years. Is there a better organization that I am unaware of that would use the money to better use to assist those Jews who wish to go home to Israel? Out of ignorance, I suppose I saw what this Rabbi was doing and have support this agency, but if there is some other one better, and I believe and trust others judgment over this issues, please advise me.
Thank you and may G-d richly bless and protect you.

Shalom Chaim and Thank you as always for your hard work and for answering my questions.
Do you believe the official story behind the John F. Kennedy assassination, that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK? Or was it a conspiracy? I know that leftists claim it was the military-industrial complex, but other than those theories do you have any of your own or did Lee Harvey Oswald do it all by himself?

If G-d willing you are able to get into Israel, have you decided where you would live there? Would it be a place such as Kfar Tapuach or Kiryat Arba, which are known as Kahanist strongholds? Would it definitely be in Judea and Samaria?
Also are you familiar with the work of David Ha Ivri who has tried to create a grass roots connection between Americans and Jews in Yesha? It seems like a great idea but perhaps should have been done 20 years ago. Also I wonder how effective groups such as his are. I talked to him about forming a sister city between where I live and one of the outposts in the Shomron. He told me someone would get in touch with me and I never heard from him. Years ago there was a group advertising that they were buying land in Yesha from Arabs. I sent them a check to buy a tiny parcel (actually I believe it was more of a long term land lease) and my check never cleared. It seems like there are lots of good ideas out there but a lack of people who can effectively bring them about.

Dear Chaim,
I just read a very disturbing article on Aruts Sheva that wealthy Arabs from the Persian Gulf are buying up hundreds of Dunams of land in the Galilee.
The Knesset passed a bill that mandates the sale of of 155 square miles (99,000 acres) by 2014, and an additional 155 square miles to be sold after 2014.
This is national suicide. Israel is too geographically small, already. In my opinion, if the Jewish farmers want to sell the land, and other Jewish Israeli citizens can't afford to purchase this land, the State of Israel should intervene and purchase this land for fair compensation, in order to prevent it being sold to Arabs, and to protect Israel's vital land resources.
Israel's size is only 7,984 square miles. Of these 7,984 miles, I don't know how many square miles were given away already to Arabs, or how much other Israeli Jewish land is already owned by foreign elements.
Just for the point of a quick calculation: 310 square miles out of 7,984 square miles means almost 4 % of her land, up for sale to Arabs. But the truth is Israel doesn't even own all of it's 7,984 square miles. So the percentage of Jewish land up for sale to Arabs, is much higher than 4%.
Israel is setting herself up for disaster! The leaders of Israel can't give away Jewish land fast enough. The State of Israel is either throwing Jews permanently off their property or allowing Arabs to purchase enormous swaths of Israeli Jewish land.
What are your thoughts on this matter?
Sincerely,
Aces High

What is your opinion of the so called religion of Scientology and Ron Hubbard. This is Chad by the way.
Thanks

Chaim, 2 suggestions:
Give yourself a break and do "ask JTF" once every two weeks or don't read the entire question, just a summary.
Also video tape yourself doing "ask JTF" and play it on QPTV in order to get older viewers (ones that are not internet savvy). I've met quite a few older people (senior citizens)who are asking what happened to you.

Dear Chaim,
Is it morally wrong to practice Taquiyya with Muslims and/or anti-Semites? Sometimes, I pass as a non-Jew with my last name and appearance. In this way, I often appreciate anti-semitism around me when others do not suspect that they are talking in front of soomeone Jewish. I always condemn anti-semitism, but I do not come out as a Jew necessarily. Many of these encounters occur at work or in social settings. I am never silent in the face of anti-Semitism, but I am often 'undercover' so to speak. I don't like it, but don't think I could handle my own anger if I were to be super direct.
Thank you Chaim.

Shalom Chaim,
The Constitution says there shall be "no cruel and unusual punishment." However, the Torah says that there should be "an eye for an eye." When I read about things like the savage Michael Vick who ran a dogfighting ring, I believe that people like him should get cruel and unusual punishment. Despite being one of the highest paid football players in America, Vick lost all of his many millions of dollars and went bankrupt. This didn't stop blacks from insisting that he is a role model for kids. (MMMM-HHHHMMMM!!!) Vick also ran a dogfighting operation where dogs were treated horriffically. It is my belief that someone like Michael Vick should be eaten alive by animals, or some other hideous death, for what he did. I don't think the Constitution and its prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment" should apply to savages who don't abide by our country's laws. I also think that the professional football and basketball leagues should be abolished because they do nothing but provide employment for savages and distract the American public from real issues. What do you think?

Shalom Chaim,
What do you think about the Israeli health care and health insurance systems? Are they better or worse than the American ones? How would you change them, if at all?
Thank you.
