All I said was that I think we should all be working together instead of having all of these tiny splinter groups. Do you disagree? Do you think everyone should have their own seperate little organizations?
On the broadcast, I again invited Yekutiel and his followers to join JTF, which is the one Kahanist organization in both Israel and America that is NOT just a splinter group.
It's a pleasure to speak to you Chaim. I hope that I'm able to clear up what I don't see eye to eye with you on.
1. Yes, I do disagree with you saying that Yukutiel is a splinter group
2. And I also disagree that it is a bad thing to have many Kahanist groups.
1. Yukutiel was the right hand man of R' Kahane Zs'l and his son Binyamin Kahane Zs'l in Israel and was physically with the Rav when the Rav was running the movement in the prime of his life in Israel before he died, not simply communicating with him via phone calls even though this is a good thing as well. In my opinion, the man who was the right hand man of a great leader before he died is the man who best understand the message and is the next leader. Take Joshua for example, who led after Moses. or use Elijah the propeht's student as an example. Therefore, it is not Yukutiel who is a splinter movement, but JTF which is a splinter movement according to this logic. Also you Chaim are not in Israel for 17 years after the Rav died (unfortunitely), and it is impossible to lead if you are not in Israel. Even the great R' Kahane needed to move to Israel to put his ideas into place, he was not able to do it from America. Therefore, even if you deem yourself more worthy than Yukutiel, he is in Israel currently and therefore has the right of way as we say "from Tzion the Torah comes forth and the word of G-d from Jerusalem". When you get to Israel, hopefully Yukutiel and yourself will work together. I deem you to be the better leader since Yekutiel doesn't have the same leadership qualities as yourself, therefore it is imperative that G-d lets you arrive in Israel and lead from there.
2. I think the more Kahanist groups out there, the better it is for us since if one group is shut down by the government, or it's leader is killed then there are other groups are able to take over. However, I think there must be one leader to unite all Kahanist groups, and the problem today is that many people want to be leader. Yukutiel has announced that he has no aspirations of being a leader but simply wants to be left in Tapauch. I would love if Chaim would lead all the Kahanist groups in America, this would be a great thing. And when you go to Israel it would be great if you could lead the movement there, as you are the only one who has the initiative to do what is right and the only one with leadership qualities.
Yekutiel rarely logs on to his forum and doesn't control it well. When he catches people posting bad things about you, he responds that they should stop doing it. I don't think that that is good enough and that he should delete these comments as you are saying. The only negative thing Yukutiel said about you was with your account of the events between R' Kahane and Kach towards the end of his life, other than that he never said anything bad about you. But it goes the other way as well, since you call Yukutiel a splinter group and don't consider R' Kahane's son Binyamin to be a worthy leader, and Jimmy called Yukutiel a worm. I agree with you that Yukutiel shouldn't have anything to do with traitors like the Rubins.
In any event, we must support Yekutiel in this legal case. I urge all of our members to write to the judge on Yekutiel's behalf. I personally will not write, because I am concerned that a letter from Chaim Ben Pesach might actually hurt him. But others should write.
Thank you Chaim. That is refreshing to hear.
This is the last post I'm making about this matter. I don't want to start any arguments.
