Ask JTF For January 13 Broadcast
Dexter:
Shalom Chaim,
What book of R' Meir Kahane would you recommend to read the most ?
Toda Raba!
Daniel:
It's Ashkenazi Jews that came up with this theory, the first one was an Israeli name Avraham Folak and later on Arthur Koestler made that theory a bit more famouse. The Nazis liked this theory because it solves the paradox of hating Jews and that Juses was a Jew. So now they use it as their propagnda.
Trumpeldor:

This is a very long question; nevertheless, it is imperative that it is addressed in some meaningful fashion.
It can be said that certain aspects of the JTF ideology are logically unsound because they descend into fallacies of association, specifically the bad company fallacy and the closely related reductio ad Hitlerum (reduction to Hitler or the Nazis).
1. JTF often attempts to delegitimize perceived enemies such as MLK or Barack Obama by emphasizing an association, however tenuous, to controversial groups such as communists, the Congressional black caucus, the Nation of Islam, or other black radicals.
This form of argumentation violates philosophical principles and reasoning. Below is an example of the accurate premises and the faulty conclusion that tends to be expressed over the duration of a show.
The Nation of Islam provided body guards and hosted speeches for MLK.
The Nation of Islam is a black supremacist organization.
Therefore, MLK supports black supremacy.
2. At times, JTF injects 'Hitler' or the 'Nazis' inappropriately in order to derail opposition by adding undue emotion, rhetoric and hyperbole to an argument. Reductio ad Hitlerum was derived by Chicago school thinker Leo Strauss in 1950. Though it often contains fallacies of association, it is more often used as a wrong direction fallacy or an ad hominem.
An example:
Hillary Clinton strongly favors socialist economic policies.
The Nazis strongly held these and similar beliefs that subsequently led to the murder of millions of people.
Hillary Clinton holds dangerous Nazi beliefs.
My overall point is that there are enough valid arguments that can be constructed against Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or whomever. You inform people of many reasons, such as Hillary's remarks about Jews and her support for bombing the Serbs.
I am not suggesting that you abandon your principles or basic style. I am suggesting that for the sake of honesty, you may have to abandon certain features of argumentation of which you are accustomed if you want to more successfully get the message across. In such a scenario, critics will have to focus on the truthful things you are saying instead of pointing out the apparent flaws in your technique.

If Jews are not allowed to hunt. Are jews allowed to use mouse traps or other? What about mammal trapping?
Hidden Author:
How would a Kahanist government react more harshly towards a republication of the Stalags than towards even "normal" pornography?
Here's an excerpt of a New York Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/06/world/middleeast/06stalags.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin) on the Stalags:
--- Quote ---The books told perverse tales of captured American or British pilots being abused by sadistic female SS officers outfitted with whips and boots. The plot usually ended with the male protagonists taking revenge, by raping and killing their tormentors...the Stalags were a distinctly Israeli genre, created by Israeli publishers and penned by Israeli authors, although they had masqueraded as translations from English and were written in the first person as if they were genuine memoirs.
--- End quote ---
I ask because it seems as though they combine porn with a desecration of the memory of the Nazis' victims.
DownwithIslam:
Hi Chaim, I know a few months ago you had an Israeli attorney working on gaining you entry into Israel. I was wondering what came of that and if their is still work being done on your behalf. Thanks so much.
