Ulli:
Dear Mr. ben Pesach, thank you for answering my question last week.

My question this week is:

I have found in an old book a picture from the Holy Land before 1900. In the explanation is written, that the Christians and Jews there, have to build walls around their vineyards and in addition to that towers in it with guards, because the Muslimes are stealing the grapes like the ravens.

If I read today the newspapers in my country I find everday a lot of news about Muslimes committing    property offenses.

Why do the Muslimes do this since more than 100 years?

Sincerly Ullrich

Dear Chaim,

I've been having an argument with liberal Jewish guy who was commenting on the Jews Against Obama blog (which by the way, got over 1,000 visitors yesterday) about Chaim Weizman.  He said that Weizman's quote about the Jews of Europe being like dust was taken out of context.  This is what he wrote to me:


--- Quote ---The line you are quoting here is taken out of context. He was asked if he could save all of European Jewry. He said he could not take 6 million…he would try to take two million–primarily youth–and the elders would be left to suffer their fate whatever it might be. “They were dust , economic and moral dust in a cruel world.” reflects the fatalistic mindset, reflecting the difficult task of a man who was not yet in Political power (one could argue that he never was), and whose hands were tied by various governments. The real blood is on the hands of the Nazis and the (often silent) complicity of a number of European governments, the Vatican, and the American Government. Britian and the US refused to take the refugees…that lead to the bleak realpolitik and true context of Weizmann’s statement.

I understand you must harbor negative feelings, as many do, towards the Jewish Agency. I don’t believe it’s fair to blame Weizmann in the face of failures by a multitude of Jewish and non-Jewish individuals who held power in the world at the time. Remember that we all view the Holocaust with Promethean knowledge. Yet, at the time few were aware of the scale of the madness. I did not plan to go down this road…I’d like to bring it back.

So how would you respond to this comment?

Thank you very much.

Do you think that the recent advances in genetic research that allow us to trace genetic ancestry with ever increasing precision will be instrumental in discovering the lost tribes of Israel? Could this all be part of G-d's plan?

I just got back from a 10 day trip to Israel.  My favorite place in Israel other than Jerusalem is the Golan Heights.
Throughout israel I see the phrase " N Nach Nachman Meuman"  What  is this phrase and what does it mean?

Hello Chaim,

I am opposed to non-white immigration. I find it horrifying to see thousands of white men and women having non-white partners.
Is it a crime to defend the white race against intermarriage?
