Dear Chaim,

I had an idea that I would like your opinion about.  It was actually Rabbi Kahane's idea not mine but I think it could work even better twenty-five years later than when he thought of it.  I think we should get some of our people on the ground in Israel to call for a national referendum on the following four questions:

Question 1:  Should we annex the west bank and gaza and make them a part of Israel proper?

Question 2:  Should we transfer out the arabs living in the territories, while allowing those to who wish to remain as resident strangers with personal rights but no national rights?

Question 3:  Should Israel pre-empt an attack by iran?

Question 4:  Should we allow Chaim ben Pesach to return to Israel and run for the knesset on his Hayamin platform?

I think the people would vote overwhelmingly in favour of these proposals.  The hard part of course would be getting the government to hold a referendum to begin with, but with a good campaign and G-d's help we might be able to do it.  What do you think?  Do you like the idea of a national referendum?

Thanks as always,

Zachor_ve_kavod

Shalom Chaim,

I was somewhat miffed by your answer to my Ask JTF comment. Yes, majority of Georgians supported Stalin, but so did majority of Russians and even greater majority of Jews - there was a mass hysteria and fanatism in USSR at that time.

My point is that yes, we should support what is good for Jews, but at the same time, we need to have a universal moral compass and a sense of loyalty. Jews live in Georgia for more than 2500 years and never was an episode in history when Jewish people were hurt in Georgia because of their origin. Russia, on the other hand, represents a history racism, xenophobia and pogroms.

Mr. Saakashvili is a Harvard educated lawyer, fluent in 5 languages, democratically elected, most pro-Western president of the little country which is very friendly to Israel and USA. Georgian killed Ossetians like Polish killed German border guards in 1939 to provoke an invasion of Poland. About 300,000 Georgians expelled from Ossetia by Russians in 1992.

I hoped your statement in support of Georgian people would be much stronger!

Shalom ahi!

Ulli:
Dear Mr. ben Pessach,

if a Kahanist gouvernment will be established in Israel, will there be a special authority to monitor and bring down the enemies of a righteous society, who try to poison the unfortified minds of the people with evil ideas?

I think about Muslim dawa workers, gay right activists, socialists, feminists, animal right activists or members of other cults?

If we take over in a gentile country will there be an authority for this tasks too?

Sincerly,

Ullli

RanterMaximus:
Shalom Chaim,

Do you believe that with the current state of today's Republican Party, with it's shift to big government and more moderate to liberal leanings on so many issue's, would the party accept Ronald Regan or Barry Goldwater nowadays?  Thank you, and may God Bless you.

Shamgar:
Shalom Chaim,

When we raise enough money to remodel your broadcast studio, what image would you like to have as the backdrop? Personally, I think an image of the fully rebuilt Temple on the Mount would make a strong point and be a rallying message. But of course it is your decision.
