dawntreader:
I'll answer part of that right now.

Jews have always had the belief that you should study to show yourself approved. Study, study, study and then achieve. If there are a majority in any of these fields it's because many are naturally gifted in these academic areas, because they studied hard and applied themselves.

Besides, it really is a cliche and a stereotype. Many of Hollywood's top people are not Jews.

Look at Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Walt Disney, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Billy Bob Thornton (Sp?) and the list goes on and on.

Sure there are lots of Jews, but there are plenty that are not as well.

The regular news media?

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes, Bill O'Reilly....Lou Dobbs....and again the list could go on and on. All these guys are not Jewish.

dawntreader:
Oh wow...hmmm. Learn something new every day. I didn't know Colmes was Jewish.

Chaim Shalom,
I have just got this e-mail, I would like to share it with you:

-----
 Five years ago I sent you a letter which I called
 "Conversation on the Beach". In my letter I described my
 conversation with a young Palestinian student who in short
 precise terms explained how Islam will defeat the West. The
 conversation opened my eyes to a much larger picture in
 which Israel plays only a minor role in the Islamic game of
 conquest. Since then I tried to speak to some Arabs who come
 to pray at the Mosque, but they were not as outspoken as the
 student.
 Last week I had another conversation with an Israeli
 Arab construction boss by the unlikely name of Francis who
 was in charge of building a villa near our house in
 Herzelia. He told me that his family was Christian and his
 name was given to him in honor of the Franciscan monks. Our
 conversation was as interesting as the first conversation I
 had with the Arab student five years ago and I would like to
 share it with you.
 Francis frequently parked his car near our house and
 we would exchange polite greetings.
 About a week ago the water was shut off for repairs
 in the house he was building and Francis asked me if I could
 give him some hot water for his coffee.
 He was a tall man of about forty, with reddish hair
 and blue eyes. He spoke a perfect Hebrew and I, naturally
 became curious about him. I felt that he may the right
 person to exchange some views with. By his looks I assumed
 that he was either a Druze or from the Syrian region. He
 looked more like a teacher than a construction worker and as
 I later found out, he was actually a teacher by profession.
 Since my conversation with the student five years ago I was
 always curious to hear their side of the story, therefore I
 decided to invite him for a cup of coffee to our house. I
 saw him hesitate for a moment then he smiled and thanked me
 for my hospitality.
 While we drank our coffee he told me that he was
 from a small village in the Galilee called Jish, near the
 present Kibbutz Sassa.  I remembered the village very well
 as I was one of the soldiers who captured the village while
 serving in the 7th Armored brigade during the war of
 Independence in 1948. I decided not to tell him about it
 because at the time we encountered some stiff resistance at
 that village and quite a few of the inhabitants were killed.

 While I was preparing the coffee he told me a little
 about himself.
 " For a while I was a teacher and I loved teaching,
 but I couldn't make a living at it and I decided to join my
 father in law who is in the construction business."
 Judging by the large Honda he was driving I figured
 that he didn't do too badly changing his profession.
 Our conversation soon turned to the present
 situation in the Middle East , about Hamas winning the
 elections, the situation of the Israeli Arabs, and the last
 Lebanese war against Hezbolla.
 " As Christians we are in a difficult situation here
 in Israel . Unfortunately, the Moslems and especially the
 extreme Islamist section, are giving the tone here. My
 family who lived in Bethlehem probably since the Crusaders,
 had to flee for their life. The Moslems have been forcing us
 out, by threats and even murder. Bethlehem that was once
 predominantly Christian is now predominantly Moslem. Very
 little is written about it even in the Israeli press."
 He sipped his coffee and gave me a long look. He
 seemed like someone who wasn't quite sure whether to say
 what he was about to say. I gave him an encouraging nod.
 " I have to tell you something which very few of you
 seem to comprehend." He continued.
 "Your bungling war against a few thousand Hezbolla
 fighters which you should have crushed no matter what,
 considering the importance of the outcome, has created a
 completely new situation, not only for this area, but
 globally. Your inept leadership totally misunderstood the
 importance of winning this war.
 As a matter of fact, the whole Moslem world, not
 only the Arabs, simply couldn't believe that the mighty
 Israeli Army that defeated the combined Arab forces in six
 days in 1967, and almost captured Cairo and Damascus in
 1973, couldn't defeat a small army of Hezbolla men. As usual
 the Moslems see things the way they want to see things. Most
 think that the present generation of Israelis have gone soft
 and can be defeated .
 The American bungling of the war in Iraq only added
 to their conviction that victory not only over Israel but
 also over the West in not only possible, but certain.
 The ramifications of these two bungling wars may
 bring an Islamic bloody Tsunami all over the West, not only
 in Israel . The sharks smell blood and this two wars gave
 them the green light to attack sooner than they had in mind.

 Your problem is that you are on the defensive and
 they have the option to choose the time and the places when
 and where to attack and there is nothing much you can do
 about it.
 When will you Westerners realize that half measures
 don't work with people who are willing to die by the
 thousands for Allah to achieve their goal? In their eyes the
 Western World is simply an abomination on earth that has to
 be wiped out."
 He spoke quietly and I could just picture him in the
 school giving his students a lecture.
 I poured him another cup of coffee and encouraged
 him to continue.
 " The Americans, the Europeans, and even you
 Israelis really don't really know what it is all about, do
 you? During the last generation hundreds of thousands of
 children have been taught all over the Moslem world in
 Madrass schools to become martyrs for Allah in order to kill
 the infidels. These youngsters are not only are ready to do
 it, but are actually in the process of doing it. Bombs are
 going off all over the world killing and maiming thousands
 of people, not on 9/11 in the US , in London Madrid and Bali
 , but Africa , India , Bengla Dash , Egypt , Saudi Arabia
 and countless other places.
 The first signs of the Islamic Tsunami is already
 here, but the West doesn't understand, or doesn't want to
 understand what is coming.
 The Americans, instead of realizing that this is as
 bad as World War Two, or even worse, are going to pull out
 of Iraq , handing it over to Iran on a silver platter. Next
 may come the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf states. When
 dirty bombs will go off all over the Western towns who is
 going to stop the Iranians?
 Now is the time to stop them, not only because they
 are developing nuclear bombs, but because Iran has become
 the base for all Islamic terrorist. They supply, money, men
 and weapons to Islamic terrorist around the world, quite
 often trough their diplomatic mail. Billions of petro-
 dollars that are pouring into Iran are being funneled into
 terrorist organizations world-wide. They believe, and
 perhaps rightly so, that the West will do nothing to stop
 them in achieving their goals. Is history repeating itself?
 Are the Iranians making the same mistake that Hitler made
 when he attacked Poland ? Is the situation similar?
 As a history teacher who studied the subject
 thoroughly I can tell you that Western victory in World War
 Two was not all certain. Hitler could have won the war if he
 would have gone ahead with the atomic bomb development
 before the Americans. The Germans began working on it in the
 thirties, and it was Hitler's decision to prefer building
 more conventional arms, as he considered atomic weapons
 sheer fantasy.
 Hitler made the wrong decision, but had he made the
 right decision the world would have been a different type of
 world today, wouldn't it? The West won the war against
 Hitler by sheer chance. Very few people seem to realize
 that."
 I must say that his last words shook me up quite a
 bit. Had Hitler made a different decision, I would have died
 in Dachau , there wouldn't have been a Jewish state called
 Israel , and most likely there wouldn't have been any Jews
 left in the world. The idea that the Western democracies in
 general and the fate of the Jewish people in particular
 could have hinged on Hitler's one decision, is a scenario of
 the worst night mare.
 He notices that his last words had an effect on me
 and he smiled. " I see that my words are not wasted on you,"
 He said dryly.  I nodded and he continued with his lecture.

 "Coming back to our time, the Iranians rely on the
 West doing nothing about their development of nuclear bombs.
 They also rely on their secret weapon: An inexhaustible
 supply of Islamic 'Suicide Bombers', some of them who are
 already planted all over the Western World. Besides the
 Islamic countries that supply these suicide bombers, a
 second front has been opened, and that is the internet with
 more than five thousand Islamic web sites, brain washing and
 urging young Moslems to become martyrs for Allah. They
 especially target young Moslems who live in Europe and the
 West in general. The Western intelligence authorities
 consider these web sites a bigger threat than the Iranian
 atomic bomb. El Kaida recently issued a television broadcast
 that promised a devastating attack against its enemies this
 spring. As we all know, El Kaida doesn't make empty threats.

 "Actually, I don't understand why the Iranians
 bother to develop atom bombs and bring the whole world down
 on them. Every suicide bomber is a potential atom bomb, or a
 biological, chemical or dirty bomb that can be no less
 devastating than an atom bomb.  The Americans and Europeans
 have no defense against this type of war."
 "What can we do against this type warfare?" I asked
 him. "Well, you Israelis, should better prepare yourself for
 another round against Hezbolla. It will be not long in
 coming . It depends on the Iranians to give the word. This
 time you will have to destroy Hezbolla no matter what the
 cost may be.
 "Of course, your next round against Hezbolla may
 involve the Syrians and the Iranians against you. The
 Iranians declared that they will not allow Hezbolla to be
 defeated no matter what and may launch their missiles
 against you. So will the Syrians. What will Israel do? It is
 unlikely that Israel will accept its destruction and may use
 their nuclear arsenal if the West will not come to their
 help. Perhaps our Book of Revelations is not so wrong in
 describing that the end of the world would start at
 Armageddon, which we know as Har-Megiddo in Israel . The
 Book of Revelations describes the last battle would be
 fought at Armageddon between the 'Forces of good and the
 forces of evil.'"
 "And who would you call the forces of good ' Israel
 or Islam?'"I asked, looking him straight in the eyes.
 He gave me a startled look. "If I were a Moslem, I
 would have no problem to name the forces of good and it
 wouldn't be Israel . As a Christian, I would probably name
 Israel , but as a Christian Arab I would prefer not to
 answer."
 We looked at each other. His answer made it clear
 where the Israeli Arabs stood, whether they were Moslems or
 Christians. And why should I be surprised? After all The
 Israeli Arabs call the establishment of the State of Israel
 their Nakbah. (Their disaster). (This goes along with what
 I've said - - Arab Christians will always line up with the
 Arabs, not the Jews)
 "Is there a way to avoid the 'Armageddon'?"
 "I think there are two ways to avoid it. One can be
 a major war which the West can win . As in World War Two,
 had the West attacked the Germans in 1936 the war would have
 lasted not more than a month with very few casualties. Their
 procrastination resulted in World War II with all its
 consequences.
 Eventually, the West will have to tackle the
 Iranians , it is better that they do it now to avert a world
 catastrophe later. With Iran defeated the Islamic onslaught
 will lose its base, and it may be the turning point in
 history to defeat the menace of extreme Islam. The majority
 of the Moslems don't want this confrontation anyway."
 "You are painting a rather dark picture. When do you
 think we will have the next round against Hezzbola?" I
 asked.
 "I think they will attack again as soon as they are
 fully re-equipped and I think it will be during the summer,
 while Israel is still in a military and political turmoil."

 For a while we sat in silence. He finished his
 second cup of coffee and got up. "I know what I am going to
 do. I am going to Canada to join my brother. This country is
 becoming much too dangerous for Christians as well." he
 said.   He thanked me for the coffee and we shook hands.
 "You said there are two ways to avoid 'Armageddon,'"
 I remembered to ask him.
 "Sure, all the West has to do is follow Putin's
 ways. He assassinates his enemies without blinking an eye.
 Assassinate the four or five Mullahs who run the show,
 Achmenijad, and a few more Iranian fanatics, and the War can
 be avoided. It may be difficult to do, but not impossible.
 With today's hi- tech technology I am sure that new weapons
 against individuals are being prepared right now. I think it
 would be a better way of handling the matter than an all out
 war against Islam."
 The conversation with Francis was not more
 encouraging than the one I had with the Palestinian student
 five years ago. It was becoming clear that Israel may be on
 the forefront for the coming war of the West against Islam,
 unless we follow Francis' suggestion to assassinate the
 heads of the snake, rather than going to war with Islam.

angryChineseKahanist:
Chaim I always fail to thank you for your time and effort,
so, thank you.

My sympathy to Masterwolf, they should throw those
monkies out of Italy. Chain them up and ship
them back to Hades.

Who's smarter:
These ones wave their arms all over the place.


One of these figured out how to pull his head out of an attacker's jaws.
Another one tried to help.



Where ever Yosef Ben Meir is, good luck to him.

Maimonides:
Shalom Chaim and thank you as always for your hard work and answering my questioons.

Can you elaborate of why Rabbi Meir Kahane supported the Vietnam War?
