Chaim,

Abraham was born in the year 1948 on the Jewish calendar, and of course Jewish sovereignty in Israel was restored in the year 1948 on the Roman calendar.  Any connection?

I was thinking about how different minorities deal with their situations and focused on Blacks and Chinese.  Blacks seemed to emphasize loud campaigns with lots of attention and demands upon government and others.  The Chinese seemed to quietly go about getting educated, building businesses and quietly succeeding without calling much attention to themselves.  Jews do much of the successful things Chinese do, but do call a lot of attention to themselves.

I am thinking that Jews need more quiet action.  People who just get things done without calling lots attention to themselves.  An example is Avri Ran.  I've looked for information on him and there is very little except for Arabs and leftists who complain about getting beaten by him.  Presumably there is not much information on him because he does not do press interviews or ask for attention.  Reportedly, his farm has no security gates he just beats the tar out of anyone who bothers him (probably accounts for his legal problems).  However, he is settling his hilltop and inspiring other Jews to do the same.   I realize this is not the JTF model, which is a faifly political movement, but there seems (to me) to be a great need for it.  Do you agree?

ItalianZionist:
What is your opinion of King Herod? I know as christians we have a bad opinion, but what is the Jewish view on him and is Josephus's accounts of him and others accurate?

Jorje15:
Dear Chaim.

What did you think of Ike back in September? Why is Thanksgiven so important? What will you do on that day? Can I have a link to the JTF Archives so that I can convert your videos to MP4 so that my brother who is also on this fourm and has 1000 post? Why did the US go to Iraq when we should be in Iran! Bonus: What will Obama do in the White House? Is FOX News a Left or Right wing new channel? Sholum. Sorry if I spelled it wrong.

Zelhar:
Shalom Chaim,

I think I'd vote for the Ichud-Leumi/Mafdal or whatever they are going to name themselves in the coming Israeli elections. A vote for Chazit or for Israel Eldad's party is equivalent to voting for third candidate in the US pres' elections and I wouldn't like to throw my voting power to the trash. What is your thought about the voter's dilemma  and how could you ever overcome it if you run for election in Israel ?
