Ask JTF for Sunday, May 31, 2009
MR VSS:
Chaim,
I work in an atmosphere with persons of African American background. Knowing that I am of the Jewish faith one of the asked me “There have been so many terrible things that have happened throughout history, why do the Jews think they are the only ones that have suffered?” I said the Holocaust is without precedence in history, because one third of an entire race was murdered while the entire world watched and did nothing.
Another asked “Why ain’t there no Jewish gangsters?” I said there used to be some Jews involved in organized crime but Jewish doctrine puts an emphasis on family and responsibility and that is why you don’t hear about Jews being in gangs.
What do you think of my answers and how would you respond to those questions.
Thank you and May G-D bless you and all JTF members.

Dear Chaim,
I think it's remarkable that JTF predicted 9/11 long before it happened. In retrospect, tracing the proliferation of Islamic terrorist activity since the first world trade centre bombing in 1993 shows an escalation that could only logically and tragically lead to 9/11.
Now that Obama is leading America's national security to ruin, do you predict that America will be attacked again, possibly in the near future?
Thanks,
Zachor_ve_kavod.

Suppose we bombed heavily and then liberated Jordan, Parts of Syria, Lebanon, and Sinai/North Egypt this year.
How would we go about populating these areas with Jews and building infrastructures?
Would we build on the preexisting cities?
Or would be bomb them all to rubble and build from scratch?
Who would do the building? (would we bring in foreign workers and risk having them cause problems?)
Do you think there are enough Jews to settle these areas now?
How did Joshua conquer?
Did he keep the towns mostly intact? Or level them and rebuild?
Mishmaat:
Shalom Chaim,
Already that Socialist demagogue and his filthy administration have begun dictating to Israel that she must concede land and give up her liberated territories to the Muslims. He's not content with having diminished the value of the dollar and severely damaging the U.S. economy with his disastrous policies. Now his foreign policy, as it relates to Israel, will cause G-d to pour out his wrath on America if he succeeds, G-d forbid. This fellow is the most anti-Semitic President ever. Jimmy Carter must be blushing.
On a lighter note, may you please share with us an African-Action story?
You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Kol tuv.

I have a Morrocan Israeli friend that says he's Morrocan whenever somebody asks him what nationality he is. He said he was afraid that since the whole world hates Israel they will give him problems if he says he's Jewish or Israeli.
Now I can understand an answer like that when a Muslim taxi driver asks a question like that. However in the other instance I disagree with the concept of being afraid of what people think. What do you think I should tell him?
Thank you
Dr. Dan
