OdKahaneChai:
Someone onder the name of JEWISHTaskForce put this up on youtube (on their page):


JTF's (Jewish Task Force) views have been condemned by mainstream Jewish organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, with the latter organization listing the JTF web site as a hate group.

Rabbi Meir Kahane, was a slime-ball who founded a terrorist organization.
Both the U.S. State Department and the State of Israel designate Kach and Kahane Chai as terrorists and criminals.
Rabbi Kahane's philosophy is supported by probably less than 5% of the Israeli population. Most Israelis are embarrassed by him and condemn him. The political parties that bear his name are outlawed in Israel as terrorist, criminal, and an embarrassment to the Jewish people.


Chaim Ben Pesach :
- Went to jail for bombing Egyptian targets in an effort to stop the Israeli retreat from the Sinai Peninsula. In the 1980s, he bombed Soviet diplomatic targets in New York and tear-gassed a ballet performance at Lincoln Center that featured Soviet performers. He continued as JDL Chairman until his arrest in 1987. He pleaded guilty in connection with six bombings and was sentenced to 10 years but served five and a half before being released on probation.
- Chaim is banned from entering Israel because of his support of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach Party, which has been outlawed in Israel.
- In 1996, he tried to emigrate to Israel, but was immediately detained at Ben-Gurion International Airport upon his arrival, and was placed in administrative detention in a cell in the airport.
- He was subsequently deported to the U.S., where he now lives in the New York metropolitan area.

Any words for them?

ftf:
Hi Chaim

Not what I'd been plaaning to ask this week, just something I've been thinking about, Pastor John Hagee and his group Christians united for Israel have very similar views to JTF, unlike JTF, they have 50 million members and a lot of money, I'm wondering if it would be possible to form some sort of alliance with them?

Shalom.

judeanoncapta:
Dear Chaim,  what do you think about the cutting of kivtzat yeladim? On the one hand, it has thrown thousands of Jews into even deeper poverty. On the other hand, it has cut the Arab Birthrate by 1 child overall, perhaps buying Israel some time before transfer can be implemented. What do you think?

Shlomo:
Dear Chaim, I am so proud! If you search YouTube for Hillary Clinton, JTF is on page 1 and 2! I wanted to share the wonderful news.

I'm posting this on behalf of Yacov Menashe. [Yacov Menashe inserts: Jeffguy did this voluntarily. I didn't ask him to do so like I ask Jimmy to do so.]

Do you consider yourself to be Modern Orthodox? Religious Zionists are part of Modern Orthodoxy.

Have you ever been in Germany? How do you feel about Jews who live there?
