Greetings Chaim. Anti-Semites are always talking about the Khazar theory which claims that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended at all from the original Israelites but are descended from a group called the Khazars. I believe genetic studies have proven this false, but I was curious about why you thought that Anti-Semites like that theory so much.

IsraeliGovtAreKapos:
Hello my dear friend Chaim הי"ו, as a PM, what would your relations with Russia and China be?

Dr. Dan:
Shalom Chaim

It was a pleasure meeting you and your mother the other day.  I have to admit I was a little star struck.  Has that ever happened to you?  To whom was it and what did it feel like?

Thank you

Dr Dan

Shalom Chaim,

I recently learned that the Lutheran religion was founded by a vicious anti-Semite, Martin Luther. He was not only anti-Semitic but viciously intolerant of Catholics and all other denominations of Christianity. This surprised me because I always found Lutherans to be extremely nice people and not anti-Semitic at all. Most of the Lutherans I met are from the Midwestern US, of Scandinavian or German descent, and very kind and polite folks. How is it that a religion started by such an evil man has changed so much? Or do Lutherans still hold anti-Semitic views, just privately or something?

Also do you think there should be a military draft in America?

Manch:
Shalom Chaim,
I am very impressed with your answer to my question last week. I completely agree with you - a combination of proper Jewish and rigorous formal science education planted in the right business and civil rights framework will create in Israel an explosive mix for progress beyond anyone's wildest expectations. All the while when islamist will go back to eating sand.

I just finished reading a book by Chaim Herzog & Gishon - "Battles of the Bible". I am in awe at our "militaristic" forebears! What a plead of warriors we had! Joshua, Gideon, Joab, Rehoboam, Judah of Maccabeus, King Ahab, King Hezekiah, King David and many others.  This is when Judaism was alive! No white sock, black fur hat and self-hating Jews - just Kahanists! Throughout history, Jews always fought against a massively superior enemies in numbers and in armament.  Jews relied on G-d (religious fervor -according to bolshevik authors), ingenuity, surprise, courage and on the terrain. Time and time again inferior Jewish forces defeated their enemies by entrapping them in the mountain passes.

Which brings me to my point. Jews barely ever inhabited coastal regions - one of the reasons that Judea stood independent was its mountain terrain - no army, modern or ancient, likes to get into the mountain warfare.  Guess who inhabited the coastal areas? - Philistines! It is such a historical and moral travesty, besides being a military and strategic idiocy, to trade Coastal Areas for Judea! If Jews don't belong in Judea, we don't belong anywhere in Israel!
