Ask JTF for Sunday, August 30, 2009
The One and Only Mo:
Dear Chaim,
I don't believe any Muslim country has nuclear weapons yet, and I feel that once they do, Israeli Intelligence will know and destroy them before it is too late. Do you think that a nuclear war will happen? If so, when? Who do you think the country/countries will be to use nukes first? If any Muslim country actually had nukes now, would Israel or the U.S. seriously not do anything and wait for the enemy to make the first move? If any Muslim country had nukes ready to to go, would that Muslim country just stand pat and not try to kill as many Jews or non-Muslims as possible? Thanks and may Hashem help us.

Shalom Chaim,
During your last "Ask JTF" show you've stated, non verbatim, that Israeli Jews are tired of following the same old policies of appeasement and compromises with the arab enemy and should try new solutions, Kahanist solutions, that worked in the ancient history and brought victories and glory to our people.
I am not certain that every Jew, myself included, will find this argument unquestionable -our people psyche is ingrained with a great deal of aversion and fear of rabbi Kahane's, ZT"L HY"D, ideas since the calamity and subsequent Holocausts of the Bar Kochba, ZT"L revolt. All three major revolts by proud and G-d fearing Jews were cruelly subdued by then reigning super power.
Secondly, how do we construct our message and our program so that it appeals to all not self-hating segments of Israeli society and assures them that under Kahanist government's leadership Israel will not be subjected to another unimaginable catastrophe and holocaust?
I think we should have a clear understanding of this concern and ensure that our program of actions will not bring about another calamity. I think Rabbi Kahane, ZT"L HY"D, never completely addressed this valid concern that most Jews have. I do not think we, yet, have a well defined answer as well. I believe that our people, with the help of righteous Gentiles, are capable of delivering permanent security to Israel. We can find a solution that does not solely rely on Divine protection without disregard of geo-political realities while, at the same time, this solution doesn't not discard but embraces Divine protection promised in Torah. What are your thoughts on these subjects?

Greetings Chaim. I wasn't able to think of a question this week, but I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do.

Shalom Chaim,
First of all, Yimach Shimam to that fat, ugly and evil bastard Ted Kennedy, who is now in a very warm place.
My question is this. It seems to me that most people who torture and kill animals will later go on to do the same to humans. I am not referring to killing animals for food, such as hunting or slaughtering, nor am I talking about a farmer protecting his crops or something. What I am referring to is things like the actions of the savage negro beast who burned a cat to death inside an oven several weeks ago. Or Michael Vick and his filthy dogfighting ring. Cruelty to animals, in its intention, is basically the same as cruelty to humans. I do of course think that a human life is more valuable than an animal life. However, I think we let people who torture and kill animals get off with too light of a punishment. I genuinely think that since these types of people are statistically so likely to go on to harm humans, they should just be executed and gotten out of society. Do you agree?

Shalom Chaim
In the first book of Moses, God destroys all life on earth because of the wickedness of mankind.
But what exactly is meant with that? Are there any description of rabbis on how people behaved before the flood?
And in chapter 9 of the first book of Moses, verse 13-15, God promises that terrestrial life would never again be destroyed by flood.
Does that mean that it is still possible that God will destroy the whole world but just not through a flood?
Regards
davinci
