Chaim,
   The Pomonoc housing project was spitefully placed right in the middle of a nice Jewish neighborhood deliberately to make the neighborhood awful. Why would the politicians want to destroy Fresh Meadows and Kew Gardens Hills. It may seem like a hopeless cause in this mad liberal world, but are there any real steps that we can take to get rid of this project and others like it?Thanks~

Let me explain my cynicism. I oppose Islam and think it is incredible that so many non-Muslims would go to such great lengths to whitewash it. So I would like to support Israel. Unfortunately it seems that Israel does not always support America.

The U.S.S. Liberty incident seems to be one such case. I would like to believe it was an accident but apparently the survivors have reason to believe it was deliberate. In a letter to skeptic Maury Bennett, U.S.S. Liberty survivor John Gidusko explained why he believed that the Israeli attack was deliberate:

(Here is an excerpt of Gidusko’s letter.)


--- Quote ---1) You know what the ship looked like, Maury! A ten-year
old boy could have identified it. Israel couldn't?

2) The MTB's claim the attack stopped after the torpedo
hit and they identified the ship. A lie. They didn't.

3) They approached the ship to within 50 feet... and were
shooting at the sailors putting out fires and helping one
another for a full 40 minutes after the torpedo hit, and

4) Shooting up the life rafts that were put in the water.

5) Many have read the stuff at NSA of the ATTACKING planes
which included the sighting of the American flag. NSA
did NOT release those documents, Maury. Only the copters
AFTER the attack.

6) Up until now the Israeli story was that the attacking
pilots claimed there was no flag on the ship, the MTBs
said there was none... and now with the NSA transcript,
we see the copter SAW the American flag right away.
Who's lying?

7) Worst of all -- the U.S. government cover-up of the
incident. Our government turned its back on the survivors,
and you too Maury! Most of the survivors do not wish to
accept this lying down.

Then there is the Lavon Affair. If you do not know what the Affair was about, ask me and I will comment about it for next week's JTF. Thanks for answering my questions!

Hello Dear Chaim,

Hope things are well.  This week I was just wondering if you could reccommend some Jewish writings/books related to the topics of the afterlife, eternal life, and morality.  You have spoken brilliantly about these issues in the past, but I know you are confined by time and I would like to learn as much as possible on these matters.  In regard to the latter point, I have been thinking recently a lot about sexual morality.  Specifically, I do not know if I could make a lifetime committment to a woman who has a promiscuous past.  I know we should be able to forgive, but certain things may bother me too much.  Thanks for your great insights and efforts as always.  All the best.

John McCain was a POW in Vietnam for almost 6 years and withstood horrendous torture and gave little information to his captors. I don't now how someone who bravely sacrificed so much now has such insane immigration policies. Are they treasonous or just crazy?

McCain  deserves respect for the fact that he had to endure being a POW during the Vietnam war however he has always struck me as a nut case. Why he is even bothering to run during this election is a mystery to me. He seems old,tired and disconnected from the issues people are interested in. His policy on immigration is more suited to the Democratic party. Personally I think this guy likes to stir the pot because in all his past presidential bids he was slightly more than a distraction. In this election I hope he has the smarts to disappear after he looses the primaries and not make the usual mess he has in the past by trying to run third party.
