Ask JTF for Sunday, November 15, 2009.

<< < (6/7) > >>

Y.B.Y.:
Dear Chaim,

Humor can be used as an effective weapon against our enemies.  Here is my contribution:

Question: What does the sentence "Allah achbar!" mean in English?

Answer: "Hit the deck!"

If the JTFers like this joke, perhaps they can spread it around.

Best regards,
Y.B.Y.

Maccabi:
Hi Chaim,

should I join the IDF?

I don't have to because I made aliyah and I am around 30yrs old. (they only require up to somewhere from 18-26 I think)

I could probably do training for 6 months then be in reserves.

I know everything you have said about the IDF leadership, and I tend to agree when I see the quotes that the generals say.

I wouldn't want them commanding me and saying I have to be fired on before returning fire, nor would I want to take down settlements etc...

But if the SHTF here, I don't want to be some random unarmed civilian who doesn't even know the basics of operating an M-16 or Tavor.

Also, I kind of want to shoot guns, jump out of planes etc... and if there is a war against Israel's numerous and vicious enemies in the Holy Land, I want in.

Also, I think training in a regimented system for 6 months might help me in other areas of life, such as business, and I've never been in the military before.

What do you think?

If you think I should not join the IDF, do you have any other suggestions as how I can get trained and armed and be a part of defending the people and the land of Israel?

Or do you think this whole thing is more of an ideological battle?

Thanks for all of your counsel Chaim...

Though I don't agree with a lot of the things you say, listening to your broadcasts has really helped me to move to Israel and I think it has helped me to have a pretty solid ideology, understanding, and picture of the reality here (though maybe I still know nothing).

Also I urge all Jewish JTFers (and all other Jews) to move here. 

I may post some tips about making Aliyah in the future...

Daniel:
Do you think that Obama is happy about the Fort Hood massacre?

Spiraling Leopard:
 Hello Chaim,

how did arafat get AIDS?

christians4jews:

Hey Chaim.

Obviously its not in our interests to convert people. but could you please give us one example you would use to convince an atheist/or strengthen someones faith, that the god of the bible/torah is the one true god?

Also would you agree that if most jews had the kahanist/chaim way of thinking anti sematism would be alot less prevalent?

Thanks.
