Dear Chaim:

Hope all is well this week and I just wanted to say G-D bless you for dedicating your life to righteous causes.  Here are my questions for the week:
(1)   One could argue that the 1967 six day war was one of the greatest military victories in modern times.  What were the factors in your opinion that led the Arabs to think in 1973 that they could mount a successful military campaign against Israel?

(2)   There is a military museum in Egypt called “The October 1973 War Panorama.”  According to an Egyptian Nazi website promoting the museum, “the October 1973 War Panorama is a museum, which relates the battles of Egypt's greatest victory of modern times.”  How do the Egyptian Nazis get away with such propaganda?

(3)   Can you see a scenario where the Obama administration would attack Iran?

Shalom Chaim,

I recently read in the news that Ehud Barach said that he will punish IDF soldiers that refuse to evacuate Jews from Judea and Samaria with an "iron fist".  This is language he hasnt even used in regard to the Arab terrorists.  He has also been quoted inthe past as saying that if he was an arab he would of been a terrorist.  This traitor of a leader is the reason the second intifada happened after his disgraceful pullout of IDF troops from south Lebanon, which by the way I happened to be stationed at while serving with the Golani Brigade during that period. I heard that he lives in a multi million dollar penthouse suite in one of the nicest/newest luxurious buildings in Tel Aviv, he's a corrupt opportunist scumbag politician, and I wonder why he is still managing to hold power, especially when his labor partylost so many seats.  Anyways my question to you is what do you envision will be this low lifes final legacy, and do you think he'll be out of the picture sooner rather then later or the other way around?  Will he feel the wrath of G-d for being such an arrogant traitor posing as a patriot?

Also Chaim, just curious what it is that you are always "checking" during these ask JTF episodes?  is it the time that has elapsed that your checking?  just was curiuous about that...

Thanks and G-d bless!
Shavooah tov.

In Genesis, the first book of Moses, chapter 9, verse 2, G-d says to Noah after the flood:
"All the animals, birds, and fish will live in fear of you"

Well, according to some Christian bible experts, during the End time G-d will remove this fear which the animals have towards mankind.
Animals will attack people and many will die because of this.

Is there a similar scenario also in the Jewish religion? In other words, does G-d punish people removing the fear of the animals towards the persons?

Shalom Chaim,

Do you have any favorite fiction books? If you were a high school English teacher, and you had to give five fiction books that were required reading, what would they be?

Thanks,
Patches

Hello brother Chaim, 

The Bible says "I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you".  In my mind, it's hard to think of any nation that has "cursed" the Jews more than the Germans, who attempted to exterminate them and killed more than 6 million.  However, I don't see where the Germans have been cursed.  True, they lost World War II, but they are a modern, prosperous first-world country.

Likewise, the Arabs have long cursed the Jews, yet they have gushing oil revenue, multiplying populations, and vast wealth.  Where is the curse?

Am I misunderstanding this passage of the Bible?  Or does it only apply at an individual level and not a national/group level?

God bless you!
