Shalom Chaim,

As a PM, how would you change the education system?

Sparky:
Shalom Chaim,

I agree with you that we shouldn't have ground troops in Islamic nations for all the obvious reasons.  However, Pakistan has nukes which changes the equation.  Do you think we should maintain troops in Afghanistan in case there is a treat of a terrorist takeover in Pakistan?  Do you think this is actually why we're increasing troops there now?

Thanks.

Baltimore:
Chaim,

In the past you mentioned that one thing you did not like about Mike Huckabee was his tendency to forgive criminals who claimed to have changed because of a new found belief in G-d.  Nine years ago Mike Huckabee commuted the sentence of a man who ended up killing 4 police officers recently in Seattle. You were right again!  There is no doubt in my mind that if he runs for President in 2012 that his Conservative rivals will bring this issue up. Is this the end of Huckabee's Presidential hopes? Does this end your support of him? Does this open the door for Sarah Palin to become the leading Conservative Candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination?

Thanks

Maccabi:
Would you support forced aliyah of all Jews?

Let's say you were PM of Israel and we started dealing with our enemies in the appropriate manner...how would we care for the safety of Jews who refuse to move to Israel or Jews who travel to other countries?

How do we maintain the integrity of Eretz Israel from foreign powers, when there are Jews living among these foreign powers?

Also, I'm almost sure information written in Russian and distributed to Russian Jews in Israel about how your actions liberated Soviet Jews could help your Aliyah, if written correctly. 

The least they could do is protest at the Jewish Agency on your behalf and I think if even only 100 or 200 did so, it could have a big effect in terms of media coverage.

Chai:
Shaaalooooom Brother  Chaim!!


 In a previous ask Jtf you mentioned a gentile is not permitted to convert to Judaism for marriage.

Does this imply that If  gentiles have a romantic relationship with a Jew they are automatically excluded from converting? if this is true then no conversions are really true because one of  the main purpose of life itslef is to marry and have children (peru orvo).

 My point is,  if a gentile wants to become Jewish, they know then they will then have to marry a jew and with this logic then they are excluded from converting.

Furthermore what if a gentile truly in their hearts believes Torah life is the greatest gift Hashem can give. are you saying just because they date a Jew that automatically excludes them from converting ? if this so then all conversion to Orthodox Judaism is invalid because anyone can say this gentile in their heart only converted to marry a jew or has other intentions.

I am sure there have been gentiles that have witnessed a kiddish hashem by a Jew and said wow i want to marry one of those.

i Personally think then the best conversion is if a gentile dating a Jew wants to convert they will have to break up let the gentile convert keep it with out the man and then they can get together date again and go from there.. it is also more romantic ..what do you think?

ps What do you think of rabbi Mordecai Friedman
pps can you tell us an affirmative action story you witnessed while you were in prison?
