Ask JTF for Sunday February 7, 2010
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,
1: What is your opinion of the brutal "Process of National Reorganization" military regime that ruled Argentina in the late 1970s? On the one hand, several of its leaders were anti-Semitic. On the other, the Argentine Jews (and Gentile Argentines) that it arrested and/or executed, such as the slimy snake Jacobo Timerman (yimach schmo) were traitors who sympathized with communists and terrorists such as the Montoneros and the blacks in the "Spear of the Nation" in South Africa. One college professor that I had, a secular Jew with extensive experience in Argentina, taught the class that although this government had clear anti-Jewish sentiments and was very oppressive and barbaric, it did not actually enact anti-Semitic policies. I know that Israel had an alliance with the Process; was there a good reason for it or was this typical Israeli Bolshevik stupidity? What is your take on this period?
2: In honor of Schvartze History Month, please discuss the battle record of the South African Defense Forces and their dark-skinned opponents in the ANC and the Angolan/Mozambican armies. Just refresh us, what exactly was the ratio of casualties of South African soldiers to their simian adversaries (wink, wink)? How well did the negro "freedom fighters" of southern Africa do when they faced off against white soldiers? For all of the black military "heroes" that the media worships during this month, how come we don't hear about the heroic warriors of the ANC and ZANU/ZAPU and their "excellent" fighting prowess against the white southern Africans? Why is this, Chaim? I'm dying to know! :laugh:
G-d bless you, Dr. Brennan Fan
Jorje15:
Dear Chaim,
What are your thoughts on president F.D.R? What did you think of his policys? What is the history of the Jewish people?
Yaacov Ben Yehuda:
Shalom Chaim!
What do you think of how Aaron wasn't able to control the Israelites while Moshe was up with Hashem on mount Sinai? Why did Aaron allow them to build the golden calf and it seems according to the text that it was even his idea to build the calf.
The other day after i did the shma and the shmona esre prayers while i had my teffillin on, i suddenly felt a great sense of sadness and overcame with emotions and started to cry. I felt the pain of the Jewish plight in my soul and just felt the sorrow and actually started to shed tears and cry. I'm not the crying type if u know what i mean, so it was a bit weird. Has this ever happend to you or someone you know...or am I just losing my mind?
Thanks and may Hashem Bless!

What is your opinion about Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakkai? Was he a tzadik for saving the Yeshiva system at the time or should he have fought harder to save the second temple instead? How does this relate to some of the modern Yeshivas in Israel today that favor giving in to the Arabs in exchange for funds from the Israeli government?
