Hello Mr. Ben Pesach,

Do you know anything about Meir Weinstein?  I have read that he is leader of the JDL in Canada.  I looked at their web site and was surprised to see that they conducted many demonstrations in 2009.  But I don't know much else about the JDL in Canada or Weinstein.

Thank you.

Dear Chaim,
have you ever heard the program "democracy now" on WBAI? Yemach shemam to everyone involved in this abomination. Especially the ugly whore Amy Goodman and the self hating so called pacifist Larry Bensky. These two self hating kikes should be burnt alive for their evil actions. But even that would be nothing but a pleasant summer morning, compared to what Ha'Shem has in store for them in the next world.
Have you ever had an encounter with these cockroaches?

Also, on a sad note, my younger brother (the one who went to Disney world against my counsel) is once again bringing shame to his name, this time because he is insisting on celebrating Valentine's Day with his girlfriend. I told him that celebrating this disgusting commercial holiday is no less than Avodah Zara, but he will not listen! What should I do, Chaim?

Thank you, as always, for your brilliance!
Gimatria

Shalom Chaim,

When you were in the federal prison system, did you have any jobs, like working in the laundry or cafeteria? If so what was it like?

Thanks,
Patches

Hello Chaim,

how does Judaism battle dogmatism amongst it's followers and do you think 'narcism' is a form of idolatry.

Thank you,

Robert.

Shalom Chaim, 2 related questions if I may

http://muqata.blogspot.com/2008/12/hilltop-youth.html

1) The attached blog spot talks about the Hilltop Youth as two separate groups, one being the serious, dedicated, youth who are the majority of the group and a wild, troubled undisciplined group often with alcohol and drug problems as the other.  The latter group apparently are the ones who gravitate to people like Avri Ran.  If you accept this dichotomy, I am curious as to what brings the wild group to Judea and Samaria to the Hilltops.  Why would they prefer the Hilltops of the Shomron to the streets of Tel Aviv or other places they might hang out?  Is it that despite their problems they have nationalism in their hearts, or are the Hilltops something like the historical American wild west drawing outlaws and others who don't fit into conventional society?

2) Could you give us a brief geography and demography primer on Judea and Samaria?  Where do most of the Arabs live?  I know many of the Jews live in the settlement blocks outside of Jerusalem (Gush Etzion and Maale Adumim).  What percentage of Jews live there as opposed to other areas such as Kiryat Arba.  Also as most of the plans that have been floated call for retention of the settlement blocks and abandonment of most of the territory how many Jews would be displaced by such a move?  Are the blocks really made up mainly of "Suburbanites" who are there for cheap homes as opposed to ideology?  Are they inside the security fence?  What major cities or towns are on the wrong side of the security fence?  How many Jews are on the wrong side of the fence?

I know that is a lot to ask so feel free to pick and choose what you have time to answer.
