Dear Chaim, 
 
  I looked up Kahanism on Wikipedia and the end of the page says "Kahanist groups and organizations in the United States are largely inactive, with the bulk of their supporters immigrating to Israel over the years. Kahane Net, the Jewish Defense League, B'nai Elim, and the Jewish Task Force are occasionally associated with Kahanism. Yet, all three of those groups have no definite direct connections to Kahanism. Kahane Net was formed out of the remnants of "The Kahane Movement" of Mike Guzofsky. The latter was formed by former Kahane Chai leadership after its disbanding."

1)How can they say we have no definite connection to Kahanism?

2)Do you have anything to do with other Kahanist organizations or other non-JTF Kahanists?

3)How often do you speak with Noam Federman, Itamar Ben-Gvir, or Baruch Marzel? Is there anyone else in Israel that is a force? Why are they not banned from Israel but you are?

4)What happened to most of the people in those old JDL protest videos? Are they still avid Kahanists? Do you still have some of those contacts from when you were younger?

5)If you aren't the only Kahanist-type leader of our time, who are the others?

6)Did Rav Kahane know he was a prime target for assassination? Did he not have constant security or did his killer just get lucky?

7)Where were you when you heard the news of the Rav's death?

Dan Ben Noah:
Shalom Chaim,

Thanks for your response last week on the Ark of the Covenant.  You mentioned something interesting about the time of the redemption--that Jews will no longer be celebrating Passover.  Now Passover is an ordinance that seems to be eternal according to the Torah:

Exodus 12: 17
'You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent ordinance.

However, there is a passage in Jeremiah that may support what you are saying about Passover coming to an end:

Jeremiah 31:31-32
31 "The time is coming," declares the LORD,
       "when I will make a new covenant
       with the house of Israel
       and with the house of Judah.

 32 It will not be like the covenant
       I made with their forefathers
       when I took them by the hand
       to lead them out of Egypt,
       because they broke my covenant,
       though I was a husband to them,"
       declares the LORD.

Does this passage indicate that certain "permanent" laws of the Torah will fall out of use as part of this "new covenant"?  Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,

Dan Ben Noah

Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Dear Chaim,

I am sure you are aware of the new arab-petro-dollar-funded, first-ever Israeli arab-only Judenrein city planned for the Binyamin region in Shomron - to be called "Rawabi."   I was thinking, wouldn't it be a good idea, no, a Great idea, for there to be a Jewish underground activity among heroic Jewish youths, to sabotage the construction of this atrocity, by all necessary means, and wouldn't it also be a great idea for certain charitable organizations and private donators to rightwing pro-Jewish/settler causes to donate money toward funding this underground activity?     

The construction of this city is a clear attempt to shift the demographics in favor of the Arabs and to make life more dangerous for the Jews of the Binyamin region.   It is planned for 25,000-40,000 Arab residents, but 200,000 arab residents when completed.  The arabs will dump their sewage as they do everywhere, the roads will no longer be safe to travel on for Jews, the arabs will steal precious water resources, they will be very nearby and able to infiltrate settlements, and it splits the Benyamin region in two.    Also, of note is that this city is in so-called "Area A" of plo terrorist nazi autonomous control as per the Oslo accords.    What action should the Jews take?

Do you have any opinion on the real story behind Abdul Rahman Yasin?  This Arab terrorist was born in Iraq but grew up in the USA.  He helped prepare the bombs that were used in the first WTC attack.  He was arrested after the attack, was released and flew back to Iraq.  He was on the FBI most wanted list shortly after the 9 11 attacks.

Beyond that nothing else seems to be clear.  It is not clear why he was released by the USA.  It is not clear what his status was in Iraq with stories ranging from a prisoner to an honored guest.  Most of all he has just dropped off the radar.  Nobody says or seems to care where he is now.  What did he do during the Iraq war and where is he now?  Is the US still pursuing him?

It is very curious as to why he was released.  Who releases an international terrorist who has been apprehended for a major terrorist attack.  There were varying claims as to whether Iraq offered to give him back to the US.  Was he offered?  Why was the offer not accepted?

CorrieDeservedIt:

Shalom Chaim,

While listening to the black israelites

they often mention edom as "the so called white man".

In True Judaism is this true? Who exactly is edom today? Is it the white european christians?

Thanks again,
John.
