I asked Chaim about this issue early this morning just before he left the house.
Here's how I feel about this, and I believe that Chaim agrees with me:
1. Chaim thinks very highly of Chaimfan and Down With Islam, and praised them both effusively on a recent Ask JTF program. But Chaim believes - as do I - that personal attacks against other posters is harmful to the forum. How can we encourage new people to join if they believe that they might be subjected to all types of personal attacks if they dare to disagree with JTF on a certain issue? Chaimfan and Down With Islam, think about it: what if YOU disagree with Chaim or with JTF on some issue in the future? Wouldn't you want the right to be able to express your opinions without being personally attacked? Chaim and I want you to have that right. You can disagree with people, but let's do it respectfully. These types of attacks and this type of language will only marginalize JTF, and will only play into the hands of those who claim that we are crazy.
2. Dominater apologized for his attack on Chaim. Chaim accepts the apology. Unless we see new personal attacks on Chaim in the future, we should put this matter behind us. Dominater should be welcomed here even if he disagrees with some of our views.
3. It's true that some people have tried to insult me by calling me "goy" and various other names. Chaim was indeed very angry when he saw these insults because Chaim loves the righteous Gentiles. But I am not concerned about these attacks. My Rabbi, yes MY Rabbi, Meir Kahane loved ALL righteous and decent people. Rabbi Kahane was murdered in the end in part because he heroically sought to warn the American Gentiles about the threat of Islamic terrorism. Al Qaeda correctly felt that it was essential to their efforts to destroy America to get Rabbi Kahane out of the way, because Rabbi Kahane was warning the GOYIM about the dangers of Islam. Rabbi Kahane was the greatest human being I have ever known, and I will never forget his sacrifices in order to save all decent human beings, both Jewish and Gentile, from the Muslim monsters. I will always be loyal to the legacy of this Torah giant. And since I believe that Chaim and JTF are continuing the Rabbi's holy work, I want to do everything in my power to help. If the anti-JTF Jews want to call me a "goy" and insult me, that will not deter me. "Goy" means nation in Hebrew, and Israel is also called "goy" in the Torah and the Tanach. IT'S AN HONOR TO BE INSULTED BY JEWS WHO HATE CHAIM BEN PESACH AND JTF. THEIR INSULTS PROVE THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT I AM HELPING CHAIM AND JTF. THERE IS NO HIGHER HONOR THAN THAT.
4. JTF strongly disagrees with the decision of HaRav Ovadia Yosef and his Shas party to support the Oslo suicide agreements. HaRav Ovadia even urged Israel to surrender her sacred eternal capital city of Jerusalem in 1991 for "peace". Shas is part of the Smolmert regime of treason, and has been a loyal member of the Smolmert government coalition. Eli Swisah, the Shas Interior Minister, expelled Chaim from Israel while Shas was meeting with PLO terrorist mass murderers. HaRav Ovadia and Shas supported the evil decision to invite the Arab Hitler Yasser Arafat and 80,000 Muslim terrorists into the Land of Israel, while ordering that Chaim Ben Pesach cannot even set foot in the Holy Land.
However, despite these horrible actions, HaRav Ovadia is regarded as a leading rabbinic authority by many religious Jews. To personally insult and attack him will deter Sephardi-Mizrachi (non-European) Jewish youth from joining our movement. Many of our followers in our Israeli movement are Sephardi-Mizrachi youth. We can disagree and criticize, but to personally attack and insult a leading rabbinic authority will hurt our movement. Please do not make personal attacks on HaRav Ovadia. You can disagree without making personal attacks.
