Ask JTF for Sunday, March 28, 2010

<< < (3/7) > >>

Serbian Canadian:
Hello Chaim.

What do you think of Michael Savage? He's a bit over the top with his act and I think he's a bit of a flip-flopper on certain issues. However, the majority of his views seem to be on par with JTF's views.

We know that one of the highlights of Ask JTF is the African-American/Affirmative Action stories but I was wondering if you had a Bosnian Muslim, Croatian or Albanian story to share?

Thanks.

With Patreus's recent statement of Jews not committing suicidal withdrawals hurting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as General Dayton training the Arab Muslim Nazis it seems that the USA is almost as much an enemy of Israel as a friend.  It seems that American policy is that the urgency of a Palestinian State is a core tactic of the US war on Islamic terror.

Under these circumstances would we be better off if the US chose to totally get out of the Middle East and stand aside as Israel and the Arabs settled their own affairs.  Oddly Bush campaigned on that policy in 2000 but abandoned it almost immediately.  However, at this point the only things that would bring about such a policy is an American defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Needless to say that is not something I would root for as it would mean many deaths of American soldiers who I admire but if you think about it maybe it leaves us with the best result.

Dear Chaim,

    1) Can you explain the two sides to this health care bill issue ?

    2) What do you usually do for Pesach ie. meals etc.? Have you ever had a seder with Rav Kahane Olav Hashalom?

                                                                                   

              Thanks and Chag Sameach to you and your family, may this be the final Pesach in galus.

Dear Chaim,

I just discovered that my brother-in-law hates Ashkenazic Jews.  A few minutes ago, he blurted out that the Ashkenazic Jews aren't even real Jews, and that they're Khazars.  I told him that was a Nazi lie.  Then he said that a Jewish author named Yehuda HaLevi said so in a book he wrote called The Kuzari: In Defense of the Despised Faith.  Here's a link:

This is the same brother in law who is an Islamophile, and who loves Yitzkhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, and who thinks Rabbi Kahane was a religious fanatic.  He also believes that Jews have too much power in the world, and that America and Europe have treated Muslims badly. 

So I'd like to know if you know who this Yehuda HaLevi person was.  If it was you, what would you have said to my brother in law after such an outrageous comment. 

Thank you very much.

Lisa

Hey Chaim. I'm just curious. I notice there is a profile on Facebook with the name Chaim Ben Pesach. Is this a profile which you created or is this a profile that someone else created using your name? Have a great pesach. Thanks.

Daniel
