Dear Chaim:

Hope all is well.  Here are my comments and questions for the week:


(1) I understand that a new Nazi flotilla is set to sail from Nazi Lebanon and Nazi Iran.  As a junior civil rights activist, I wish to enhance my civil rights credentials by proposing that Israel allow these Nazi boats to reach Gaza, albeit with a slight twist.  I propose that Israeli dolphin submarines launch torpedoes and destroy all of these boats from hell into a million pieces.  Let the explosion be the feeding bell for the sharks to attack!  Preferably, the destruction would take place when the Nazis are 5 or 10 miles from the shore.  Within a few hours, all the boats, albeit in a million pieces, will reach the Gaza shore.  Then any "hungry" Nazi Arabs can pick up the "bio mass" tidbits of shark leftovers.  I hope the Nazi arabs stick this human renderings in a pita and choke on it!!

(2) What is you opinion of the actor impersanario "Jallel Ahmad White"? He is the [censored]-muslim actor who played "Steve Urkel" in the series "Family Matters" from 1989 - 1998?   

(3) What ever happened to Ariel Sharon - I find it strange that the Israeli media is silent about this story.  I believe he is still alive and in a vegatative state.   What a miserable state of existance. Is this a punishment from Hashem for his betrayal in Gaza?   Your comments?

All the best,

Nekama

Shalom Chaim,

Do you like Frank Sinatra? What do you think about Sammy Davis Jr.? Why did he convert to Judaism? Was his conversion genuine and if so, was he a good Jew? I've read that Sinatra was close with Jewish and Italian gangsters. Why were there so many Jewish gangsters back then? It seems like from the beginning of the Great Depression up until the end of World War II, the world of organized crime was largely Jewish. There are more famous Jewish gangsters from that time than I could count. Why were there so many? Is it true that Jews play a substantial part in Russian organized crime currently?

Shalom Mr. Ben Pesach,

I love listening to your old shows; while doing such, however, I have repetitively heard two inaccuracies stated by you that I am compelled to respectfully bring to your attention:

(1) Not ALL of the Apostles were Jews. In fact, the Apostle who wrote the plurality of the New Testament, Luke, was a Greek doctor. That being said, you are very right in saying that if it weren't for the Jews there wouldn't be Christianity;

(2) Coffee is not bad for the average human being; it is actually very healthy--for many reasons. The only health drawbacks of coffee surround its acidity, which for those with sensitive stomachs can cause temporary discomfort, and that it stains one's teeth. Study after study has shown the affect of coffee on stimulating the brain and in cancer prevention (esp. prostate cancer) is positive.

Your other health advice is helpful and wise, to say the least.

Thank you sir

Fighting For Truth:
Shalom Chaim.

Last week I was talking to some people on the web (They happen to be Atheists and Agnostics) and the topic was about prostitution which I am very against of. But anyways they say that prostitution should be legalized and the whole sex industry in general. So I asked them why should it happen and they said this;

1- People have the right to do what they want in the sex work since it is their own body
2- That prostitution can help people who need extra money like to pay for school
3- It could help the economy and lowers crime and abusement on prostitutes
4- That there are non-sex jobs that are demeaning and terrible for people such as maids who cook and clean for you or people that have to clean toilets, and many other jobs which lets just say you wouldn't be proud of working in, and that if these jobs are legalized when why doesn't that happen with prostitution as well
and other things but I don't want to type the rest here since it will take you very long to read it all.

So anyways, I then responded them back of why prostitution is a terrible thing for people and I tried my best to refute their arguments but they all just laughed off at me because I believe in a G-d and told me that my religion just wants to control people and stuck of what they had said to me before. But the thing is I responded to them in a non-religious view of why I am against it and they still ignored me.

Chaim this is very serious, how can anyone say that prostitution can help people when it is a vile so called career? I mean what they are saying is that if they or even their kids can't pay for College or Universities, or anything else then prostitution isn't a bad idea to help them. Heck some people that I talked to during the online chat are or use to be prostitutes themselves who said that it helped them out a lot (Though I myself talked to some former prostitutes face to face who said to me that it was one of their biggest shame in their lives and that no one should ever have to do this to make money and even if they got payed a lot they still feel ashamed to this day but yet you have people who say it is ok) If I have another chance with chatting to them again, what should I say? Since they don't have faith what is the best non-religious argument that I should say to them? It's really sad that so many people think like this but it is a ugly world after all.

Thank you again Chaim and G-d bless you.
