Kahane-Was-Right BT:
Dear Chaim,

I have recently learned that certain sefarim by Rabbi Kahane are "out of print" and thus not sold at his Yeshiva in Shmuel Hanavi neighborhood.   What does it mean that a book is "out of print" and why wouldn't these sefarim be available anyway at his yeshiva?   It seems like I may be able to buy this particular book I'm looking for on amazon.com   so what's the deal?

Shalom Chaim,

What do you think of the Jewish War Veterans of America (JWV)? Do you think they are a good organization? They held massive anti-German protests and boycotts in the 1930s, and even physically attacked American nazi's, similar to the JDL.

Thanks,
Patches

christians4jews:
he chaim.

1)Who do you prefer, elvis presley or frank sinatra?


2) who do you prefer as a group, queen or genesis?

3) outside your experiences in new york, what is the most crime ridden part of america you have experienced?

4) Why do the hollywood jews portray jews a weak puny, unathletic people, that are often cowardly, when in reality israel has arguebly the best pound for pound armies in the world? im referring to the larry david/wood allan type jewish portrayal.

thanks.

Sentinel For Truth:
Dear Chiam,

My question is in regard to Mark Spitz and how he was snubbed by the 2008 Olympic committee which I think is blatantly antisemitic. 

After Michael Phelps made Olympic history when he won an eighth gold medal at the Olympic games in 2008, he was presented a special award from some French official and there was a lot of talk at the time about his besting Mark Spitz' previous record of seven Olympic gold medals in a single Olympic games which he had done in 1972.  In addition, Mark Spitz set 33 world records in swimming from 1968-1972.  Mark Spitz himself said that the only reason why Michael Phelps could win eight gold medals was because there was one event which had been added to the Olympics after 1972, and he said he would have won that event too had it existed then. 

I was baffled as to why Mark Spitz, ranked as one of the TOP FIVE greatest Olympians in the history of the modern Olympic games, was not invited to Beijing for the final competition in which Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal.  It was obvious to me that Spitz should have been the one to hand the special award to Phelps and he wasn't there at all.  I later saw an interview with him in which he said he would have loved to be there, but he wasn't even invited!  In fact, nearly every article about him calls him a whiner for merely stating the fact that he was blatantly snubbed.  I wondered how on earth the Olympic committee wouldn't invite the most winning Olympic gold medalist whose record stood for decades, and so I did a search and found out that he is a Jewish American.  He has been very involved with Israel throughout his life and he is an inductee of the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. 

Do you believe Mark Spitz was snubbed because he is Jewish and supports Israel?  What else can you tell us about the Olympics and their history regarding antisemitism.  Thank you in advance for your reply.

If you would like, here is an interview with him in which he was clearly upset over being blatantly snubbed:

If Egyptians are as dumb as you say that they are how do you explain that they could built one of the oldest civilizations? You can't say that Islam made their behavior any worse because Ancient Egyptians were practicing slavery, clitoris amputation, and their royalty were inbreeding with one another.
