Ask JTF for Sunday, August 8, 2010

(1/7) > >>

TruthSpreader:
Dear Chaim, I have several questions for this week's Ask JTF.

1. Which non-Muslim country other than Israel do you think has suffered the most from Islamic-related terrorism? Personally I think it's India. I think if India didn't had so many Muslims, I think they would have suffered less.

2. If America is crazy enough to elect a black Muslim America hater into the White House, do you think the Israeli people would be insane enough to bring Israel's first Arab prime minister? I shudder to even think about it.

3. What is your opinion on NPR?

4. Did you hear about the story of Egypt trying to fire missiles against Israel and actually fired against Jordan instead and killed one Arab? I really laughed out loud when one of the members posted a topic about this very subject.

5 When will the Crypt Keeper (Helen Thomas) finally croak?

Rubystars:
Greetings Chaim. I haven't heard a lot of discussion on this site about the Lockerbie bomber ( Abdel Baset al-Megrahi) and how BP worked to get him freed. Could you please share your thoughts on this subject?

Jorje15:
Dear Chaim,

What are your thoughts on START during the Cold War

Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,

I have three questions this week, all of which are about a singular theme (Gentile-Jewish relations and perceptions). Hopefully this is not too controversial.

1: I have a friend on the east coast who claims that Chasidic Jews often run into other shoppers' carts with their carts in the supermarkets, in order to get the Gentile shoppers to avoid them because they don't want to be near their uncleanness. Is this true and if so what do you have to say about this?

2: I have another friend, a devout Christian, who claims that Jews are a race (but does not appear to mean that in an anti-Semitic way). She says that Jews are members of "the race of Abraham" and that the genealogies of the Bible prove this. She says that the exact tracing of Jesus' lineage shows that he belonged to the "Jewish race". Furthermore she claims to be able to recognize Jewish people by their looks. I know this woman fairly well and she knows full well that the Jews are G-d's chosen people and supports them. What do you say about people like this? Are they anti-Semites anyway or can you overlook this mistaken belief if they mean well?

3: How do you feel about Gentiles who are not anti-Semites, but don't care about Jews any more than any other people? Most of my family is like this. I have not hardly discussed JTF with them at all, but they have wondered why I would have any interest in a Jewish forum. (They really don't think about Israel ever but if push came to shove, I think they would support her for obvious reasons.)

Dr. Dan:
Shalom Chaim

It is quite typical of many black people that if you say something subtle, they will fly off the handle.  For example, if you were to say, "You people....", they start giving you hell about that remark alone.  Or even better, if you mistake one black person for another, like Greta Van Sustren did, you could be labled a "racist".

Can you tell us a story when that happened to you and your counter reaction?  Has this ever happened to you, but in the opposite way where a black person said "you people..." or "white boy" or whatever...Tell us how you reacted to that person.
