Why do you refer to them as clowns? What views of JTF do you dislike?
maybe that is a bad way to describe it. it's just extremely unrealistic for many guys to think to live life that way, always dressed in black and stuff. I get the feeling that there isn't anything really 'Jewish' about looking like that, that it is some strange abberance that caught on from in the Galut. I'm sure there are many righteous Jews who dress this way, but a lot of it just seems very strange.
I'm not into the racist stuff on JTF. Sure a lot of it is true and needs to be said...but talking about shooting 'cookarachas' crossing the border isn't really my thing, or some of the more extreme rhetoric about black people. I don't really give a shi!t about black people but at the same time I'm not going to publicly put my name out there to promote such extreme views.
I think it also makes it too dangerous for people to promote JTF. I mean if you stand outside passing out some flyers with some of JTF's great information about what's really going on (like JTF 7 Point Plan), but then they find the JTF.org site filled with stuff like sterilizing and deporting black people, it's flat out dangerous.
I don't think very many people are as fearless as Chaim when it comes to publicly saying such things.
I don't think JTF will get more than a handful of public activists who are willing to go all out to promote the JTF website.
Sure some of the articles are great, but to raise money, you have to direct people to the website and they are going to be turned off by the more outlandish stuff.
I think the more important issue is Israel...fix that problem and the other problems will fix themselves...that's my opinion anyways.
It's a tough call though...a lot of the stuff Chaim says is true and pretty damn funny, but it's just not the type of person I am. I suspect a lot of other viewers feel the same way.
It's one thing to be an extremist and use strong rhetoric like Kahane did, and it is another to talk about executing all sorts of people.
