Shalom brother Chaim, ma shlomcha?

1. In case you haven't heard, it seems that our former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has finally took a break from covering up his crimes in the "Holy Land case". and found the time to crawl out of his cave and state that when he was in office, the Bush administration offered taking in and giving American cinizenship to 100,000 "Palestinian" refugees. The reason he came out and said this just now is because Bibi (as you know) is "negotiating" with Abu-Hitler these days. I'm very interested in your opinion about this statement of his.
 
2. It seems that the daughter of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef has recently attended a seminar of the Geneva Initiative in Bulgaria, in which "Palestinian" women took a part of as well. And this happened only about a week after Rabbi Ovadia cursed Abu-Hitler, which is great progress in my opinion (is this a divided family, or what?).
Now, I don't mean to offend the Rabbi, but my honest opinion is that the only sane person in this family is the Rabbi's grandson. Do you agree?

3. Not that it's worth much attention, but I would love to hear your response to Bill Clinton's claim that (apparently) soviet Jews are to blame for not having "peace" in the middle east.
Now, if he's reffering to the same kind of "peace" that the oslo accords and camp david gave us,  then I think that our brothers and sisters from the soviet union should be very proud of themselves after hearing his words, and the same goes for you, after your fighting for their freedom from that hell-hole of course.

Shalom Chaim,

What do you think about the idea of trading Pollard's freedom for a three month extension of the building freeze in Yesha ?

Shalom Chaim,

In a follow-up from the previous "  Ask JTF" program and some other past programs,    I would like you to provide more details about the New York Conservative Party.    On the state level and/ or on the local level.      You have given the strong impression that they are a PHONY right wing party to the core.     In addition to this,   I am now suspicious that the New York Conservative Party is corrupt.     My impression is that those who oppose the Democrat Party,   Liberalism in general,   and Islam would be better off if the New York Conservative Party no longer existed.


Also,   you rightfully were critical of the Nassau County Republican Party.      Related to this,   I'm interested in your take about the current " leadership "  of the Queens County Republican Party.     Because JTF is based in Queens and has a very large following in Queens,    I think this topic would be of interest to many of the listeners of " Ask JTF" .     Especially since at least a couple of JTFers from Queens have previously expressed interest in running for public office in Queens.       

Even more so than with the New York Conservative Party  ( which speaks volumes ),    I have become very suspicious that the Queens County Republican Party is substantially corrupt.     With traditional Republican principles being far down the totem pole of importance to this so called current leadership.   

Thanks as always,   eb22.

Dear Chaim,

I hope you're having a great Sukkot holiday. I have 3 questions for you this week:

1. In one of your previous programs, you've stated that you're not a big fan of Israeli democracy, and that, after the coming of the Messiah, Israel should become a divinely-inspired monarchy, as it was in the days of King David and Solomon. Now, I'd like to know: what are your thoughts on democracy in general, outside of the religious Jewish context? Do you believe that democracy, as it exists in modern Western countries, is a good and desirable form of government? Or do you think it should replaced by some other form of government, such as monarchy, oligarchy, or some kind of "benevolent dictatorship"? Also, do you agree with Winston Churchill's famous statement that "democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others which have been tried"?

2. In your opinion, which of these is worse: being a Muslim or being an atheist? Also, more generally: is it better to have the wrong religion, or to have no religion at all?

3. If you were prime minister of Israel, what would be your policy concerning freedom of speech and freedom of the press? Right now, there are several Israeli newspapers which promote extreme left-wing views and spread vicious propaganda against right-wing Jews. There are also quite a few magazines which publish pornography and promote homosexuality and other sexual perversions. If you came to power in Israel, would you allow these magazines and newspapers to continue operating? Or would you pass laws which would restrict their publication (and possibly even ban them completely)?


Thank you for your answers, and I hope all goes well with you in the coming week.

Spiraling Leopard:
Hello Chaim,

last week, for some unearthly reason, I mistakenly put Noam Federman in my question, when I meant Moshe Feiglin.
Can you give us an update about how he is doing in taking over the Likud party in Israel?

2.- Were you pleased with your appearance in the Dutch documentary?

Thank you,

Robert.
