Ask JTF for Sunday, December 12, 2010.
Gimatria:
Shalom Chaim ha Pikeach ve ha Noaz!
What are your thoughts on the "haavara agreement" of 1933?
Also, what are your thoughts on hyphenated surnames? I personally hate them. I meet these self-hating pickle noses all the time, and they have names like "Claire Steinmen-Gutberg" and "Jason Schindler-Russo". It sounds so preposterous to me, but these animals (who usually identify as "conservative" or "reform" "Jews") claim it's wonderful because they represent both parents heritage simultaneously. My question is always "so will your children have 3 or 4 surnames?" Of course they have no answer. Ma da'atcha?
I read that Bernie Madoff's son Mark recently hanged himself. Should we say "baruch HaShem"?
If you had to buy a car today, what would you buy and why?
I read that Osama Brobama is sending that Sturmscharführer George Mitchell back to the middle east to "facilitate negotiation". Is Mitchell as bad as they come, or are there worse options?
Toda Chaim, ata makor shel emet ve ometz!

PS I was devastated that I could not attend the meeting last Thursday - unfortunately I had pressing business out of state. My sincerest regrets and apologies that I could not be there to see you, Lisa and the other great JTFers. My parents said it was a blast!
Yaacov Ben Yehuda:
Shalom Chaim,
I hope you had a happy Hanukkah last week. I was just visiting in Israel for 3 weeks, it was very good to be back after so many years. I noticed that in Tel Aviv theres so many of these african infiltraters walking around, especially in the south part of the city, and especially at night. They're very sketchy looking people, and they definately bring a really creepy vibe to the streets of Tel Aviv, something that is certainely not needed or appreciated by the locals. My question to you is why doesnt the army just go in and round these people up and whoever is there illegally just arrest him and keep them behind bars until their sent to a bigger nation to absorb them like Canada or somewhere in Europe.
Israel has no space for swarms of illegals from third world nations, the point of Israel is to be a sanctuary for Jews not the rest of the 3rd world!
Another thing i noticed while over in Israel was that the settler movement is growing and support towards the nationalist camp is increasing among the common folk. I was in the Judean region most of the time when not in Tel Aviv, I even spent time in some hill top ishuvs inthe Judean hills, the country is so beautifual and full of history it's inconveivable to me that they will ever give away that land chas ve shalom!
what's your comments on the over all future of Israel (settlement movement, fate of the left, the fate of netanyahu govenrment, illegals, arabs, etc.) in the next coming year of 2011?
and one last question, whats the deal with this Shlomo Sand jerk?, he's the Israeli author of the book that claims that the Jewish People are a made up people...
Toda and G-d bless!
Lisa:
Save me a spot.

Chaim,
I don't think I've heard you comment about all the Wikileaks hubbub yet. Personally, I'm disgusted with this Assange character. He has no right to embarrass governments and endanger troops with his irresponsible broadcasting of classified material. I think he gets a kick out of saying "ooh look, we have secrets". He is a big Iraq war critic and empowers the left in their criticism. While I think the war was a mistake (I agree with you that Iran is the threat), I can't stand leftists who stomp their feet and scream about big bad mean mean American troops are mistreating poor Iraqis. I think he may have done some good in exposing some secrets, but it's a dangerous game. If he was a Kahanist exposing corruption in Israel and America, I'd be all for it, but as a leftist with an agenda, I can't stand him and hope he's soon imprisoned.
A friend of mine said that Wikileaks will exist right up until the point where they expose some Mossad secrets. Then the next day Assange will disappear ;-)
Keep up the good work,
WestCoastJTF
Estragon1396:
Dear Chaim,
I have 3 short questions for this week.
1) Apart from Nazi Germany, what was the most evil and corrupt country/empire in the history of the world?
2) (a reversal of the previous question) Apart from Biblical Israel, what was the best and most righteous country in world history? (Please note: I'm referring only to Gentile, non-Jewish countries)
3) What are your thoughts on Daniel Pipes?
Thank you for your answers, and I hope you have a great week.
