Hello Chaim,

         First time "Ask JTF" poster and long-time follower of the show. I recently watched a program on General John Jay "BlackJack" Pershing's command in the Phillipines during the 1890's. The program was a disgusting display of censorship. It was going into false details of how Pershing was "brokering peace-pacts" with Islamic terrorists, while they were murdering American soldiers in guerilla attacks.
         So to set the record straight, Chaim, if you'd be so kind to elaborate on the REAL story of how "BlackJack" Pershing dealt with the terrorists. And my question in closing: Wouldn't you agree he would've been tried as a "war criminal", by today's standards?

Best of luck on Ailyah,
Tony the tiger

Alexander:
What is the Jewish view of Saint Paul (Saul of Tarsus)? I know that leaving the Jewish faith or converting Jews is strongly opposed. Paul did both of these things and is one of the most revered saints in Christianity. Is he a despised figure in Judaism?

Masha:
Dear Chaim, what do you think about Baruch Marzel's comment in the interview on Kuwait TV, namely:

Marzel explained why he now views the expulsion/withdrawal from Gaza - which he strongly opposed and worked against - in a positive light: "This was Ariel Sharon's plan to clean out the whole Gaza area of Arabs.  He said that if the Jews are not removed, it won't be possible to get the Arabs out," because the Jews bring blessing to the area.  "We'll yet return to Gush Katif [in Gaza], but this time there will hardly be any Arabs; they will have all left, because we left."

Thank you.

Dear Chaim,
   You are a very decisive person and I am horribly indecisive and fear making mistakes. Please tell me how you are so decisive and what goes into your decision making process.

Dear Chaim,

If you manage to get to Israel, what's the very first thing you plan to do?

Thanks
