Ask JTF For October 21 Broadcast

Dan:
Hello Chaim,
  I have this unusual question to ask in regards to Concubinage, and whether it was ever  practiced among the Jewish people...
 There was an acquaintance of mine who swore that his business associate who happens to be a Hasidic Jew frequents concubines and says that this is the way it is with them. I was a bit surprised and shocked to hear it, but I don't think he is lying...
                                                                         thanks a always,
                                                                                  Dan

P.S. I know in the past you have talked about Polygomy and how that was acceptable in the earlier times...

Shalom Chaim,

Do you believe in the Paranormal?

I know JTF hates Islam because its considered evil, and a lot of topics on this forum contain comments encouraging violence against muslims, when we are condemning their acts of violence is it not hypocritical to post extremely violent ways of hurting them ; it doesn’t make the forum feel pure or righteous and when I read these comments I can feel the same amount of hate that the Islamic world  feels against Israel etc. Isn’t there a limit, of condemning and hating, without advocating violence. Otherwise.....everybody is just as bad as each other.

Hail Columbia:
Dear Chaim,

What do you think about the Czechs and the Slovaks?

Ehud:
Shalom Chaim, 

A few days ago we had a self-hating Jew on the forum who considers himself to be a non-Jewish white Cossack and who thinks that Jews are involved in activities that are "against his people" and he thinks that Jews hate gentiles.  He watched one of JTF's videos and he used the mentioning of some self-hating Jews involved in leftist causes in the U.S. as an affirmation that Jews are involved in a conspiracy to destroy the U.S. and harm non-white Jews.  I could see how anti-Semites can view the videos, audio, and forum through their own warped lens and think that their conspiracy theories about Jews are validated.  I think this is dangerous because we could be spreading Jew-hatred so I think that for the videos and on the forum, we should try to temper statements about self-hating Jews by saying that they're not purposely trying to bring down America or do harm to anyone (although that's what the effect could be), they're just doing what they believe is good, and they happen to be very wrong, and what they are doing is not any different than what the millions of self-hating white and other gentiles in the United States do. 

Just something to consider, lahitraot.   

Merkava:
Shalom Chaim,

I have seen several of your videos on youtube and I think you have made some excellent points.  Recently I saw: How Does Mexico Treat Its Immigrants? and several misrepresentations were made that I thought I should bring to your attention. Where did you get this information from?

Shabbat Shalom,

Merk
...

1)No special bilingual programmes in the schools ?

My school in Mexico was bilingual. There are a few Jewish ones, a few American ones, a Japanese one, a few French ones and also a German one.

2) No special ballots for elections
What exactly does this mean? Special circumstances such as expatriates? Mexicans that live in the USA get to vote from their local consuls. It’s the same in Europe

3) All government business will be conducted in our language?
I think that is pretty logical. All government business in Poland is conducted in Polish. All government business in England is conducted in English.

4) Foreigner’s wont have a right to vote no matter how long they are in Mexico?
My Dad is a foreigner, my stepmother is also a foreigner and they had a heated argument over who they were going to vote for. They can vote without a problem.

5) Foreigners will never be able to hold political office –
True. But I can’t become a member of the Welsh Assembly either because I am not Welsh…..but isn’t that pretty obvious?

6) Foreigners will not be a burden on the tax payers:
Fortunately we have not been in a situation in which we need to ask for government assistance.

7) No healthcare for foreigners
I always went to private hospitals so again I cannot comment.

8.) Foreigners must invest the amount of 40,000 times the minimum wage. Minimum Wage is 4.8 USD in Mexico city = a whopping 192,000 USD.

Okay I did some research on this one and all that you need to start off your ltd. Company known as (SA) is 4,500 USD

  “The SA has been widely used in Mexico as an investment vehicle. This
corporation has a capital stock divided into shares, where the shareholders’ liabil-
ity is limited only and exclusively to the full payment of their capital contribu-
tions and the stock capital must be incorporated with a minimum of two share-
holders (either corporations or individuals) and with a minimum aggregate capi-
tal contribution of $50,000.00 pesos (approximately US$4,500 Dollars)”

9) You are not allowed Waterfront property for citizens naturally born into this country?
So how did we get so many American and French hotels in the best beaches? Sheratton, Hilton, Holiday Inn ? Club Med ?

TorahZionist's response: Those are franchise groups. The hotels are owned and run by locals who pay a franchise fee to companies like Holiday Inn.


10) No waving of other national flags ?
My sister went to a Jewish school and they sang the Hatikva after the Mexican anthem. Both flags standing side by side.

11) No bad mouthing the Mexican President?
Well Mexicans bad mouth them all the time so I don’t see how foreigners can be excluded from that.

On a positive you remark that “Abled bodies and adults shouldn’t get a penny from welfare” I couldn’t agree more.
