Title: a hiatus for Chaim
Post by: Dr. Dan on September 25, 2007, 08:32:06 AM
Was listening to Lubab's comment on the askjtf...

Chaim needs a break....

I would say that we limit the number of questions each week...or just give it a few weeks to a month off for Chaim..

If you want to limit the number of questions, how about we go through the question and see if there is anyone on the forum who knows the answer so that would ensure that all the questions being asked would be ones that nobody else on the forum was able to answer for others.


For the next "Ask JTF", someone asked the following: 

"While you call Kadima a leftist party, many on the left say that it's a conservative party. These leftists say that the 5% (or whatever) that Kadima will keep in the West Bank will be used to expand settlements and hem in Arab villages and towns through a network of checkpoints and roads. The leftists say that this takes land from the Arabs and renders their independence into a sham. This argument was also used against South African apartheid and indeed Arafat once said that Barak had offered him "Bantustans". How should I respond when leftists make such arguments?" 


This looks similar to stuff that was probably asked previously or that has been asked before on the forum.  I'm sure there are some people who would be able to answer this quesition.



I say Kadima is leftist as they're advocating a disastrous policy and aren't thinking of the disasterous consequences. 

It would need to be explained how any time Israel has made unnecessary concessions,  the results have been an increase in the level of terrorism against Israel. 

Israel doesn't owe any concessions. 

Kadima nor other liberal parties shouldn't be part of the government as they aren't serious enough about Israel's security.



Also, the other Daniel copied your question.

I think I once asked Chaim how often does he go on vacations, he never does!
which is a shame, he should really allow himself to travel once in a while...

He's currently banned from his the place where he wants to go so he probably doesn't see a need to travel.

well, we should go from an avg of 40 questions a week to a cap of 20..

but also, chaim does get too repetative...and does repeat himself a lot...he can have shorter shows if he doesn't keep repeating points we all know already.

Chaim's health and Aliyah campaign have to come first, so I would understand if he took some time off.  Of course, I'm sure we would all miss the shows though.

What did Chaim say in response to Lubab? 

Does Chaim just respond to the questions or does he also talk about something that occurred recently?

Thank G-d he said he will take off a few weeks from doing the shows most likely to focus on his campaign to get into Israel.


He said he would've done it sooner but he can't bear to disappoint you guys!

He needs a break, what is his livelihood?

Chaim needs to start putting himself first and taking care of himself and not feeling the need to justify it. We are not going to be a mass movement if our leader is running himself into the ground with no breaks.

I think he should have started a break the first Sunday (a couple days afterward) after Rosh Hashanah.

I never "copied" dannycookie's question. This was a question I was thinking of posting for a very long time and posted it without looking at any of the other questions first. Danny brought this to my attention afterwards, but we decided to keep both of our questions posted.

Everyone should take a break now and then. I wish Chaim well, if he must take some time off, for his benefit, I would agree.
