Chaim would love to answer all of your great questions but (unfortunately due to the number of questions and time constraints), if there is more than one short question, it will have to be moved to the Future Ask JTF section. We apologize for this inconvenience and only wish that every person has a chance to be heard on the show.
Or course, comments not directed to Chaim will be moved into a separate thread under The General Discussion.
Chaim has stated that only one short question or comment per poster will be answered. Please remember that even with these rules, the program is over 2 hours long every week! If you want to post a longer question, unfortunately, Chaim may or may not be able to answer it in it's entirety. In this case, you may copy and paste parts of your question for the following week.
Thank you for your kindness and respect regarding these rules.

Dear Chaim,
Do you consider Muslim countries in Europe such as Bosnia to be part of Western Civilization? Do you consider Bosnian and other Balkan Muslims to be Westerners? I ask because you have said they are Caucasian because they are in Europe, yet they are Muslim at the same time.

I'm posting this for Yacov Menashe.
Thank you for answering my question about Israel and Antarctica. What is your general opinion of the continent of Antarctica and The South Pole? What do you think of The North Pole?
Also, what do you think of international treaties regarding territorial claims in Antarctica? Is it okay for countries to claim land there or should it only belong to G-d? This question should be answered separately from the above questions.

Shalom Chaim,
I had just read the article posted in the 'General Discussion' thread regarding Roni the Nazi. This guy really hates Ashkenazim to the point where his mind has become sick and insane, and he probably does not realize it. My question to you this week is: if you had Roni alone in a room for 30 minutes, how would that meeting go? I think I have an idea and it is similar to how your 'meeting' with mehdi the arab islamic filth who beat women who were peacefully protesting.

If a Pal state were to be established by the world community and Israel, Gd forbid, will we, as a movement recognize it and call the Arabs living in those areas established as a Pal state as Pal-inians? And if such a thing were to take place, what do we call that entity? ugh i'm dreading it everytime an American or Israeli leader tries to say, "it's time".
Thanks as always

Dearest and esteemed Chaim,
JTF has argued that we should push for regime change in China, North Korea, and Russia. While I completely agree the innocent people of the first two Asian states would really benefit from being lifted from tyranny, Russia is in a different category.
The Russian general public is haughty, highly chauvinistic, and anti-American. Russians adore Putin because he stands up to the United States/Europe and do not mind living under his despotism. They love the fact that he is trying to restore the old USSR in all of its "glory". In this aspect, they are little different from the Russian average people who worshipped Stalin (gulags and all) and who overthrew Alexander Kerensky's democratic Provisional Government in the fall of 1917 in favor of Bolshevist totalitarianism. Don't forget either that the Russian soul has from the start of time itself been savagely anti-Semitic and anti-Christian.
The Russian national character is extremely similar to the Latin American national character: highly nationalistic, full of thuggish machismo, and America-hating (except for the fact, of course, that the Russians have atomic weapons). I don't think that we will get much further winning over Russkie hearts and minds than we will Muslim.

Shalom Chaim!
What is your opinon on what Ann Coulter said about "imperfect Jews"? I know you have defended her in the past and want her to run for president. How can you defend her now?

When you went patrolling for the JDL what did you wear and what weapons did you use? My father says that when he and a couple of his JDL friends went out patrolling in their area of Brooklyn in the 1970's on foot they wore a black trenchcoat with a sword concealed underneath the coat. Was this a standard kind of dress that the JDL used or did the JDL people in different areas do whatever they felt like? He also says that when they were called to go to an area that was making trouble, they would go there by (if I remember correctly) 2 full cars of JDL people and they would usually jump out of a car with baseball bats. Only one time they jumped out carrying swords.

Shalom Chaim,
Chaim i know this is a touchy subject for many people here in JTF but i was wondering if at any point in your life you were ever in a relationship with a woman and if so could you give me any tips on what it might take to meet someone so i can feeling so down all the time about being single.
P.s: They say Women are from venus, well i have about as much chance with one of them if they were still there.
Thanks as always and until next time, Sergio

Dear Chaim,
Is the concept of the Jewish people being "Holy" and "Chosen", a racist concept?
Personally I think that it is, but it doesn't bother me because I place my Judaism above all else.

Shalom Chaim,
Today I have a couple of updates and a suggestion:
1) I finally got a response from Victor Topaller of RTVI regarding a possible radio show with you. He said that he prefers to have Russian speaking guests. Therefore, I conclude that if you could produce a Russian speaking member of JTF in the nearest future, he would not refuse to talk.
2) I convinced a friend of mine, who is building a very promising web portal for Russian Americans, to promote JTF and Kahanism on it. Hopefully it helps. We may need though to now and then help him with ideas.
3) I think you should start thinking on preparing new leaders for JTF to refresh the organization ideologically and add some motivation for people's self-development. It will also create a broader image of the organization as opposed to an image of a one person movement.
Possible leaders can be found among existing moderators, who can be given a duty of running a parallel ASK JTF shows and even make their own Youtube videos.
What do you think?

If ones environment is evil then one will be more likely to be be evil than one whose environment is righteous. Why does the Bible say all evil people will burn in Hell and all righteous people will go to Heaven when some evil people could have been righteous and some righteous people could have been evil had their environments been different? If some do more righteous deeds in their lives than others will their rewards be greater? What proof is there that the creator of the Universe is G-d and not an evil being like Satan?

Dear Chaim,
The communist party is not dead, as America would have one believe. Ronald Regan didn't end communism. China is a communist country, so, is Russia; the two who are responsible for Iran's nuclear program.The left-wingers are communists, too. A liberal is a communist with a different title, but they share the same beliefs stated in the Communist Manifesto. They both want socialism, to control the news media and all of television, the removal of religion and consider the Constitution to be old-fashioned and a hindrance. What do you think causes Americans to hate this country enough to become liberals/communists?

Hello Chaim, First off before my question, I took your advice and I am going to try and/ quit smoking. My body cant take it anymore. Hopefully this will the first and last time I quit. I do disagree about smoking bans, but for me at least, its not worth my life. Now on to my question
Do you agree that if the Kahanists take over in Israel what would we replace the Israeli supreme court with a Sanhedrin? Some rabbis are torn over this issue and want to get it from your point of view.
Thank you Chaim,
Moshe

I was having a heated discussion with a European famous Jewish schools principal which led me to use, like you Chayim do, many adjectives in describing the problem and explaining the dire situation.
This led him to accuse me of using ‘rhetoric’ which signaled I was losing the argument and that if I resort to ‘rhetoric’ my case is weak and it shows vulnerability and a weak argument.
I disagree as I use adjectives to strengthen and embolden my case. Am sure you will share my sentiments. Shalom. Todah--Zev.

Hello Chaim
How is it that Atheist Leftists want to ban Christianity and Judism from society and yet the same Atheists feel with Islam we must have "tolerance"? This is something I do not understand if they are considered to be against religion why not be consistant?

Hello Dear Chaim,
Hope all is well as always. This week I had a follow-up. A week back you mentioned that some Jews could cross the line to the point where they are cut-off from the Jewish people (Karet I believe). I was wondering who determines the cut-off point? I imagine it is a group of Rabbinic scholars. Do you know of any modern examples of people who have been thrown out of our religion? Throwing out some examples, I would imagine evil people like Karl Marx or Sigmund Freud would warrant consideration. Also, I was wondering if a Jewish person shames his or herself, does G-d hold the entire Jewish people responsible? In other words, will all Jews be punished for the evil actions of a few? I would hope not, but then again sometimes I do think all the German people should be punished for World War 2. Thanks for the brilliant insights and all the hard work. All the best.

Dear Chaim
Thank you for your answer to last weeks question, I also agree, no negotiating, no releasing prisoners, just brute force, even starving them and their people to death to get those boys back!
Why are our schools allowed to teach our children history which, although accepted by many thanks to our PC media is FACTUALLY incorrect. I have just come from a meeting with my sons school prinicpal and a member of the school board, they are concerned because in a social studies class, during a current events discussion, my son challenged the teacher when he kept talking about "pal-estine" telling the teacher that such a place has never existed, he backed up his statement with facts, even telling the teacher how that word came to be (Adam is 11), the teacher removed him from the remainder of the class discussion. My son was asked by the teacher where he got such ideas, he told him "my mom, plus Ive researched it online, anyone can, even you" I was called in for a meeting with the teacher last week, and told him that I was right, he was wrong, and I would not tolerate my child being taught history that was incorrect, just because it is the PC thing to do, the teacher and I had a few choice words, but I did not back down. Because my son brought the subject up, evidently other children in the class questioned the story of "pal-estine" as well (my son told the teacher and class that it is the 'biggest mass lie ever told and believed by the masses in history') which was what todays meeting with the principal and board official was about, the fact that because of me there are now several children in that class who have "racist" views, and it is not correct to say that an entire people "have never and do not now" exist. I told them that the REAL facts are there for anyone who wants to see them, and I made no apologies and will not back off, and that if this was going to be the case that I would have to think about taking him out of school, and if I cant find a suitable school, then home school him. How can we get our schools to start teaching what is RIGHT not what is PC?
Thank you very much!

Note to Chaim: This is the same malshin who informs on you five times a day to the Israeli authorities against your Aliya (Chaim Jr.)
Chaim: Have you ever had periods in your life where you doubted the existence of G-d even if short-lived?

Hi Chaim
I feel we need to discuss other Topics besides muslims terrorism. For instance the Economy and how the liberals are hampering the growth of the economy. Maybe bring in an expert to discuss true open market and how with JTF in power we would make it happen. It would also be good to give us updates on some Good News with in the organization thats happening in the US or Israel. Even inspiring stories that don't involve JTF. Speaking about the same topics (muslim terrorism) over and over again all though its very important gets boring. Just feel diversity in topics is very important and will bring us more followers.

Shalom Chaim
Two quick points. I know the rule is one, but you don't have to comment on the first.
1. The G.O.P. front-runners, Giuliani, Romney and Thompson are so pathetic that it seems THEY ARE PURPOSELY TRYING TO MAKE SURE HILLARY WINS.
2. Just a quick question: Why do the Hebrew youtube videos receive so few hits? Are the Hebrew members just getting the shows from the website? Is there even a point to promoting Hebrew videos on youtube?

Dear Chaim,

Chaim Shalom,
What do you think about comedians like George Lopez and Carlos Mencia
who are advocating illegal migration from Mexico in their comedy acts,
should it be tolerated by the American law abiding tax payer?
should broadcasting companies such as comedy central,HBO, and showtime ban them?
also what do you think about Jewish comics like Jackie Mason, Jerry Seinfeld or Billy Crystal
Oz77.
BTW - I was sorry to hear those quotes about mike huckabee,
I guess they're all evil...
even today I read that israeli parlament member "Uri Ariel", who was considered up until now
a hardcore extreme right wing militant from the "תחיה" party, said (or should I say whined)
to one of the ministers in our backstabbing government, that "we must build water desalination factories
for the 'P_alestinians' (yes he used the P word which is censored in this forum) because they suffer from shortage of drinking water".
I remember reading this article and waiting for the "hook" at the end,or some sort of punchline or a point,
but NO! he was dead serious - I guess he's gone mad like the rest of them...
in hebrew we say: צדיק בסדום
I guess in our generation we don't even have that one tzadik in this sick demented "global" modern-day Sodom,
of course by "tzadik" I mean a tzadik who is in a key position and has enough power
to truly influence and change the course of events in our life, gentiles and jews alike.
Let's face it Chaim,
this sick generation is in denial! - and denial ain't a river in egypt...

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.

Dear Chaim,
What do you think about the Czechs and the Slovaks?

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.

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)”
www.iln.com/articles/pub_385.pdf
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.

On your first days as prime minister of Israel.. What will your state of the state of Israel address be like? What points would you cover? Now I don't think you want the speech to be controversial on your first days as Prime minister, but to bring out all your points that are said said to be controversial over a certain amount of time.

Hello Chaim,
Ever heard about Islamic cult name Ahmadi ? What is your opinion about tham ?
Thank you .

Shalom Chaim,
Why don't you re-found the JDL and have a strong and powerful JDL like you had 30 or so years ago? Don't you think that having some nice Jewish boys causing some trouble to the enemies could help a bit?
Thanks for all you do,

There has been some controversy on our forum about Sarah. Some posters suspect her of engaging in taqiyah or of having alterior motives even though she is a nonpracticing Muslim. Some have taken issue with a post where she referred to Israel as occupiers. She has clarified what she meant and explained that she didn't mean it in a negative way. It satisfied me, but seems that some posters are still suspicious of her. How do you feel about her? Do you have any suspicions or reservations about her?
On a personal note, I must say that both of our youngest posters, Sarah and Dexter, are also our most brilliant and insightful posters.

Shalom Chaim,
About Ari's question, I think Baruch Spinoza was ex-communicated.
I'm not sure if Merkova is attempting to defend Mexico's government or is saying how people who defend them are liars. The responses he lists to those 11 questions are lies.
Do you know of Debbie Schlussel? I read her blog sometimes and I think her views agree with JTF's on just about every issue. Do you think JTF should try contacting her to see if she'd be willing to promote JTF on her blog (she lists some other sites on her blog). On JTF's homepage, it would be in possible to reciprocate by having a link to her blog. I believe hundreds of people, at minimum, read her blog, so maybe it could help more people learn about JTF.

The responses he lists to those 11 questions are lies.
Why would I bother making up 11 different lies to defend a country i don't live in anymore ? Just sharing my first hand experience living as a foreigner in Mexico. By no means am i saying that the Mexican government are angels. As a matter of fact its a very currupt one. But tell me, what lies did you find exactly ? Do we not have the right to question the sources where we get our information from ?
