Ask JTF For November 5 Broadcast

[admin]

BS"D

Hi Chaim,

Thank you for answering my question about Kushi Luther King/Martin Kushi King/Martin Luther Kushi. Did he mean what he said in any of his speeches? Were the "Pro-Zionist" speeches plagiarism? If so, who did he copy them from? I was told he really did plagiarize but he truly wrote the Pro-Zionist speeches on his own and was sincere in doing so.

I have also heard that there was an FBI conspiracy led by J. Edgar Hoover, a notorious cross dresser, to have King assassinated and even King's family forgave the convicted assassin and believes he was innocent. Is there any credence to this?

My new question is below which I originally posted a while ago in response to something you said on Ask JTF.

You mentioned that emunot tfillot (superstitions) are against Judaism. Does that include stuff like chamsa and other stuff that Sfardic Jews do such as putting garlic in the wall for good luck? My uncle puts garlic in the wall and my grandmother pours water on the ground when I leave her house on the way to the airport before I leave Israel.

Also, what do you think of chena before weddings? That seems to come from Pre-Islamic Middle Eastern idolatry as does chamsa.

Why do you say "Sefardic" when it should be Sfardic and "Sefardi" when it should be Sfaradi? Speaking of Sfaradim, the commenter from last week implied that saying Sfaradim are "Non-European Jews" means "non-white". It is false that all Non-Europeans are non-white. The original inhabitants of The Middle East and North Africa were all white as are Arabs today other than the mixing with Schvartza Kushim that you mentioned.

Yacov Menashe Ben Rachamim,
Chief Administrator.

P.S. I enjoyed your answer to the question about Mr. Rogers and I thought it was a funny, entertaining, and hilarious way to answer it. Your schvartza jokes are what turns so many people on to JTF. If it wasn't for your jokes about Carl McCall and Al Sharpton, I wouldn't have gotten hooked on JTF. I used to just visit occasionally but I never listened to the show because I thought my old computer couldn't download it but when I got a new computer, I started to listen. That was when I was visiting The United States in 2002 while I was living in Israel. When I came from Israel, I liked to joke about blacks and that expanded even more when hearing your shows and I was thinking about that episdode of Carl McCall peeing in the elevators and the hallways of the housing projects all day long, every day. When you come back from Israel, it really hits you because the first thing you see in the airport is all the blacks working there the minute you step out of the airplane. I heard the same thing from a JTF fan I met in Jerusalem. If it wasn't for the shows, I would have just come back periodically like I used to do with other Kahanist sites. I also became a regular on Kahane.org a little later because David HaIvri said I should go there to ask questions because I was asking him. I was in contact with him because I bought The Haggadah of The Jewish Idea from him. That was before he was banned from Kahane.org and before he started Revava. Now with this forum, people can contact you directly. Before if I wanted to know something about Kahanism, I had to ask HaIvri and I once even contacted Bill Maniac and they gave misinformation about you. Even when I contributed to JTF, you never answered the particular questions I had about your dealing with Kfar Tapuach Kahanists. Finally, Jimmy Sullivan explained to us all on the forum your stance on other Kahanists and that was at the same time you exposed "JDL" and Bnei Elim. Bnei Elim sends me stuff in the E-mail too as does HaIvri. I don't think Maniac knows that I run this forum because he sent me a personal message telling me about Bnei Elim because I had contacted him when he was the head of "JDL" because I thought he was a "Kahanist authority". Now people won't make those mistakes because we have this forum.

I first found out about JDL in 2000 on Yahoo Chat from Yoel. He spread the word to me for which G-d will bless him. He told me in a private message on Yekutiel's forum to start this forum. Without him, I wouldn't have ever started it so he deserves credit too. He never joined the forum himself though until later on and then I made him an adminstartor. It also took him a while to join the new forum and then I made him one here too.

Hi chaim, I have been listening to you on the computer since I was 17 which is over 3 years ago. I agree with you on everything you have ever said . I have heard you say many times that it is important to learn Hebrew before going to Israel. I am currently enrolled in a NYC college and I only know a handful of words in Hebrew, although I read and write the Aleph Bais perfectly. My question is, what is the easiest way to learn to speak Hebrew fluently. Also a few people I know went to protest when the islamic excrement from Iran came to the US a few weeks ago. While there they encountered the Neturei Karta.  Somehow they got the home telephone number of so called "Rabbi" Moshe David Weiss who is a major figure in this crazy group. I speak Yiddish fluently even though I am no way chasidic so I prank called him and told him some things in Yiddish that are so bad I wouldn't even want an honorable person like yourself to have to read such things written down.  I was gonna post this animals number on the jtf forum so everyone can call continously and not let him have any quiet but I wanted to know what you thought about it first.  Thank You and be well.   (Also I love all the stories you tell about your experiences with shvartzes)

[Trumpeldor]

This topic was its own thread and was moved into Ask JTF by Yacov Menashe Ben Rachamim last week even though En Aravim En Piguim already posted something. Yacov Menashe moved it on to the new Ask JTF when this question and the next one were ignored at the end of last week's show. The administration requests that the great Chaim Ben Pesach answers it.

If bandwidth is the problem, why not convert the files into smaller mp3's? I believe this has been brought up before, but it is something that will help JTF immensely. We could put them into nice and neat little categories...

[kahaneloyalist]

Dear Chaim,
       Thank you for answering our question every week. My question this week is do you know of any hard core leftist leaders who did teshuva and became Kahanist? If so what caused them to stop being evil and do teshuva?

Also, since you have such a talented webmaster have you considered using him to create a first class site for the Hazit party?(whose web site seems to be down anyway)

[Daniel]

Shalom Chaim. There has been a good deal of discussion about the type of protection that Rabbi Kahane had. My father told me that Rabbi Kahane was offered police protection but turned it down. Is this true? If so, why would he turn this down? Not having the police protection that he had definitely helped to enable that Al Qaeda piece of chara, El Sayyid Nosair, (may his memory be desecrated and defecated) to assassinate Rabbi Kahane. When that schmuck from Jews against Zionism, at the National Press Club, was able to get right next to Kahane and pour a big cup of red dye all over him, why didn't this serve as a wakeup call to him that he should get much better protection and security? As much of the great things he accomplished, I'm sure we can all agree that he would be worth a whole lot more today alive than dead. I don't mean to pass judgment on him. I'm just asking, wasn't there more that Rabbi Kahane could have done to protect himself from this type of attack?

Chaim,

What is your take on the "No Child Left Behind Act"?  Bush asked Ted Kennedy to author that bill.  Why did a Republican president asked a marxist like Ted Kennedy to author that bill?   I do not personally believe that an evil man like Ted Kennedy could author a bill that is good for America.

Also did you get a chance to read about Paul Kengor's recent booka about the former President Ronald Reagan.  In his book,  Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan's foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.

Thanks!

P.S. I did NOT disagree with you on Bibi Netanyahu, I was simply quoting Boris Shusteff's article in Arutz Sheva and asking your opinion. As a Zionist Christian I believe from Nile to Euphrates belong to the Jews and all Arabs should be expelled from the Biblical lands. While I am disappointed with Bibi for not doing what he could have done I feel he is better than other Israeli leaders.  Women in Green published an article shortly after the elections this year saying that Bibi is the only person who could prevent the unilateral withdrawals.  Even you commended Bibi for reducing the size of the Government and cutting the taxes.

[judeanoncapta]

Dear Chaim, I have read the Sefer of Rabbi Kahane TZ"L, Or Harayon in hebrew from cover to cover. And I have 2 questions about what he said in the book. In the chapter entitled "shalosh Shevuot" "Three Oaths" He speaks about the three oaths written about in the gemara that says that we are not to have a mass aliyah to Israel before the messiah comes, We are not to attempt to set up jewish sovereignty there, and the gentiles are not to persecute us more than what is neccessary. Rabbi Kahane says what many dati leumi rabbis have said, that since the gentiles have most certainly persecuted us more than is neccesary, we are not bound by the other two oaths and we may set up jewish sovereignty there and have a mass aliyah. Here's my question, if the gentiles' cruel and unusual persecution of the jewish people frees us from the oaths, then we were never bound by them in the first place, we were murdered mercilessly by both chistian and muslim countries and we see none of our greatest rabbis attempted either a mass aliyah or the reinstitution of jewish sovereignty. Not the Rabbis of the talmud, not the rambam, ramban, rashi rabeinu tam. none of them did. if what rabbi Kahane says is true, Why didn't they?
OK second question, in either the last chapter or the last couple of chapters of or harayon, Rabbi Kahane says that we need to remove all of the churches and mosques from the land of israel. I happen to agree with him and I think that he is 100% correct butmy question is: How do you expect Christians to support you if you plan on going through with Rabbi Kahane's wishes to remove all of their places of worship from the land of Israel?
Ok Last question, Were you on the D Train between 5 and 6pm on tuesday october 24, 2006? my wife swears that she saw you. Thanks kol tuv

[kahaneloyalist]

Judea, there were several unsuccsesful attempts to reestablish Jewish sovreignty in Eretz Yisrael including one by Rav Yosef Cairo zt'l author of the Shulchan Aruch

Dear Chaim,
       I know that when you were in the JDL there were FBI informants in the JDL ranks how did you discover the informants and how did you deal with them?

[MasterWolf1]

Hello Chaim

I am a huge advocate of physical fitness for young children especially for the martial arts in learning how to defend themselves between preditors and physical fitness.  However I think adults who have never tried martial arts or even the basics should learn in not only defense but a great way for their physical well being. Obese is such an epidemic in the U.S. that the 2 most popular veggies are french fries and ketchup and fat  adults are teaching kids to be fat that they stuff them with McDonalds and all sort of other poison that is terrible for their health. I would like to hear your point on this issue since its something that I do believe in for not only children but for adults as well that unfortunalty America is becoming the land of the "Super Size". What are your thoughts about this?

[Noahide]

Dear Chaim,

My question today is about population decline among the Jewish and Christian nations.  Both the Jews and Christians seem to be slowly dying out while the Muslims multiply ever faster.  It also seems that religious Christians and religious Jews have more children than secular people.

My question is, apart from religious methods, do you think there are any non-religious methods to cause Christians and Jews to have more children?  I have heard it said that Social Security has led to a huge fall in birth rates because people prefer to live off other people’s children in old age.

I would be oblige for your comments. Asir Todah. 

Regards from Noahide.

[Tzvi Ben Roshel1]

Dear Chaim,
  Thank you for your Great work.

My question this week is - these days their is talk of having a religious state with Halacha (Jewish law) being implimented. The problem is that today unfortunatly their are gadolim who just do not have the mentality and leadership of ancient Israel and the true Torah way. Examples are Rav Ovadia Yosef , Rav Shalomo Amar , and many more, of whom When even mentioned by religious Jews in Shiurim they have the greatest respect and awe of him ( as if they are the Messiahs). How do we get people (the religious followers) expecially of Shas, to accept the religious state ( if a Judean state arises). also for example the "gadolim" are not part of the Sanhedrin.

also one more quick note- on last weeks show you said that Israel will not initiate a war with the Arabs. Wouldnt it be a great tikkun ( rectification), if the final wars are started by the Jews. what will happen in a situation where if with a Kahanist aggressive State, the arabs would be too scared to attack, wouldnt we have to attack and concure (take over) the territory.
  1 more thing, on your shows In Hebrew do you mention and provide tactics to fight against the gay abomination parade, that is sceduled to take place in Jerusalem?

[YESHA]

There have been comments and questions to you Chaim recently [Y. M. b. R.], on this forum, on the possibility of making ASK JTF, in particular, available as an MP3 download file, perhaps using ‘Windows Media Player’ format – so ‘burning’ it on to a CD-R or CD-RW would be possible, like this is could be personally archived easily or disseminated more widely.
If you or someone else has the time to take that idea up, it is noteworthy to know that a CD can burn up to 80 minutes of audio, so maybe you could make it 2 parts, ‘hour 1’ would be the first 60 minutes of the show, and ‘hour 2’, the concluding part – anything up to 74 minutes usually.     I hope I haven’t made things too complicated for the listeners to understand, or you, in the technicality. How much can the file be compressed? Thank you.

[MarZutra]

Shalom Chaim and David,  Thanks as always for your answers and knowledgable insight.  Might you take the time to answer two very quick questions?  1. What would be the Talmudic/Biblical ruling for a situation when "He who comes to murder you, you kill him first" if "him" is a socialist judenrot bolshevik "Jew" comparable when the Rightous Jews revolted against and driving out the Hellenists? I'm not sure about Bar Kochba’s revolt against the Romans but I’m pretty sure Yahuda HaMacabee defeated the Hellenists Greeks and their Jewish Hedonists in 167BCE and again Marzutra II did the same in Babylonia in 520CE what would have been their Rabbinical ruling?  I wished to know this because, like then, many of the Jews had abandoned Judaism, Jewry and their "Jewishness" for Hedonistic Hellenism? Is it not directly comparable to the situation in Israel today where nothing short of a purge by the G-d fearing Jew will stop the Bolsheviks judenrot "Jew" from dismembering the Aretz Israel?  2. Does Yeshivat HaRa'ayon HaYehudi have a website or any way to contact them to attain information and to donate directly to them or any affiliated Yeshivas instead of the disgusting “Jewish" Agency which finds it more Jewish to donate Jewish hard earned to "visible minorities", “peace”, interfaith groups and the "Palestinian"?  Toda roba, hakol besader ve shalom

[Maimonides]

Shalom Chaim and thank you as always for your hardwork and answering my question.

I know JTF opposes the Iraq War and logically predicted it would be a disaster. Do you believe that the U.S. should have simply cut a deal with Saddam? I believe Saddam was just a playboy Arab who wanted his pleasures and if seriously threaten,but given a backdoor deal would have taken it. The Bush administration as JTF has correctly pointed out in the past is run by neo-cons (aka neo-trotskyites) who want to bring in a new world order of global godless government. Bush even said to reporters that his foreign policy is based on Natan Sharansky's "The Case for Democracy". As you have said these neo-trotskyites would bring disaster upon us.
However since we are in Iraq do you have a way that the U.S. could end the disaster without looking weak? Does it even matter if we retreat looking weak? Should we use more force and take the kid gloves of political correctness off our troops? I am not sure if you realize this but right now U.S. troops are not allowed to fire even if they are being slaughtered if just one so called Iraqi civilian is in the way . It is complete madness and it is spreading to the Israeli Zahal. I honestly believe the majority of Americans and Israelis would support carpet bombing the Muslim world if it would save the life of even one of our troops.

[jsullivan]

Yacov Menashe has asked that I (Jimmy) pose this question so you (Chaim) can comment on it. He wants to know what your opinion is on each of the points mentioned and if Christians or Gentiles at all should celebrate Halloween, St. Valentine's Day, or aspects of Christmas such as the Christmas tree or aspects of Easter such as The Easter Bunny. He had already asked the belew exact quote to the religious Christian users of this forum. Unfortunately, many Jews also celebrate Halloween and St. Valentine's Day. It is not just a Christian epidemic. They claim they are Secular holidays.

"As Jews, we don't celebrate St. Valentine's Day. It is a Christian holiday with things incorporated from Roman paganism such as Cupid. There is a little known Jewish holiday called Tu B'Av, which self-hating Jews hijacked and made it "The Holiday of Love" to make it a "Jewish Valentine's Day". I was thinking, "Did immoral people also hijack the Christian St. Valentine's Day into a day of love?". The way it is celebrated with illegitimate sexual relations and celebrating single life rather than wanting to get married seems anti-religious. Right Wing Hindus who are the Hindu version of Kahanists say St. Valentine's Day inflicts Hindu youth in India with the immoral culture of love. What about the Christian view on this? How did Cupid get into this?

Also, what do Christians think about Halloween? As a kid, I would celebrate it by going "trick or treating" because I didn't know it was a pagan holiday. Now I don't want anything to do with such a holiday being that I am more religious than I was as a kid. My mom must have introduced it to me and she must have known it as a kid. But why is there such an epidemic where people are celebrating things that shouldn't be celebrated? I find it ridiculous that Jews or even Christians would celebrate it. In fact, I am going to ask Chaim to comment about it.

The same goes for Groundhog's Day and other pagan popular culture holidays. The pagans had 8 festivals. One for each solstice, one for each equinox, and one for the mid-point of each season. The Winter Solstice holiday had many things that were incorporated into Christmas and for this reason, many Christians don't celebrate parts of Christmas such as having a Christmas tree. Groundhog's Day was the Mid-Winter holiday. They had one for The Spring which I guess has something to do with pagan fertility rites which is where The Easter Bunny came from which has nothing to do with Christianity. There was one for Mid-Spring and Mid-Summer as well. There was a Summer Solstice one related to Stonehenge. There was a Fall  Equinox one and Halloween was the Mid-Fall one. What do our Christian members think about things such as Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and The Easter Bunny? Easter is only the name used in English after the pagan goddess Ishtar, which is also the route of the name Esther (Jews used pagan names in Persian times.)... In all other languages, Easter has the same name as Passover such as Paque in French, coming from the Aramaic Pascha. In Hebrew, Passover is called Pesach and Easter is called Pascha but sometimes Passover is called Pascha in Aramaic. Kimcha D'Pischa is Passover Flour.

New Year's Day is a different story. I just consider it to be a change in the year number. It interests me purely out of my interest in the calendar and dates. I don't believe in partying and all that nonsense. I just watch the ball drop on TV and then go to bed. You shouldn't "celebrate" it. No doubt it probably also has pagan origins. For Christians, it is a religious holiday commemorating the circumsision of Jesus on his eighth day of life. So how do the Christians here feel about the immoral drinking and sex that takes place on that day?"

 

[TheCoon]

Hello Chaim, I have two quick questions:

What would a Kahanist government's first actions and lasting policy be against Egypt and Jordan, two countries Israel currently has "peace" treaties with? As you know, both are viciously anti-Semitic yet aren't openly airing violent intentions towards Israel like Syria, Lebanon or Iran.

What would a Kahanist government's policy be with anti-Semitic muslim countries like Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for example?

[Scriabin]

Dear Chaim:

In all your years of activism, did you ever encounter that shiny, bald-headed, raisin-in-the-sun Khalid Mohammad before G-d sent him to Hell?

Shalom

p.s.  Obviously I'm speaking of the schwartze Khalid Mohammad and not the arab one.

[patches]

I have no questions for you this week, Chaim.  I just want to say thanks so much for giving us informative and instructive answers, week after week.

Thanks again.

[drew_in_oregon]

Chaim,

Do you ever get discouraged?  When you see the wickedness in the world around us, the progress evil men seem to make, and the challenges that those who serve God face, do you ever sometimes feel dejected?  In those times, what do you do to cheer yourself and renew your hope?  I know you have hope in the long run, since you have a firm faith in God, but there must be times when the evil of the world seems overwhelming and those are the times I'm asking about.  If this question is too personal, feel free to skip it.  I ask not out of random curiosity but because I sometimes find the power of evil to be depressing in the short term.  Thank you and keep up the inspiring work!

[takebackourtemple]

   Someone mentioned your show on channel J last week. I do remember some of the immoral programming that used to exist on that channel late at night. If you were to compare public television of now to then. Which would you consider the worst of the two evils?

[habiru]

What do you think of the unfortunate matzav regarding inter-jewish rivalry between ashkenazim an sefardim and between national -religous and haredim.

Rabbi Kahane was the only one whose movement succeeded in uniting all these groups. In fact Kach's core supporters were all poor Mizrachim from development towns. In general Rav Kahane felt very close to mizrachim, many of his closest friends and confidantes both in brooklyn (like Joseph churba and calderon) and in israel were mizrachi Jews , why do you think that is?

Also I have a friend who calls himself a real kahanist but he absolutely hates mizrachim, he compares them to shvartza. I tried to talk him out of his meshugaas but to no avail. He rpobably had some bad experiences in israel with a mizrachi jew and now he hates them all.

[Ari]

Hello Chaim,

Hope all is well and that you had a great week.  We just had the NYC marathon.  Maybe you could run it one of these years G-d willing, as I know you love fitness.  Anyway, on to the questions.  I was wondering if you could remember a singular moment that compelled you to join JDL and Meir Kahane's movement at such a young age, age 14 I believe.  Were you religious beforehand?  What drew you to the movement?  How did your views change?

Also, if you have time, I would like to know what your first course of action would be if, G-d willing, your are one day allowed to move to Israel.  No doubt the Jewish homeland would immediately become an even better place with your presence.  Take care until next week.

On one particular Hebrew program you didn't wear your trademark cap. Do you wear kippah? I think I'm one of the many who find your impersonations of shvartzes to be hilarious. I was wondering if it ever hurt your vocal chords whenever you mock Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton? Also, you've said in the past that you never rehearse for the shows. Do you do a lot of improv?

[MassuhDGoodName]

Shalom, Chaim!

The historian known to us today as Josephus wrote a detailed eye-witness history of the Fall of the Second Temple in Jerusalem to the Romans, in his classic work History of the Jews.

In it, he mentions that our Temple High Priests retained several skeletons of the races of Canaanite giants whom were wiped out by the Children Of Israel, and would display them as proof that our Scriptures were true.

King Og of Bashan was a giant ruling the area of Golan & southern Lebanon.

The ancient ruins of Baalbek in south Lebanon, as well as a structure in Golan which resembles the famous Stonehenge monument, are constructed of the largest known precision cut and precisely laid cut stones on Earth; so large and so massively heavy, that to this very day no construction companies or architects have ever been capable of explaining how such structures could have been built.

My question:  To your knowledge, are there any Talmudic or other Jewish commentaries which comment on the origins of these structures, or who built them?

With highest regards,

[KnightsofEurope]

Hello Chaim,

You have spoken in the past about the need to form a political party in this country. You mentioned for instance a possible "End Foreign Aid Party". Do you think this is the best route, or is attempting to win control of an existing major party the better course. I for one think an entirely new party is needed, and that work on it should begin in earnest immediately. What are your thoughts?

Good Wishes,

Knight of Europe
