Ask JTF For Motza'ei Rosh Hashana, September 24.

[admin]

B"H

Shana Tova and Gmar Chatima Tova!

Note to Chaim: The posts about India last week were a separate thread about JTF's position on India but I moved them to Ask JTF because I thought you should answer the question because the first post was a question but that poster deleted the question while the comments stayed.

Here are my questions.

Why did JTF decide to put the word English in the forum URL? Is someone planning a Hebrew forum too?

Who updates JTF.ORG on Wednesday Morning if it falls on Yom Tov? Does Jimmy Sullivan do it for you?

My main question is regarding the upcoming elections.

I live in Pennsylvania. There is an affirmative action former football player running for Governor as the Republican. The Democrat is the son of a self-hating Jew, Ed Rendell who met with the black Muslim Hitler, Louis Farakhan, as Mayor of Philadelphia. Who should I vote for?

Also, the Republican Senator Rick Santorum supported Arlen Specter for Senate. Santorum is running for re-election. The Democrat is Bob Casey, Jr.. He is a Catholic who is pro-life. He is the son of the late Governor of Pennsylvania. Who should I vote for?

What if Al Sharpton ran against a Jew (self-hating or non-self hating)? Or even worse, what if a Muslim was running against a Jew? Wouldn't it be better to at least have a competeant human being than an utter and complete incompetent moron?

Dear Chaim,
  I've noticed recently that you've been toning down the humorous aspects of the program.  Was this a conscious decision?  I think that I speak for a great many people when I say, "We enjoy your stories regarding swartzes!"  One year ago you did the Hurricane 'Katrish' broadcast, and it went over so well with my family and friends. 

Genius, genius, genius, mmm-hmm.
Genius, genius, genius, mmm-hmm.
Genius, genius, genius, mmm-hmm.

Shalom

[kahaneloyalist]

Dear Chaim,
       In last weeks question and answer section you spoke on the Lubavitcher Rebbe's opinion on the JDL activities on behalf of Soviet Jewry. I wish to clarify the Rebbe's opinion.
       I heard from a son of one of the Rebbe's personal secretaries, Rabbi Kalmanson, that the Rebbe and Rabbi Kahane zt'l were in actuality not opposed in their opinions on Soviet Jewry. What was actually taking place is Rabbi Kahane zt'l and the Rebbe were working together, but in secret, essentially playing a game of good cop, bad cop where the Rebbe  was telling the US government to give in to the crazies of the JDL because who knew what the JDL would do next. While Rabbi Kahane zt'l would do extreme things.
       I have a old book called the JDL and Jewish Identity. On the cover is a picture of the JDL guys protecting Temple Emmanuel, I noticed one of the JDL guys looks just like you, were you there?
       My question this week is do you have any old videos of JDL actions or you giving speeches back in the JDL days. If you do I can convert them to DVD for you.

[judeanoncapta]

Dear Chaim, Is it true that Ron Kuby was once a member of JDL? If he was, do you have any clue as to what the  HELL happened to him?

[MasterWolf1]

Hello Chaim,

I asked several weeks ago about the possible candidates for 08 into the Whitehouse of Hillary and McCain and I agree fully that the both will be an absolutle nightmare if either one gets elected into the highest office of the United States.  However, I read this past week in the NY Post that some people are trying to throw Guiliani, and also for a third party candidate to run on the Independent line for Mike Bloomberg. It was last week in the Post and I said to myself why? Why is is that we can only mustar up the worst ideas possible as a country?  Is this all we can find picks of garbage vs garbage and now a third garbage? How come we can not seem to ever get a candidate that is worth mentioning?  And bottom line we will all get stuck with evil leftists? Is this all this country can seem to pull out for our candidates?  And I love the United States I am a very proud American but disgusted of how America keeps kicking itself in the rear when we get options like this.  What are your thoughts or comments about this issue?

[YESHA]

Shalom Chaim,
      – I hope you are well. Am I wrong to be a big fan of Knesset Members Effie Eitam, Uri Uriel, Prof. Aryeh Eldad, Tzvi Hendel, Rabbi Benny Elon, Rabbi Yitzchak Levy (National Union-National Religious Party)?
     How do you fell about them and about Walid Shoebat, Bridgette Gabrielle and Dr. Wafa Sultan – they are now Christian-Zionists – Shoebat was a PLO terrorist now lover of Zion and the Jewish people – Gabrielle is Lebanese and Sultan did an amazing anti-Islam interview in Arabic on ‘Al-Qaeda’ or ‘Al-Jazeera’ TV? Someone mentioned PM Eldad in a question to you several weeks ago I remember – Philip from Eretz HaKodesh. Gmar Chatimah Tovah, Ktivah V'Chatimah Tova, you should have good health, wealth, strength and courage to continue this important work in 5767. Shana Tovah V'metukah,  Shalom.

[gtf]

Hi again Chaim

2 medium questions:

Q 1 --
First, If you were not Jewish yourself, what do you think your opinion of the Jewish people would be? How would you see them from the outside?

Q 2 --
Second, if you had the funding that you needed, what types of strategies would you start to implement inorder to gain broad based support for our ideas -- in a nutshell ?

Thanks again Chaim. See you next week.

[davkakach]

Shalom Chaim,

Would you agree with me that in the unfolding of the End Time we are
witnessing, our wild Yishmaelite cousins serve (among other things) as
tools of HaShem to punish, judge, and exact vengeance upon "Har Esav"
for all the inquisitions, pogroms, persecutions, forced conversions and
genocides that we suffered from the hand of Esav during the long
2000-year Roman exile (which, of course, officially ended in 1948)?

(No offense to our righteous gentile allies.)

Who will exact vengeance upon the beastly Yishmaelites, yimach shemam?
Do you think when Zechariah, in his prophecy of the apocalyptic Gog and
Magog war, says "HaShem will go out and wage war with those nations ...
This will be the plague with which HaShem will strike all the peoples that have
organized against Jerusalem: Each one's flesh will melt away while he is standing
on his feet, each one's eyes will melt away in their sockets; and each one's
tongue will melt away in their mouths. It shall be on that day that there will be
a great panic of HaShem among them" (Zechariah 14:2-14), he refers to the
use of WMDs?  (What else can cause one's eyes to melt away in their sockets,
and tongues to melt away in their mouths?!)

Toda Raba, and Shana Tova!

[MassuhDGoodName]

Re:  ...(What else can cause one's eyes to melt away in their sockets,
and tongues to melt away in their mouths?!)..."

There is one more plausible interpretation of this prophetic scripture:

A scorching sunstorm burst!

This also is in accord with the end time scriptures, as it is stated "...the sun will be loosed from its sheath...".

   Happy New Year,

   I have to break the one question rule because I have three questions, all of which are important and the first two have to do with the new year.

   Thanks for mentioning last week that Shabos is incorrect and Shabat is the correct term for the holy day. I've been telling people this for years. Unfortunately, I have been hesitant to read alliyas because I cannot be a false witness to an intentionally incorrect reading of the torah. Do the sephardic generally read the torah correctly or have they also modified the language. I know my view on yiddish ebonics is unpopular, but have more questions along this line. If you see fault in my logic, please let me know as I hate to pass down all these alliyas.

   We fast on Yom Kippur, but our fast is nothing compared to the one you had to endure in prison. Does the Yom Kippur fast ever remind you of your hunger strike?
   The torah values life and I heard that it commands us to eat unkosher food if no other food is available and it is required to save our lives. Is that true? Did it apply in your case? I also heard that Rabbi Kahane's efforts to bring kosher food into New York's prison system is why they are required to provide it today. Was this one of the cases where it was important to go on a hunger strike in order to provide kosher food for the next person in your position?

   Last week you mentioned that those of us that live in Maryland should vote for Steele. I'm thinking about posting JTF posters in my neighborhood next to his signs. Can I post ones that say JTF supports him? If you have any particular ones that you think might do a great job, please let me know. I plan to print them out of my printer.

[Lubab]

Chaim,

In the past I believe you have expressed a distaste with the income tax system. If Kahanists were in power, what sort of tax system would they adopt to pay for government expenses?   Would it be a head-tax as the Bible condones (like the Machtzis HaShekel)?

[Zan]

Dear Chaim,  

You consistently say the Jewish people are "sick" and "insane." But aren't they really just advanced and "cutting edge" in this Dark Age culture of ours? My philosophy is the world today is very inferior culturally to the 1700s Age of Reason and Enlightenment era -- and the Jews totally reflect this.

One example of this is Hungary. After WWII, there was a small Jewish population which was on the cutting edge of the culture and which hugely pushed Hungary into communism. But in 1989, that same small Jewish minority hugely pushed Hungary away from communism. So isn't it more accurate to say that the avant-garde Jews of today aren't really "sick" or "insane," but just reflective of today's Dark Age culture? 

Many thanks!  

Zan 

[Maimonides]

Shalom Chaim and Shana Tova and thank you as always for your hardwork and answering my questions.

Just to give you some background about the Nazis and smoking from last weeks question, Adolf Hitler was a vivid anti-smoker and promoted the 1st state run campaign against smoking. Of course it failed miserably as Germans smoking rates went through the roof during the Nazi reign. That is why people call supporters of smoking bans health Fascists.

My question this week is about Paul L. Williams and the possiblity of an American Hiroshima.  I don't know if you ever heard of Paul L. Williams but he is a journalists who has done extensive research on the threat of Islam, and has written some pretty informative books for people who are not as informed as you. Paul Williams has predicted that if the Iranian nuclear reactor is struck then Islam will strike back at the US with suitcase nukes. If a nukes go off across America what will the US response be in your honest opinion, and will life be worth living in post-nuclear America? What are your plans to prepare for this event?

[TorahZionist]

Hi Chaim, I was asked to post this declaration here:

As Foreign Minister of the virtual State of Judea, Yacov Menashe has established an Embassy to Let Be Land, a microstate (A Noahide's house.) that declared its independence from Argentina, and has appointed Torah Zionist to be The Ambassador. We established the embassy on Let Be Land's Forum and this Noahide, Raul Mario Lavin, has established a Letbelandic Embassy to Judea on the Save Israel section of this forum.

Yacov Menashe has suggested that Chaim Ben Pesach should be Judea's Ambassador to The United States, and in his official capacity of being Ambassador, he should reach out to The Righteous Gentiles to get them to save America.

Noam Federman is The President of Judea. Baruch Marzel is Prime Minister. Itamar Ben Gvir is Defense Minister.

What do you think of it?

[patches]

Chaim,

Did your father ever personally meet Rabbi Kahane?  What did he think of him?  Was he as devout a follower of Kahane and true Kahanism as you are?

[Sparky]

Chaim,

Thanks for answering my previous questions. 

In the movie “The Godfather Part II”, Michael Corleone says “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”  In this spirit, I often peruse many of the neo-Nazi websites such as StørmFrønt, National Alliance, White Aryan Nation, David Duke, etc.  And, of course, much of their hate is directed toward the Jews.

They believe Jews are destroying America (and the world) through their Leftist politics.  Examples would be Jewish support and promotion of multiculturalism and diversity, Blacks, homosexuals, affirmative action, open borders, feminism, intermarriage, social welfare programs, etc.  And because Jews are so influential in the media (films, TV, newspapers), they are especially dangerous.

Having grown up surrounded by these Leftist Bolshevik Jews, I’d be lying if I didn’t say there was truth in what these neo-Nazis are saying. Even you have expressed many of these same criticisms of Jews.  Jews do have a Marxist/Socialist tradition (for which I have my theories) and are without question disproportionately influential.  So my question to you is, as a Jew, how do I reconcile my disgust for these groups while acknowledging that there is some truth in what they say?

Thanks again.

[Until Shiloh Comes]

Hello Chaim, and good day to you.  I pray this message reaches you in good health.

Chaim why do you use your given Jewish name on the program?  I seem to recall in the JDL days you were always referred to by your birth name.   Is it because of the context of the programs and website?   Forgive my ignorance, I am a Ben Noach who is still learning.

I believe that feminism (a product of the spoils of WWII) is what has led to these insane left-wing policies...not the Jews.  It is true that many powerful feminists are indeed Jewish however.

[Noahide]

Dear Chaim,

Thank you indeed for your comments on my post last week which was about Islam as a scam for the benefit of Muhammad and his family.  Sorry to go on about the same thing again, but I would be obliged for your comments about this other circumstantial evidence:

When talking about Muhammad, Sunni Muslims often add the phrase ‘Peace be upon him’ (p.b.u.h.).  However, Shiite Muslims use the phrase ‘Peace be upon him and his descendants’ (p.b.u.h.a.h.d.).  In fact, Muhammad has millions of actual or claimed descendants across the world today, and they benefit hugely from the scam.  For example, the kings of Morocco and Jordan got their jobs because they are from Muhammad’s family. 

Also, the Aga Khan is a multi-millionaire who gets his millions from poor Shiite peasants who send the Aga Khan about 10% of their incomes, simply because he is a supposed descendant of Muhammad!  By the way, the Aga Khan is white because for the last 100 years, his ancestors have only bred with the finest French beauties in their palaces on the French Riviera.

(At the risk of boring you!) Another example:  For centuries in Egypt, Muslim society was strictly divided as follows: 

1)  At the bottom were the native Egyptian peasants (‘fellahin’) whose ancestors had been conquered by the Arabs. 

2)  Above them were the ethnic Arabs whose ancestors came over with the first wave of Muslim conquests.  These people made their living by extortion from the peasants.  (Muhammad commanded Muslims to ‘Love the Arabs, because I am an Arab’.)

3)  Above them, at the very top, were the ‘Ashraf’ meaning the descendants of Muhammad.  This elite did not have to work – instead they spent their days teaching Islam to the lesser Muslims – which of course made the lesser Muslims even more willing to support Muhammad’s family.

Of course, below all of them were the Christian and Jewish people (called ‘dogs’ and ‘pigs’ respectively). 

The point I am trying to make is that Islam seems specifically designed to squeeze protection money out of everyone else for the benefit of (1) Arabs in general and (2) Muhammad’s family in particular. 

(Incidentally, I think the above also shows that Islam is not about equality: it is the strongest enforcer of discrimination in the world today.)

As I said, I would be obliged to hear your views on this.

Regards from Noahide
(the ‘h’ in ‘Noahide’ is pronounced!)

[Christian Zionist]

Chaim,

Did you get a chance to encounter that mhmm woman Cleopatra Jefferson again ?  I cannot forget that broadcast!  You perfectly impersonated her.  Jews endured centuries of persecution but their contribution to Science, Engineering and Technology is disproportionately higher.  1/16 of the Polish population was wiped out by the nazis and the Poles are civilized.  South Koreans were brutally oppressed by the Japanese but South Korea is one of the heavily industrialized countries in the world.  Therefore blacks telling that decades of slavery is reponsible for their evil behavior is unacceptable.  But inspite of occupying managerial postions why blacks like Cleopatra Jefferson and Latrina are uncivilized?  What are the reasons behind their uncultured behavior in spite of getting equal opportunity.

Thanks In Advance!
Christian Zionist.

Hello Chaim,

Shana Tova.  Health and happiness to you and yours for the coming year.  I would also like to wish JTF the best with the new fundraising effort.  Hopefully I can reach a place where I can make regular contributions to the movement in the coming year.  Well, I understand if you are a bit weary at this point in the broadcast because I can see that I'm one of the later questions, but better late than never.  I appreciated your advice from last week, as well as that of a few other individuals in the forum, on how I can become more religious as I grow older.  This week, Chaim, I was wondering if you could help clarify Judaism's views on life after death for me.  Specifically, I was wondering about the Jewish concepts of eternal life as well as Heaven and Hell.  What kind of life must one lead to ensure entrance into the world to come?  Is Hell a Jewish concept?  I believe I've lived a pretty moral life, but then again nobody is perfect and I would like to continue to improve myself as much as possible.  Thanks for taking the time and again Happy New Year.

Ari

Shalom Chaim, kol tuv

First of all thank you for your kind words about me being too smart for Harvard! I truly appreciate that coming from a man of your stature and wisdom.
I grew up in a predominantly Greek neighborhood, and have many Greek friends, so I have heard all the horror stories commited by the Turks against the Greeks and the genocide of the Christian Armenians. I want to know why this is covered up? Why do we hear nothing of this in school or media? We hear plenty of the Holocaust, perhaps that's because it's nearly impossible to cover up. And it's not only the Greeks and Armenians.... also the Serbians which have been defending themselves from Muslim invasion since the 1300's. Also, I have never heard a single peep of the Lebonese Christian genocide (Baruch Hashem the Israelis stopped it), which happened right around the time I was born! Why doesn't my country, a Christian country, exploit such atrocities?
Many anti-semites I have argued with say "the Jews don't care about the Christians, the Muslims are the peaceful ones, and help the Christians". When I mention the Lebonese genocide, they don't know what I'm talking about... and when I explain that the Americans did nothing, and the Israelis stopped it - they are dumbfounded. My point is, nobody knows about these atrocities against Christians by Muslims, even if their only 25 years old. Why?
 
Forgive me, I completely forgot how to say "Happy New Year" in Hebrew.. but anyway, Happy New Year! Let's hope this is the year of the Messiah!
Toda Raba,
Vito
P.S - I was trying to say "Thanks for your vote" last week

[NeverMore]

hi Chaim, and shana tova for you and all Beit Israel.

thanks for answering my questions, it really helps me get deeper and deeper into Judaism.

this week i just wanted to ask about rabbi Meir Kahane's murder- what happened? how was he killed? did he have final words to say? what happened to the murderer? is there a record of the murder (i just dont know anything about it except that it was the first act of el qaeda in the US).

about his son rabbi Binyamin Kahane- was he murdered for being a "Kahane", or was it an occasional drive by shooting act of terror?

thanks.

[Gruzinit]

Shana tova Chaim,
                          Before i get to my question, i just wanna say i've had it with the kiddie-glove treatment of illegal aliens, and this pathetic excuse about them not being able to learn english, but wanting to sponge off our social programs and tax dollars. My parents were born in the republic of georgia, yet also spoke russian, even though the language was not indigenous to the region, the same for hebrew and english, when the later moved to israel the the u.s. Recently i was walking through queens, when i heard some men talking russian, since the area was isolated, i looked up to see russian/ slavic speaking construction workers. Unlike the hispanics, they never made any crude sexual comments or gestures at me,( ironically the illegals know only the most lewd words and phrases) they actually did their work. It's ridiculous that me and my friends no longer feel safe in areas we've known all our lives.

Question: though i agree with your idea to transfer the arabs out of biblical israel, won't this cause a severe financial strain if we pay them to leave as you suggest? Has any other nation ever done this before with successful results?

[TheCoon]

Chaim, you've said in past shows that you use the New York public transit system a lot. I've taken the transit a few times in trips to New York and I've seen gaggles of them(mostly blacks) on buses being loud and obnoxious. Have you ever come across blacks, hispanics or muslims who threaten you for your views expressed on television? I can only imagine how outnumbered you are being a sephardic Jew and I've seen how blacks and hispanics act when they get into groups. Thanks in advance and shana tova.

Also, if you have time, I have one quick question. I've listened to you show support for Serbs in their war against the muslim nazis, but I just read an article that states Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein were allied against the US. Milosevic also supported Yasser Arafat. I've yet to hear you speak on Milosevic on either program. He appears to have received great support from the Serb people so I was wondering your opinion on the matter. Thanks! p.s: If you're out of time I'll save this for next week. Here is the article: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/011/985qpckq.asp?pg=2
