Ask JTF For March 18 Broadcast

[Trumpeldor]

Hi Chaim

Just a comment for you this week. There is a book entitled "The Pink Swastika" Homosexuality in the Nazi Party which offers the highly controversial thesis that homosexuality within German society contributed to the extreme militarism of Nazi Germany. It was published in 1998 so I was wondering if you heard of it.



The book is available to read online and I took the time to read several passages. What I found most interesting was that the 'butch,' masculine Nazis did not even consider their activities to be homosexual in nature. This is a common theme in paganism. Instead, when the Nazis faced pressure from other fascist regimes to repress homosexuals, they did send the 'fem' homosexuals to the camps, but only as a windrow dressing for their own activities.

For JTF'ers, this is useful information for when people try to remind you that homosexuals also suffered in the concentration camps. Do not minimize the suffering of the fem homosexuals; rather, emphasize the homosexual activities of the Nazis themselves.

The books has two authors. One is Jewish. I will invite them to guest host with you.

Dear Chaim,

I recently heard Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch speak on C-SPAN.  He was saying how we need to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, get out of Iraq, and create a program on the level of the Manhattan Project to find alternatives to fossil fuels.  It was as though he was reading right off the web pages of JTF.

I've heard others saying the same thing and was wondering if they're being influenced by JTF.  Do you know how many prominent Jews or Gentiles are reading the JTF website?  Would be curious to know.
 
Thanks.

Chaim, First time writer to you. What do you think or Meir Jolovitz, and the way he ran JDL the early 80's?

   For my next video, I want to express my outrage about what the black leadership in this country is doing against the five officers in the Sean Bell shooting. I want to compare blacks who have long criminal records, deal drugs, cheat on their partners with prostitutes(that they rape anyway), and ram police cars while intoxicated to blacks that the black community should be supporting instead. The few who achieve and are ones to be looked up to. In particular I'm thinking about those who serve in the military and police force. Without knowing all the details, I have reason to suspect the black officer who fired the first shot in this case was a hero. The flip side to this thought is that most blacks in the military and police force are not heroes like this. Could I generically show blacks in the military and police force as heroes even though most of them are incompetent affirmative action morons.

   What can you say about the left wing claim that most of the homeless bums are that way because they are Vietnam vets and the war did it to them. From what I see, most of them don't look like they types that would have served in Vietnam. What can you say about the ones that really were in the war, at least some of them are still bums?

Dear Chaim,

Just curious as to what form of government would be instituted in Israel under the Kahanists?  Would it be based on the United States form of a representative republic, or would it be a socialist form?  It would appear to me that ultimately it should be modeled on how the USA was founded, with a similar constitution and government structure.  Through the riteous gentiles, Hashem formed the USA based on godly principles.  Would there be one state, or several; would there be a separation of powers, or one leader (dictator?).  When you refer to "the Kahanists coming to power" or "when the Kahanists take over" it would appear that you would want complete control (dictatorial control, power concentrated, no checks and balances).  Can you please present some details on the form of government the Kahanists would implement, and how that would be accomplished.

Keep giving us the truth so that we can continue to educate those who don't know, and fight against those who wish to destroy us!

1. You say that only conquering Lebanon will secure the border. Yet that would only move the border north so that the same problem would occur as in July 2006. And you can't keep moving the border north forever. And as I explained, the IDF did everything short of conquering the place, with the mass destruction of infrastructure and forced evacuation of hundreds of thousands. But that do not help so what can they do?

2. In a Washington Post column, Senator Alan Simpson called for an end of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. He argued,

My thinking shifted when I read that the military was firing translators because they are gay. According to the Government Accountability Office, more than 300 language experts have been fired under “don’t ask, don’t tell,” including more than 50 who are fluent in Arabic. This when even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently acknowledged the nation’s “foreign language deficit” and how much our government needs Farsi and Arabic speakers.  Is there a “straight” way to translate Arabic?  Is there a “gay” Farsi?  My God, we’d better start talking sense before it is too late. We need every able-bodied, smart patriot to help us win this war.

Since 1993, I have had the rich satisfaction of knowing and working with many openly gay and lesbian Americans, and I have come to realize that “gay” is an artificial category when it comes to measuring a man or woman’s on-the-job performance or commitment to shared goals. It says little about the person. Our differences and prejudices pale next to our historic challenge.

What is your response to the "esteemed" senator's argument?

Shalom Chaim,

Hope you are well.

1- Last week you mentioned that you had read the Quran. I assume you clearly noticed some of the truths that Haschem revealed to the Jews, also in the Quran, and many of the rules are inter-related, also with christianity. Even though they were probably copied from other scriptures and evilly manipulated. Doesn't it mean that we should partially respect the Quran because otherwise it would be degrading to the truths within it. The spreading of the Quran and Bible has allowed the few truths to at least spread even if represented in the wrong way. What did you make of the stories and the Quran in general?

2- Why do Haisidic jews have curly strands of hair and jewish men wear strings dangling from their trousers?

Thank you. I really cannot keep up the way i'm living, a confusion of religions. Thinking nothing seems more meaningful. 

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

Sarah, I'm not Chaim, but I can tell you that the Koran is a phony book that plagiarizes parts of the Judeo-Christian Bible and does NOT really validate them. Do remember that Islam is the pagan religion of the Canaanites (Allah is an adaptation of the moon g od Sin) that Mohammed modified just enough to appeal to ignorant Jews and Christians with a poor understanding of their own scriptures.

1. I know he's an awful liberal, but Chaim do you find any of Woody Allen's early films funny? He does have an ingenious sense of comedy in his early films.

2. Does JTF do anything about hunting NAZIs (from WWII)?  Is there anyone pursuing NAZIs anymore or are we letting them get away.

[Manch]

Hello Chaim,
1) Completely disagree with you on your take of pet ownership. Always had dogs, have dogs now, don't see myself without them in the future - a bundle of joy. Besides, people owning dogs/pets live, on average, 8 years longer than the one who don't 
BTW, historically, in Israel, Jews lived with the domesticated animals under the same roof, it was quite practical for the common folk - provided shelter, security, warmth(in winter months), safer pregnancies(for animals), etc. Look into it.

2) On a serious note, a serious question: What kind of people are we? (Jews)

Thank you,
Manch

On the subject of pets: they do indeed cause uncleanness.  That's why I like seeing them at my mother's house but I don't keep any myself.  Sometimes a cat gets diarrhoea and then goes and sits on the dining room table or on the bed sheets.  It is an abomination.  I adore cats but I am can live without all the hassles that come with owning one.

[Hajar]

Shalom Chaim, hope all is well,

1. How long will the three temples take to be built?
2. Why do these ignorant new reform Jews allow cremation to take place. In england, the crematorium is opposite the Jewish graveyard.

I've also heard you mentioning on Take back America that the world opposes Israel. I think quite the contrary. Below what appears to be hate is the longing and desire for the Islamic world to be abolished. Since Israel is the only nation successfully doing so, they support it secretly. They are however too friggin scared to express their hate for Islam and Muslims and would rather much back away and give them what they want. Its messed up.


Thank you,

[Chaim, Jr.]

Chaim:  I remember that you said once that you and Rabbi Kahane despised holocaust memorial museums.  Why?  How well read are you on the holocaust?  Do you watch the documentaries like those on PBS and The History Channel?  Not withstanding Schindler's List,  what do you think of movies portraying the holocaust such as Diary of Anne Frank, The Attic, Holocaust, Escape From Sobibor, Shoah, Playing For Time, etc.  What do you think of poking light hearted fun at the holocaust and Nazis such as The Producers, Stalag 17 and Hogan's Heroes?  Does it trivialize a very serious situation?

Hello Dear Chaim,

Hope you had a great week and all is well.  2 quick ones.  I was wondering what beverages you consume in keeping with your healthy lifestyle?  I try to drink mainly water, but sometimes become bored with it.  I drink fruit juice on occasion but try to stay away from too much because of the sugar and calories.  I was wondering if you think it is okay to drink diet soda or waters flavored with artificial sweetners like Splenda.  Do you think these are harmful?

Also, if you have time, I know you have mentioned that Jesse Helms helped you obtain Kosher food while in prison.  Did you encounter any other righteous people during the time your were away for fighting for Soviet Jewry?  Thanks for taking the time to answer all our questions as always.  Have a great week and until next week G-d willing.

Ari

I never had a Bar Mitzvah.

Do you have a recommended starters reading syllabus for a 29 yr old Jew who is really just getting started with study?

Can you give me:

A: the top 5 most important books in Judaism and
B: the order I should read them in?
C: Name of best publishing company (where I won't find any left wing influence in the writing or commentary)

As much detail as you can give on what books to read would be appreciated.

I see lots of books at the bookstore, and am not quite sure what are the best ones to be reading.

[Vito]

Shalom Chaim,

First question: You say that Bible believing Christians and good Jews will and do produce intelligent, creative, inovative people (which I fully believe as well), but what about the atheist creative people (both of Jewish and Christian desent), how do they become creative? George Soros for instance said his parents weren't religious at all, and has said some extremely vile things about G-d and the Bible, and he is considered a great financial (evil) genius. Is it a reenforcement for evil people in the fight between good and evil, or are some people just born smart regardless of religious background?

The first question relates to my next question : When is a person of Jewish desent no longer Jewish? What draws the line between a self-hating Jew, and a person that is no longer Jewish. I ask this because you mention the "spiritual holocaust" in Russia, at what point do you consider those Jews no longer Jewish?

Toda raba,
Vito

Chaim,

I must take exception with what you said last week about how you think that Jews should not own pets. I couldn't disagree more and think that this is an absolutely preposterous statement. I am the proud owner of two cats and they are truly the joy of my life! There is nothing I wouldn't do for them and there is no way I would let anything or anyone take them away from me. Pets provide companionship and unconditional love. They also provide many health benefits like decreasing stress and depression and lowering blood pressure. I certainly can't comprehend how you can make this a Jewish issue and state that Jews shouldn't own any pets. I also think it's even more absurd when you state that dogs love Jews and hate Arabs. The great thing about pets is that they don't discriminate among religion, race, ethnicity, or culture. Pets provide unconditional love to their owners regardless of any of this. It's ridiculous to think that we can take the prejudices that we possess and project them onto pets who do not and cannot harbor prejudices against anyone according to race, religion, or culture. This is not a Jewish issue and nobody has the right to tell anyone that they shouldn't own pets. With all due respect, I expect better from you.

Daniel
