Shalom,
So my name is Gamaliel, I'm 19 and I'm in my first year in computer science at the University of Brussels (i want to become software developer, i'm learning c++/opengl on the side).
To make it short I'm Mizrahim from caucasus on my father side, my great-grandfather moved away to france from what is now called dagestan. My mother side is mostly Ashkenaze from lithuania.
I speak french, flemish (still not as good as someone living in belgium should but i don't like this language) and english as good as i can. I don't speak nor read Hebrew yet but it will be a priority in a few years as i don't see myself living in europe nor arriving in Israel without at least a basic knowledge of it.
I'm quiet ignorant about news/politics in the USA, so my contribution will mostly be about things happening in europe and israel, but still i'll read with pleasure what you people are writing, learning at same time.
I'm obviously Zionist, but i have to add that my support to the government of Israel is nearly inexistent. Not only because of the clear anti-Jewish decisions it takes but because i have problems accepting something else than a religious Jewish government following Torah and Talmudic rulings in Israel.
Lastly to make things clear and to dissipate all possible miss-understanding:
-For the owner of jews against obama blog,the email i used to sign my messages on your blog (************@aol.com) is not the one i used here to register (to make it simple i use the one here, the other is just for places i don't know well with a email field). So to conclude i'm the Gamaliel1990 who posed two days ago on your site.
-To jtf admin or mods, as you'll see my ip address will change as i use an onion routing software both for bypassing the student-homes filtering software which blocks jtf.org along lot of other sites and forums and by personal preference. While in USA you have the freedom to express yourself and have your constitution as guaranty, most of us living in europe don't. Belgium being one of the leading nation in what seems to be a race to find out which is the most antisemitic country in europe, i don't feel comfortable having any muslim/jew-hater working in telecoms monitoring sites i visit, or my religious/political beliefs.
If the use of such routing software is against jtf.org policy, well i'll just continue reading and listening to M. Ben Pesach only.
Have a good day.
See you soon.
