Why does the Pope have a little knob on the top of his Kippa? A Jew would
never have a knob on the top of a Kippa. Why? Because it would hurt that
someone hit the top of your head with the Kippa on with the knob. The knob
would dig into our heads. Do you think it is because the Pope is a Gentile,
all his clergy are Gentiles and until the Roman Catholic Church returns all the
items stolen from the Beit Hamikdash the Roman Catholic Church are no better
than a group of organized thieves? Yes the Romans conquered Israel and the
Jewish people only because Hashem was punishing the Jews. Today in this time
Hashem is blessing Israel and the Jewish nation, and above all Israeli Jews and
many of the Jews in the Galut have learned that when we fight to honor the
Torah and her statues we are strengthened immensely by the ever living G-d of
Israel. So why does the Pope have a knob on his Kippa? Why does he even need
a Kippa? He's a Gentile. I really believe there are observant Israelis on
Eretz Israel that won't wear a Kippa because the Pope wears a Kippa and they
don't want to look like the Pope. And that's fine and Dandy more power to
them, however when I'm home on Eretz Israel I wear a Kippa because it shows I'm
a Jew, and I wear a Kippa without a knob.
Another thing that I like is the way many people in the Israeli government
don't wear neckties. It was pretty common in the old days to seldom see an
Israeli wear a necktie. And why is that? Because Israelis are natural born
fighters. In a fight you grab someone buy the necktie and you can strangle him
easier. Oh there are some that say I'm wrong. They say it's because of the
climate on Eretz Israel that Israelis don't wear neckties. It's cooler with
the shirt unbuttoned at the top. They are right too, but I guarantee you put a
group of Jewish men in a room, put neckties on them and before you can count
the number woman they've had their neckties will be on the floor.
Just a few thoughts on Jewish culture. For further discussion let us examine
why Hashem permitted gentiles to conquer Israel first by the Greeks and second
by the Romans. I was always under the impression that it was because we, the
Jews started fighting among ourselves and we can blame it on the gentles. If
the gentiles were not among us to spread the seed of hate and discontent Jews
would fair very well. I don't hold to the old adage that if the Jews didn't
have the gentiles to fight with we would fight amongst ourselves. In fact I
hold to the belief that if Jews were the only beings in existence we would have
a more perfect and peaceful world. Why do we need gentiles? The Aggadda says
during the war of Gog and Magog, Hashem will fight for Israel and kill the
gentiles. I believe that and I believe the G-d of Israel is just like the
Shemah says, He's One, and we should love him with all our hearts, souls and
minds. And he doesn't wear a Kippa with a knob on top. We did Arafat with
success, now lets do the Pope.

The word "Jew," therefore, is ultimately traced to the Hebrew Yehudi, a term
which originally applied to members of the tribe of Judah........
