January 3, 2012 – 1:11 pm

Twitter

We’re talking the likes of Hizbullah and Al-Quaeda here…Why isn’t anybody doing anything about this???

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Not Twitter, not the American State Department, not the U.S. Department of Justice…They seem to be more concerned with going after on-line poker sites and catching people downloading episodes of TV shows and computer games than international Jihad…

December 20, 2011 – 1:11 pm

Women in black

New heights of religion-mandated modesty, or just cultish craziness?…Depends upon which religion you ascribe to…

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

With more and more women in Israel covering themselves from head to toe in black burkas, it would be a good time to look at what this phenomenon is all about. What are the roots of female dress in Islam historically? How is this affected by modern fundamentalist interpretation of the Koran and other Islamic writings? What are the implications for Muslim women?…


And what about the small cult of “Jewish Taliban” … Read entire article…

Is Democracy, in and of itself, an absolute, positive value?…Even when the majority choose evil?

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

The results of early rounds in the Egyptian elections make it clear that the largest, most powerful Arab country in the Middle East is going to be run by fundamentalist Islamic jihadist parties. These parties clearly call for the Islamic Sharia Law to be the basis of Egypt’s yet-to-be-written constitution. By choosing as they did, the Egyptians follow the other countries in the region, Turkey, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, with Syria and Jordan … Read entire article…

Gaza Missiles Hit Beersheba

Guess that’s life in Southern Israel these days…

So me and the wife are settling in the other night for our evening ritual of TV series and snacks. I’m setting things up and Ellen is downstairs getting into her ‘jammies and sweats.
She calls me, but, me being a new member of the 60+ generation and a bit hard of hearing even before qualifying for membership in the AARP, I don’t answer, so she tries a bit louder.

“MARTY!!!”

“WHAT?”, my witty reply.

“It’s a siren”, she says, a bit louder this time. “You better get on down here”.

On yesterday’s radio show,
(Click HERE to view the articles and listen to the show)
I highlighted U.S. Secretary of State Clinton’s remarks in a recent speech. She expressed serious concerns over a small group of religiously observant Israeli Army soldiers unwillingness to listen to a group of female singers performing at an official army ceremony. Hillary is very concerned over the obvious degeneration of democracy and women’s rights in Israel highlighted by this event.

Tsk, tsk.

I guess training American Marines how to urinate, fart and defecate in a way that does not “offend” the religion of Islam is … Read entire article…

The Gaza Flotilla is on a Humanitarian Mission?…I Don’t Think So

July 4, 2011 – 9:19 am

gaza flotilla

If they were REALLY concerned only about getting needed supplies to Gaza, and not just with stirring up conflict with the Israeli authorities and hatred towards the Israeli Jews, why would the “humanitarian activists” refuse the offer of the Greek government to ship all of the so-much-needed supplies to Gaza?

The leopard has so clearly revealed it’s stripes…Why does the world not see this?
At least the Greek and Turkish governments seems to have come to their senses with their respective legal actions succeeding in stopping the the sailing of this abomination…at least for now…
