Sweden vs. Israel (and Evangelical Christians!): What happened to Neutrality?
Written by Marty Roberts on May 4, 2006 – 3:20 pm -In today’s show, my sights are set on Sweden.
This supposedly neutral country is turning out to be one of the most anti-Israel in all of Europe and Scandinavia.
The Swedish government has decided to grant entry visas to members of the terrorist organization, Hamas, contrary to the policy of most western and European countries.
They have also withdrawn from a planned military exercise due to the presence of the Israeli Air Force in the maneuvers.
How hostile can you get?
Add to this the recent exposure of a plot to attack a Christian Evangelical church in Upsalla, Sweden because of their pro-Israel position, and a very ugly picture begins to emerge of this frigid semi-socialist nation.
I also have a few things to say about Evangelical christian support of Israel in general, and singer MC Hammer, in particular.
Enjoy the show!
Sweden vs. Israel (and Evangelical Christians!): What happened to Neutrality?
Sweden is now the site of attacks on Evangelical Christian churches, as they welcome Hamas with open arms…
Sweden has granted entry visas to members of the terrorist organization Hamas…They say that Hamas is banned, but apparently that has nothing to do with its members…
And…A plot is uncovered to attack an Evangelical Christian church in Sweden…Why?…Because they showed support for Israel…
Sweden also refuses to participate in a European military exercise alongside Israel…Thought they were neutral…
Plus…What’s up with MC Hammer?…
All this and MORE…

Sweden

Sweden…
Beautiful NEUTRAL country, right?…
It will be a lot less beautiful after granting entry visas to members of the Hamas terrorist organization…
And it is a lot less neutral after refusing to participate in a military exercise alongside Israel…
Evangelical Christian Preacher Ulf Ekman

His crime?
His “Word of Life” church in Sweden was visited by Israel’s ambassador…
Oh, and they support Israel…
Oh, yeah, they also helped Jews from the former Soviet Union immigrate to Israel…
That’s why his church in Sweden was targeted for attack by an Iranian, a Bosnian and a native Swede…
NOW I get it…
MC Hammer – Before

That was him in the “Can’t Touch This” days…
MC Hammer – After (Now)

Today, he’s spreading “the Word”…
And supporting Israel, big time…

Yom HaAtzmaut 2006…Israel Independence Day…Happy 58th Birthday, Israel
Written by Marty Roberts on May 3, 2006 – 3:12 pm -In today’s show, I describe the festivities currently taking place in Israel, where we are currently celebrating 58 years of independence
The celebration has powerful religious AND secular components, all of which are extremely important for the Jewish people.
This year’s events carry even greater meaning, given the current political situation in Israel, a government standing solid on its intentions to surrender further parts of the Land of Israel and ready to expel 10′s of thousands of Jews from their homes here. The shadow of last Fall’s expulsions and surrenders is still cast over a strongly divided nation.
Enjoy the show!
Yom HaAtzmaut 2006…Israel Independence Day…Happy 58th Birthday, Israel
The festivities are in full swing here, in Israel…Marty shares his experience of the Israel Independence Day/Yom Ha Atzmaut holiday from right where it is happening today…from the more mundane musical revues, pop concerts, fireworks and barbecues…to the joyful singing and prayers of thanksgiving taking place in synagogues everywhere in the Jewish State…
This year, marking 58 years of independence has particular significance to Israelis, given the tragedies of surrender and the exile of Jews in the past months…With the recent election results and the prospect of further disaster loomng on the horizon…all the more reason for prayer and thanksgiving on this wonderful day of celebration for the Jewish Nation…
Plus…What are the rabbis saying about this year’s celebration?…
All this and MORE…

Yom HaAtzmaut…
58 years since the establishment of the Modern State of Israel…
We have an awful lot to be thankful for…
Miracles on a daily basis, the biggest of which is the existence of Israel at all…
We thank our Creator for the opportunity to be here to experience the wonder and joy of the Jewish State of Israel
What better way to celebrate Israel Independence Day than with fireworks and barbecues?
Believing Jews add one more aspect to our celebration of Yom HaAtzmaut…
Prayer and thanks to G-d for our Homeland…
We don’t forget how lucky we are to have our own Jewish State…
But we still love the fireworks and the grilled meat!
It’s been a rough year…
We’ve witnessed the surrender of parts of our Land and the expulsion of Jews from their homes…
The worst may be yet to come…
We hope and pray that it will only get better, but nowhere is it promised that the path will be easy…that there will not be setbacks and disappointments…
Jews around the world are joining in the celebrations of Israel Independence Day…
But nothing can compare to the joy of experiencing the festivities right here, in Eretz Yisrael…
What are you waiting for?
