The American people have always overwhelmingly supported one of their closest allies, Israel, but, all too often, American government policy does not seem to bear this out…
Two cases in point recently were highlighted in the media…
Rosen and Weissman...Two Ruined Lives
The FBI’s unfounded pursuit and subsequent failed prosecution of AIPAC’s Steve Rosen…
And then there’s Condoleeza Rice’s massive espionage campaign against Israel…
How can this be?
[/caption]
Then, there’s the granddaddy of them all…Jonathan Pollard…Imprisoned for 25 years…Time to let him go…
Shinya Maeda
Also…Israeli cuisine reaches new peaks as Chef Brueh retires in Tel Aviv, accompanied by world-renowned Gorden Ramsay protege Shinya Maeda from Japan…
And…Yeshiva Rabbis ban the new plague…cellular telephones…
David and Goliath
Plus…David and Goliath Redux, and Macy Gray is on the way (even if she does call some of her fans “assholes”)…

Written by Marty Roberts on August 12, 2010 – 1:32 pm -Podcast: Play in new window | Download
G-d’s Method of Encouraging Aliyah Immigration to Israel?…
Anti-Zionism=Anti-Semitism
The anti-semitic attacks continue to rise…vandalism, assault, bombs, verbal abuse…
Oliver Stone
People are not afraid to verbalize their Jew-hatred in the grandest, most public of forums…minimal criticism…zero outrage…as emphasized by Oliver Stone’s recent Sunday Times interview…
What is this about? What is the reason? Is their a Divine purpose, or are humans just repugnant creatures?
Marty Roberts offers some ideas that may upset you…
Also…It’s “go-into-the-army season” in Israel…
Some interesting stories…
Cpl Elinor Joseph
Like Corporal Elinor Joseph…Israel’s First female Arab combat soldier…
She’s Christian, but an Arab, all the same…
And military service in the Israeli Army for soldiers with “special needs”….
The IDF is the world’s most humane fighting force, without a doubt…
Sderot Shelter Exhibition
Plus…Artists 4 Israel bring the “bomb Shelter experience” of Sderot, Israel to East Hampton, New York, USA…
Listen to how this group brings the reality of 10,000+ missile and rocket attacks to life in this posh American community…

Not to mention tying up half of the country’s road traffic for the better part of a day…He defaced Israel’s security barrier, while slinging ill-advised slurs to the media as to the justness of its existence, and held his concert in an out-of-the-way hamlet to appease his anti-Israel home crowd contingency…

Yo Yo Defense Minister
Defense Minister Amir Peretz…
He really should stick to being a labor rabble-rouser…
What do you mean, “The real enemies of the Palestinians are the terrorists”?????????????????
Something like, “They are their own worst enemies?”
Well, they are also Israel and the Jews’ worst enemies, so how about defeating them with the Israeli Army that you are now in command of, OK?
Kassam Missile – Destination: Sderot, Israel
The INTENT is to kill and maim innocent people…
G-d continues to protect us…
Doesn’t the intent of the palestinian enemies count for anything?
Will it only matter if, G-d forbid, they succeed?
Kassam Missiles Over Sderot
The high school kids in Sderot thought that they were going to be facing a difficult test…
Little did they know just HOW difficult…
Good thing that most of them were still praying in the adjacent classroom…
G-d answered their prayers (again)…

Elton John Performs in Tel Aviv…The Man Has B-lls and CLASS!!
Written by Marty Roberts on June 20, 2010 – 4:27 pm -
Elton John
We all know Elton John is a fabulous musician..his performances are legendary…his songs are part of the classic history of music…
I saw him perform in the 1970′s and he blew me away…
I have been listening to his music since the ’70s…I have been playing his music for almost 40 years…
I have been hearing about his sexual proclivities for 30+ years…
I just learned something new about Elton John…THE MAN HAS B-LLS!!!
Bravo on your performance in Israel…Thank you, Elton John…
Elton John Performs in Tel Aviv Amid Gaza Conflict
Elton John showed his support for the people of Israel during a performance in Tel Aviv on Thursday, June 17 when he took aim at artists who had pulled shows in the country in protest of the government’s alleged treatment of Palestinians
Reprinted from Peace FM Online
The “Rocket Man” star refused to bow to pressure and follow in the footsteps of musicians like Pixies and Elvis Costello and scrap his concert in response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine over the Gaza strip.In May, rocker Costello canceled two planned gigs in Tel Aviv on June 30 and July 1, insisting it was “a matter of instinct and conscience” to axe the shows following an Israeli military raid on a flotilla of ships attempting to carry aid supplies to Palestine. But John pressed ahead with his concert at the Ramat Gan stadium on Thursday, defiantly telling the 50,000-strong crowd, “Shalom, we are so happy to be back here! Ain’t nothing (sic) gonna stop us from coming, baby!”
And he briefly addressed the canceled concert controversy by calling on his fellow singers to put aside their political allegiances to unite fans of all cultures. He said, “Musicians spread love and peace, and bring people together. That’s what we do. We don’t cherry-pick our conscience.
