For time immemorial, the Arabs and Muslims have managed to base a substantial portion of their culture on people, places and ideas holy to the Jewish People and Israel…Fromk their claim to the Muslim “holiness” of Jerusalem to countless gravesites and Mosques, they steal the heritage of the Jews and claim it as their own…
This past November 29th, 2012, the Palestinian Authority chose to hijack the anniversary of the United Nations partition of Palestine, creating the Modern State of Israel and what should have been a palestinian State (which the Arabs refused to accept) and make it the day for their being declared a non-member observer “state” at the UN…
On today’s show:
The story of November 29, 1947…the ORIGINAL United Nations Resolution…
Why the recent UN activity is a dual violation of the Oslo Accords…originally intended to be the basis for peace between the Israelis and Palestinian Arabs…A look at the enormous laundry list of violations of Oslo by the Palestinian Authority, which, by all reasonable standards, should make the agreement null and avoid…
Also…How both Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert gave the Arabs MORE opportunities for their Palestinian State…Which they summarily refused, as they did the first time, in 1947…
Plus…Happy Channukah…Especially to you guys in Miami Beach, who got to watch their menorah burn…almost literally, not to mention the anti-semitic statements posted on said menorah…

Peres is scheduled to receive the Highest civilian honor granted by the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Prior to the awards ceremony, armed with petitions holding close to 100,000 signatures from across the spectrum of politics, arts, humanities and professions, with wall-to-wall support in the U.S Congress, Peres will request yet again the release of Jonathan Pollard from prison.
Pollard has served close to 27 years of a lifetime sentence for passing security secrets to an American ally…a crime fro which the median sentence is 2 to 4 years…
Will today be the day?…
We can only hope and pray…
Also…In American, the Supreme Court says you can be strip-searched for ANY offense, no matter how minor…But here, in Israel, don’t you DARE touch an Arab terrorist that way!!

Spring festivals in the Jewish Homeland, Israel…
On today’s show:
The joy of a Jew living in our homeland, Israel…
Nothing quite brings it out like the Passover holiday season…Nothing reminds us more strongly just how lucky we are to be able to live here like celebrating Pesach in the Spring right here, in Israel…
From the joy of the seder night, to touring Israel’s National Parks and historic sites…
From the north of the country to the south…
And then, there’s Jerusalem…Walking the ramparts of the Old City…
or visiting the once-in-a-lifetime Ice City…
And nowhere else is the Priestly Blessing delivered more authentically…
All this is dependent upon Israel remaining the Jewish State…But because we are a secular, democratic Jewish State, all religions are free to celebrate their faith here, including the Christian Easter in Jerusalem…
The Left will have you believe that if we do not create a separate palestinian state, they will overwhelm the Jewish nature of Israel…This is simply not true, as I explain in today’s show (thanks to the wonderful work of retired ambassador Yoram Ettinger)

Israeli author A. B. Yehoshua made some interesting and controversial statements in a speech delivered last week in the U.S. He seriously questions the ability for some one to be a “complete” Jew while still living in the diaspora…A secular, but very Jewish point of view.
On today’s show…
An exploration of A. B. Yehoshua’s speech…What was he saying?…What did he mean?…Why?
Why should Jews live in Israel? (other than the fact that it’s a pretty good place to live, these days)…The Torah-Commandment, religiously observant point of view vs. the purely secular, zionist argument…And what did Ramban (Nachmanides) and other talmudic sages have to say about this issue?
Plus…A. B. Yehoshua and the Holocaust…Was it an unavoidable, tragic event in history, or was the Holocaust a “Jewish failure”?
Also…some comments about the murders of innocent Israeli children and their father in France, an ongoing story…

Death Threats Against a Young Israeli Musician By the Organizers of the “Peace Flotilla” to Gaza…Peace?…I Don’t think So
Written by Marty Roberts on June 12, 2011 – 4:13 pm -If any of you are still deluding yourselves that the “flotillas” coming with the “humanitarian” mission to break Israel’s blockade of the terrorists in Gaza have anything whatsoever to do with peace…
Please, think again…
Death threats against an Israeli musician by the organizers of the latest flotilla?
Can this have ANYTHING whatsoever to do with peace?
Can anybody involved with these violent assaults on international law and Israel’s sovereignty truly call themselves a “peace activist”?
Yuval Ron
I don’t think so…
Israeli musician cancels Istanbul concert
Death threats, allegedly from flotilla-organizing IHH, lead Yuval Ron to cancel performance in Turkey.
Reprinted from jpost.com
Death threats, allegedly from the Turkish NGO that helped organize the 2010 Gaza protest flotilla, led to the cancellation of a concert in Istanbul by Oscar-winning Israeli musician Yuval Ron, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported on Friday.The IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation has denied making the threats, but confirmed that it did oppose the holding of the concert.
Ron, the leader of a musical ensemble that includes Muslim, Jewish and Christian artists, told Hurriyet on Friday, “I am very sorry, I had to cancel the concert because of the safety of my team members.
The cancellation of the concert will harm Turkey’s image in the world. But I want to return to Turkey and realize this concert [in the future],” said Ron, who won the 2007 Academy Award for Short Film for writing the music for West Bank Story.
The concert, which was scheduled for Thursday night in Istanbul’s Sultanahmet neighborhood, was canceled it because of threats from IHH, Hurriyet reported.

And then there’s Condoleeza Rice’s massive espionage campaign against Israel…

Just what else would the world be missing were it not for the existence of the 100th smallest country in the world…the country that the world loves to hate…Israel…
The results were mind-boggling, even to me, who already loves the Jewish State…
