Oasis in Jericho: The Story of the Palestinian Casino

Written by Marty Roberts on July 27, 2010 – 10:07 am -

Weisglas Fit the Battle of Jericho…..And the Bucks Came ROLLING In!!

Oasis Casino Jericho

Dov Weisglas is probably the second most powerful figure in Israel, second only to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. As Special Advisor to Sharon, Weisglas created and engineered the plan to expel some 10,000 Jews from their homes and destroy their communities in Israeli Gaza and the Northern Shomron. So what has this got to do with Jericho? He is responsible for negotiations with the PLO AND the United States, representing Israel and speaking for the Prime Minister, Sharon.

Marty uncovers serious financial conflicts of interest in Weisglas’ role regarding the Palestinian Casino in Jericho and the soon-to-be-abandoned (Heaven forbid!!) Jewish communities in Gaza. And Weisglas is not the only one…..

Dov Weisglas
Also….Can there be such a concept as “relative peace”? Marty questions the idea on this edition of “The Marty Roberts Show”.

The show is 25 minutes long.

Israel Has Become a Hot Spot for Rock Concerts

Written by Marty Roberts on July 26, 2010 – 9:30 am -

We’re going to be hearing Sting, Fifty-Cent, Black Eyed Peas and more in pop rock concerts in Israel this summer…And, of course, Madonna is always popping in and out of her new home-away-from home, the Jewish homeland…

Ricky Martin cancelled his planned rock concert in Israel, and do did American Idol Kelly Clarkson…

Speaking of American Idol, what’s with the crazy results this week?…Did America REALLY vote out Chris Daughtry?…I guess that demonstrates the wisdom of the American voting public, huh?…

Plus, war with Egypt…Yuval Steinitz (and all of the relevant signs) says it’s not unlikely in the near future, and Jim Carrey comes and goes…

Jewish Camp

Camp Ramah

These places are having a LOT of influence on our Jewish children’s lives…

Take the good with the bad?

Are Western Jewish children being raised to be the strong, proud Jewish adults???…

Or maybe something less???


Conflict Resolution – American Style?

Conflict Resolution - American Style?


Is this ALWAYS the best way???

Any danger involved???

Seventh grade kids, anyone???


Conflict Resolution – Israeli Style?

Conflict Resolution - Israeli Style?

Or maybe, boys will be boys, in the true sense of the word?

Are there any valuable lessons to be learned by standing up for yourself?

Should our children be taught THESE lessons as well?


Marty Roberts – NOT a Talking Head?

Maybe a “Vibrant Voice”? (says listener “Michael”)
