The latest edition of “The Marty Roberts Show”, for Friday, April 7, is posted.
In today’s show, I focus on threats by the international controlling body of soccer, FIFA, against Israel.
I talk about the ongoing daily missile barrage against southern Israel, and the measures that Israel’s defense establishment have taken to stop the attacks.
Apparently, Israeli artillery hit a soccer field in Gaza, and FIFA is furious, threatening severe sanctions. The dialogue taking place between Israel and FIFA is incredibly surreal, threatening my sanity, as I share the inside scoop with you…
Not to mention the new, improved missiles and launchers being developed, courtesy of the Palestinian Authority and YOUR tax dollars.
Shabbat Shalom!!!
Have you noticed who led the U. of Maryland Terrapins to victory in the NCAA women’s basketball championships?
It was Shay Doron of Israel. The starting guard led her team to a huge upset victory over Duke in a dramatic second-half comeback, after being down by 13 at the break.
“…Toliver had 16 points, four assists and just three turnovers in the title game. Final Four Most Outstanding Player Laura Harper and Shay Doron also scored 16 for the Terrapins, who were charter members of the Final Four 25 years ago but struggled before Frese took over the program in 2002….”
Shay was 6 for 6 free throws, coming back to play tough, Israeli style, after being physically pounded by Duke players towards the end of the game.
She came to U. Maryland from Great Neck, NY, but played in Tel Aviv before that, having led the Israel National Team to a Div B European championship in 2005. That same year she also led the US team to victory in the Maccabi games.
Shay, we’re proud of you here, in Israel, but we’re waiting for you to come back home!!!
