Passover Spring…Why Israel is the Best Place to Be…And Why It’s Likely to Stay That Way (BTW, it’s not too shabby for Easter, either)…
Written by Marty Roberts on April 11, 2012 – 12:47 pm -The so-called Arab Demographic Time Bomb threatening the Jewish nature of the State of Israel is nothing more than a big old dud…

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)

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”)…
Macy Gray
