Strange Happenings in the Middle East: Terrorist Policemen and Syria-Iran Alliances

CLICK PLAY Button to Listen to “The Marty Roberts Show”

From Syria openly allying with Iran to wanted terrorists donning police uniforms, current events here, in the Middle East, can only be described as “surreal”!

How else can you explain the hiring, by the Palestinian Authority, of fugitive terrorists to work as uniformed, armed policemen. And, of course, who is pay rolling the salaries? The United States and the European Union!! And NO ONE is even blinking an eye!!! (except me, maybe)

Also…high-level meetings and statements of unity in Tehran. Syria and Iran are forming a new strategic alliance of mutual defense against, who else? The United States and Israel!!!

Marty Roberts attempts to make SOME sense out of these and other Middle East oddities in this 25 minute edition of “The Marty Roberts Show”.

Is This What Swords Beaten into Plowshares Look Like???…Putin’s Front Door

Did We, or Didn’t We???

The Rain Turned Red: Modern-Day Plague, or Paint-Factory Pollution???

The Safest Beaches in the World???…Well, Sure…Now that the pollution and the sharks have been dealt with!!!

Leaving Egypt

Why do so many Israeli Jews want to go back there for Passover, even in the face of terror warnings??? G-d SAID that we were a stiff-necked people, didn’t He???…

It would seem that Syria is slowly, inexorably pushing Israel towards military confrontation…another war from Israel’s north. This, in the face of empty talk of peace by Syrian President Assad. Assad, another Arab leader claiming he wants nothing but peace with Israel, but with the caveat that it be peace, only if he is given everything that he demands…Unacceptable, of course, to side #2 in this “peace”, Israel.

Syria has transferred more missiles to the Hizbullah terrorist organization in Lebanon…this time, much longer-ranged Scud missiles, capable of reaching most of Israel. Hizbullah is openly dedicated to destroying the Jewish State of Israel.

Both Israel AND the US have warned Syria about the danger of supplying Hizbullah with weapons, so far, to no avail.

Israeli Army bulldozers were filmed building embankments north of the security fence with Lebanon, an apparent preparation for war on that rapidly boiling front. More likely would be strikes by the Israeli Air Force on selected Syrian and Lebanese targets threatening Israel.

The scent of war is strong in the Middle East today…

Scud Missiles Placed in Lebanon are Threatening Most of Israel

Barak: Syria-Lebanon arms transfer violates UN resolutions

The transfer of advanced Syrian weapons to Lebanon destabilizes the region and is a blatant violation of United Nations resolutions, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Tuesday in response to media reports that Syria recently transferred Scud missiles to Hizbullah.

On Monday, Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai reported that Damascus had transferred the missiles to Hizbullah and that in response, Israel had threatened to bomb Syrian and Lebanese targets.

Barak said Tuesday that the IDF was closely following what was happening in Lebanon.

“We have no offensive intentions with regard to Lebanon,” he said during a tour of the IDF’s Tel Hashomer Base. “We recommend that everyone work to retain the quiet.”

Earlier in the day, Barak visited the Ramat David Air Force Base with Deputy Chief of General Staff Maj.-Gen. Benny Gantz and said the IDF was prepared for all of the challenges it currently faced.

At the same time, though, Barak said Israel needed to make efforts to achieve peace with its neighbors.
