“Dear, Isn’t That an Air Raid Siren?…Better Head Down to the Bomb Shelter…They’re Shooting Missiles at Our House Again…Darn”

Written by Marty Roberts on December 12, 2011 – 10:23 am -

Guess that’s life in Southern Israel these days…

Gaza Missiles Hit Beersheba

So me and the wife are settling in the other night for our evening ritual of TV series and snacks. I’m setting things up and Ellen is downstairs getting into her ‘jammies and sweats.
She calls me, but, me being a new member of the 60+ generation and a bit hard of hearing even before qualifying for membership in the AARP, I don’t answer, so she tries a bit louder.

“MARTY!!!”

“WHAT?”, my witty reply.

“It’s a siren”, she says, a bit louder this time. “You better get on down here”.

“Oh, crap”, says me, “We’re going to miss the beginning of Boardwalk Empire!…”Okay, okay, I’m coming…and I’ll bring the dogs.”

I realize that we better get in the “safe room”/bomb shelter that every home in Israel is required by building code to have. It’s rare that Hamas hits anything with their primitive missiles, but every now and then there’s a wrecked house, and there’s even been a few dead people.

So we gather downstairs, in the basement, under a doorjamb, far from any glass windows, but NOT QUITE in the bomb shelter itself. It’s kind of too cluttered with old cribs, books, dental molds and bird food for a full size human to fit in, let alone a couple and three dogs. Besides, the missiles don’t usually hit anything, right? But that siren is still wailing and it’s kind of a scary sound, even after the tenth time hearing it and running (slowly) to the shelter. Better safe than sorry.

So after a couple of minutes the siren stops. Ellen says, “Let’s go upstairs and watch TV”.

“But the orders say we wait in the shelter for10 minutes to be sure nothing explodes”.

“But we’re not REALLY even in the shelter.”

“Alright, alright”

After about 90 seconds, we get tired of standing there like fools, so we head up and hit the popcorn (now a bit burned), sunflower seeds. Boardwalk Empire, House and Dexter are waiting.

Hamas Rockets

I turn to Ellen about an hour later and say, “You know, I was just thinking. How weird is it? There are people that are actually shooting rockets and missiles at our house. For real. They want to blow up our house and kill you, me, the dogs and the children. FOR REAL!!! Could you imagine that if we were still living in America?”

“Shhhhh…”House” is starting.

I guess you get used to anything after a while.

Life in Southern Israel…

Barak Obama’s Middle East Policy Speech…Has The American President Completely Lost Touch With Reality?

Written by Marty Roberts on May 20, 2011 – 11:25 am -

He has to be either ignorant and uninformed, totally naive…or totally hostile to America’s best allies in the Middle East …

Radio Show/Podcast!!!

Listen to the show…

Obama speech

That’s the only possible explanation for the content of his policy speech at the US State Department yesterday.


obama slogans

How can he possibly call for the establishment of a hostile, terrorist state on Israeli land, while returning Israel to the in-defensible pre-1967 “Auschwitz” borders?

How can he expect Israel to make peace with the Hamas/Fatah/Iran terrorist entity now unified in their leadership of the Palestinian Authority…a united administration sworn to Israel’s destruction in both word and deed?


US taxpayer dollars

How can America pour massive sums of US taxpayer-dollars into countries like Egypt and Tunis, after causing the ouster of US-friendly leaders, soon to be replaced by Islamist, Jihadist Moslem Brotherhood governments?

How can Obama call for the downfall of Arab leader after Arab leader, but not do so for Syria’s Assad, who is murdering hundreds of his own citizens on a daily basis?


Plus…U.S Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle call for an immediate halt to American aid to the Palestinian Authority…


Tawfik Hamid

Islamic ThinkerTawfik Hamid

And…Former Muslim radical Tawfik Hamid writes:
“The Arab-Israeli conflict is NOT about borders, but about the EXISTENCE OF ISRAEL.”

Is The Western World Really Not Worried About It’s Future Oil Supply?

Written by Marty Roberts on February 8, 2011 – 4:12 pm -

Maybe Obama still thinks he can run the Western Hemisphere on corn energy…

No More Oil

Almost all of the free world’s supply of oil arrives via the Suez Canal.

Egypt controls the Suez Canal.

Obama and the Western World are about to let the Jihadists of Hamas, Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood take control of Egypt.

Connect the dots…..

Where is your oil going to come from after Mubarak falls and the Egyptian people “democratically” elect another Islamo-fascist ayatollah government?

Hamas is a Part of The Muslim Brotherhood

Written by Marty Roberts on February 8, 2011 – 10:32 am -

They are now poised to take control of the largest army in the Middle East, with the blessings and broad support of America and the West, from Right to Left, …

Muslim Brotherhood

American and other Western media continue to portray the Muslim Brotherhood as some kind of social organization, not unlike the Elks’ Club, or maybe the League of Women Voters…WRONG…VERY wrong….

They are about to take control of the Egypt, the largest Arab/Muslim country in the Middle East. with a population of 80 million. Egypt has the largest army in the Middle East, built and paid for by $1.2 billion of American taxpayers money PER YEAR for decades. The Muslim Brotherhood will also be controlling this army. They have stated clearly and openly that Egypt must cancel her peace treaty with israel. This would seem to imply that instead of a state that is at peace with Israel, Egypt will be a state at WAR with Israel. countries at war use their armies. So, thank you, America, for building the next army that Israel will have to defeat in order to continue to exist.

BTW, if you still do not quite get who the Brotherhood is, I am sure that you know who Hamas is, right? Well, Hamas is just another part of the Muslim Brotherhood…They do NOT deny it…They proudly proclaim it…Get it?

Hamas denies any role in Egypt turmoil



Hamas is part of Muslim Brotherhood, it is founded in Egypt more than 80 years ago, iand it is a major power in Egypt.


Reprinted from Al Qassam website

Al Qassam website – Islamic Hamas movement on Saturday denied media reports that the Gaza-based group was involved in fueling tension in Egypt.

Salah Al-Bardaweel, a Hamas spokesman, accused Egyptian media of “trying to implicate Hamas and the Palestinian people of Gaza in the events and popular uprising in Egypt.”

Hamas is part of Muslim Brotherhood, it is founded in Egypt more than 80 years ago, and it is a major power in Egypt.

Hamas, which won the parliamentary elections in 2006, has been controlling the Gaza Strip, which borders northern Sinai in north Egypt, since it routed forces loyal to the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in 2007.

Disengagement Voices-Who Do You Believe?-Sharon, Bush or, maybe Hamas, PA, PLO?

Written by Marty Roberts on October 4, 2010 – 9:59 am -


“First Gaza, Then Jerusalem”

– Abu Mazzen, Leader of the Palestinian Authority

Abu Mazzen

This is the man that the United States, European Union AND Israel ALL recognize as the democratically elected leader of the people who call themselves “palestinians”..

This is the leader expected by George W. Bush to “grow” democracy in the Arab Middle East…

This is the leader with whom Israel is supposed to be making peace…


“The Beginning of the End for the Zionist Program in the Region”

Khalid Mashaal, Hamas Leader

Khalid Mashaal

THIS is what the “palestinian-in-the-street” is hearing/hoping/believing…

If this is the beginning, what can we expect in the future, for the “continuation”???


This is How Israel’s Enemies Celebrate the Renewed Prospects for “Peace”

celebrations

The masks and guns are NOT Halloween or Purim props…they are for real…

They intend to use them to kill Jews (and Americans, don’t forget)…


celebrations

That cute little balloon represents a Kassam missile, hundreds of which have been launched at Israeli civilians over the past several years…

The Arabs have announced that they have moved LOTS of these missiles (the REAL ones) to Judea and Sumaria, within “spitting distance” of Israel’s major population centers, Tel Aviv, Raanan, Kfar Saba, Jerusalem, Afula, Hadera…you get the idea…

Peace, Peace…but There IS No Peace…

Written by Marty Roberts on September 2, 2010 – 12:40 pm -

And, for the foreseeable future, none is likely, between Israel and the palestinians…

Listen to the show…

For all of the people, from the smallest to the greatest, are greedy for gain. All of them act deceitfully…They act falsely…They attempt to heal My people without effort, saying, “Peace, peace…but there is no peace…”

Jeremiah…Jewish Prophet


failed peace

As Israeli and palestinian leaders are forced together in Washington under the false premise of “peace talks”, Hamas and the palestinians continue THEIR peace process in Israel…So far…four innocent civilians and one unborn fetus dead, two injured, in separate shooting attacks on Israel’s roads…

palestinian terror

Marty Roberts explains why the hopes for peace are a sham, at least for now, as the hatred, incitement and murder continues from the palestinian side…And the surveys show that the palestinian people continue to support killing of Jews…

palestinian terror atack

Also…The “moderate” Palestinian Authority continues to honor terrorists and broadcast pure hatred and incitement to murder Jews on official State-sponsored TV…

Plus…The grandson of one of the victims of Mahmoud Abbas’ palestinian massacre of the Israeli Team at the Munich Olympics in 1972 is beaten in an anti-semitic attack in Germany…

All this and more on “The Marty Roberts Show”…

Almost One Year Since the Israeli Retreat From Gaza…Dreams or Nightmares?

Written by Marty Roberts on August 22, 2010 – 8:50 am -

The real results of surrender to terrorism

No modern apartment buildings, no schools, no hospitals, no hotels, no tourist resorts…

No gardens, no farms, no agriculture at all…Only explosives and weapons and terrorists and more weapons and more terrorists…

What was Ariel Sharon thinking (or not)?…

Plus…A visit to a terrorist training camp in Gaza…It is run by a murderer that Israel released from prison…Just a regular guy, trying to make a living, like you and me…

Why we should NOT release terrorists from jail…

All this and MORE…

Jewish Gaza
The Community of Neve Dekalim BEFORE the Retreat

Care to Join Me in a Bite of Rose of Muhammed?

Written by Marty Roberts on August 20, 2010 – 12:47 pm -

But a danish pastry is still a danish pastry by any other name…But does it still taste as sweet?

Just how idiotic can we Western democratic-types get when it comes to appeasing el-wacko Islamic Jihadist fanatics?…
Also…The new terrorist Hamas government takes over the Palestinian Authority…What is in store for Israel?…What plans, if any, are being made?…What steps are being taken in light of the new, rapidly changing realities in our Middle-East neighborhood?…Marty may surprise you with some answers!…
And…Australian Prime Minister Howard demonstrates some backbone in standing up to the Jihadists in Australia…Something that seems to be sorely lacking elsewhere in the Free World…
Plus…Frightened Danish soccer players, Danes meeting with the dead in Israel, and more on the future of Hamas-stan…All this and MORE…

Rose of Muhammed?
It USED to be called a Danish!

Rose of Muhammed

Different strokes for different folks…

Wonder if it will taste like french fries…

Or, maybe, more like freedom-fries?…


Signs of Things to Come in Hamas-stan
AKA Palestinian Authority-controlled Areas of Israel

No Drinking

Hamas, who is now controlling the Palestinian Authority, is a fundamentalist jihadist Muslim organization…

The new Hamas terrorist Palestinian Authority has the desire AND the ability to impose Islamic Sharia Law on the areas under their control (which also happen to be parts of Israel!)

Prime Minister Haniyeh is talking about changing the law…

Why?…Because he can…

Under the law, drinking of alcohol would be illegal…


Dont’ Bet on It…

No Gambling

And, how about the casino sitting closed in Jericho?

He talks about turning it into a mosque!!! (gambling is ALSO illegal under Islamic law)

Dov Weinglas, Sharon’s and Olmert’s top advisor, probably won’t be too happy about that, will he?

Oh, well…easy come, easy go…

Why Don’t The Leaders of Israel Ever Seem to Learn From Their Mistakes?

Written by Marty Roberts on August 17, 2010 – 12:47 pm -

“It’s Deja-vu All Over Again” with the recent arming of Abu Mazen’s private militia…

And the weapons were supplied by Egypt and Jordan, no less!…

Why didn’t they learn from the (myriad) mistakes of Oslo?…Why didn’t they learn from the mistakes of arming Force 17?…Why didn’t they learn from the mistakes of appointing wanted terrorists to be Palestinian Authority officials?…

This time, Israel’s most-wanted man #5, Mahmoud Dimra, AKA Abu Awad, will lead the private security force of Mahmoud Abbas, AKA Abu Mazen…(the “Abu” things are their cutesy terrorist “nicknames”)…

Plus…At long last, peace between Abu Mazen and Arafat widow, Suha Arafat…Maybe she will make a donation from her $1 billion-plus bank account to help avert a humanitarian crisis amongst her people in the palestinian authority…Yeah, right…She only gets $100,000 per month salary from the Palestinian Authority…(international donors to the PA please note!)…

All this and MORE…
