In the Middle East, Things Are RARELY What They Seem to Be
Written by Marty Roberts on June 15, 2010 – 1:25 pm -Lovers of Peace…Be Careful What You Wish For!!…
New Show/Podcast!!!
Israel’s Arab neighbors are indifferent to the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran, right? WRONG!!…And they are ready to help arch-enemy ISRAEL stop the mullahs,,,
The palestinians are united in their desire for a new homeland…of course!!…Wrong again…Listen to the facts and the historical reasons why…
All of the nations of the Middle East (except Israel, of course) are united in their desire to support the palestinians and have them achieve their goal of an independent state…Well, right…except that NONE of them want it to happen!!!…Listen to understand why the Middle East countries would like nothing better that to NEVER see the creation of a palestinian state, Islamist or otherwise (with the possible exception of Syria, who simply could not care less one way or the other)
Finally, everyone would agree that the blockade on Gaza MUST be removed…Gaza MUST be opened up, correct?…Well, yes, everybody, that is, except for the countries in the MIddle East, like Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and, oh yeah, don’t forget the ruling palestinian Fatah Party themselves.
So, if you really want peace, if you really hate war…better be careful about your campaign to open up Gaza…Better be careful about allowing the current delicate balance of power in the Middle East to be upset…In short…Pray for Israel’s strength…

Feminists…Where the Heck Are You???
Written by Marty Roberts on March 5, 2010 – 11:41 am -NOT in Saudi Arabia, I must say…
At least the punishment fits the crime…NOT! How dare a female human being move about freely in Saudi Arabia WITHOUT a male escort. Horrendous!! Immoral!! Lascivious!! She should be happy that she is only being horsewhipped and thrown in jail and not beheaded…
BTW, where are those feminist groups now, when we need them? Moral relativism even amongst feminists????

Reprinted from Heraldsun.com.au
A human rights group said today Sawsan Salim was convicted last month in a court in Rass, in Qassim province, after petitioning officials in the kingdom’s capital Riyadh.The petition included King Abdullah over what she alleged was years of abuse by local justice officials, the US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a statement.
Despite her request for intervention, two local judges charged her with filing 118 “spurious complaints” against officials, including the judges themselves, and “appearing … without a male guardian” between 2004 and 2008.
On January 25, she was convicted after a month-long trial before two judges, one of whom was a plaintiff in the case and the original target of Salim’s harassment allegations, according to HRW.
The group called for higher authorities to quash the verdict.
Salim alleges that ever since she rejected local judge Habib Abdullah al Aqsa’s repeated urging to divorce her husband, who was jailed over debts, in 2004, that judge and other officials continually created trouble for her.
On numerous occasions through 2008, HRW said, officials “chided Salim for not being accompanied by a male guardian during her visits to their offices.”
Under Saudi Arabia’s ultra-strict version of Islam, women are not supposed to move around outside the home without a male guardian.
Salim and her lawyer petitioned top officials several times over the years of harassment.
“She owns a business, and they were making things very difficult for her,” said Nadya Khalife, an HRW women’s rights researcher for the Middle East.
“She didn’t keep things quiet.”
Two local judges, including Aqsa, countered with their own accusations and their case went to trial in December, resulting in the conviction. Aqsa was one of the judges appointed to try the case.
“In Saudi Arabia, being a woman going about her legitimate business without a man’s protection is apparently a crime,” Khalife said.

With Modern Weapons Going to the Arabs..Good Thing Israel Has G-d in Her Corner
Written by Marty Roberts on February 24, 2010 – 10:03 am -I guess money talks…or, more likely, European arms dealers are more than happy to see Israel’s enemies get stronger and stronger. The Saudis are not exactly friends of the Jewish State, although they often masquerade as such when it suits their interests in wooing the United states. Good thing Israel has G-d in her corner…

Human Rights for Women in Saudi Arabia…2010?
Written by Marty Roberts on February 22, 2010 – 4:02 pm -Are the so-called “human rights” groups in the Western World, especially America, afraid to speak out about women’s rights in Muslim countries? Maybe they just don’t consider women as “human” enough?
I really don’t get it…
Let a palestinian be delayed for 5 minutes at an Israeli security checkpoint, designed to prevent innocent men, women and children from being brutally murdered…these human rights groups go in to a feeding frenzy…
But brutally surpress one-half of an entire population in Saudi Arabia…not a word…nada…no comment…

The government is said to be drafting new rules to permit female lawyers to argue family cases
Saudi could allow women lawyers in court: reports
Saudi Arabia could soon allow women lawyers to appear in court, though apparently only representing other women, the country’s justice minister said in comments published on Sunday.

It is Clear That the Palestinians are NOT Interested in Peace with Israel…Just listen to what their leaders are saying…That means YOU, too, Condoleeza and George W…
Written by Marty Roberts on March 28, 2007 – 10:30 am -If you just pay attention to what the enemies of Israel(i.e.the peace partners, the palestinians, the so-called “moderates”) are saying today, it could not be more apparent that there is no hope whatsoever for peace right now…George W. Bush’s dream of 2 states living side by side in peace and security is nonsense…It is a non-starter, at least for now…Listen to Khaled Mashal and Mohammed Al-Zahar…Listen to Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazzen) himself…They are the leaders of the Palestinian Authority and the palestinian “people”…Condoleeza Rice is wasting her time and American jet fuel…Wake up, world…Marty explains…Plus…Christian Evangelical supporters of Israel are holding a dramatic conference in Jerusalem…All this and more on “The Marty Roberts Show”…
