Israeli author A. B. Yehoshua made some interesting and controversial statements in a speech delivered last week in the U.S. He seriously questions the ability for some one to be a “complete” Jew while still living in the diaspora…A secular, but very Jewish point of view.

On today’s show…

An exploration of A. B. Yehoshua’s speech…What was he saying?…What did he mean?…Why?

Why should Jews live in Israel? (other than the fact that it’s a pretty good place to live, these days)…The Torah-Commandment, religiously observant point of view vs. the purely secular, zionist argument…And what did Ramban (Nachmanides) and other talmudic sages have to say about this issue?

Plus…A. B. Yehoshua and the Holocaust…Was it an unavoidable, tragic event in history, or was the Holocaust a “Jewish failure”?

Also…some comments about the murders of innocent Israeli children and their father in France, an ongoing story…

Also…A delayed reaction by US lawmakers to the proposed $60 Billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia…

Plus…Just where in the Bible are the Jews commanded to live in the Land of Israel and serve in the Israeli Army?…

Maybe America SHOULD pay more attention to the Simpsons!!

Here’s what the show is about:

Wave the Palestine Flag?? Marty is a bit ticked off at the noises coming out of the US President as he starts his “World Tour” in Brussels today. Is George W. trying to ride on the back of Israel? Is he using Israel as a decoy to take the pressure off harsh criticism of his own activities in the region?

Does Bush REALLY believe that there needs to be another hostile Arab state in Israel’s neighborhood?

And, REALLY, let’s forget this PALESTINIAN PEOPLE myth once and for all!!! Time for Marty to de-bunk once again.

Maybe THAT’S why the coming episode of The Simpsons” dealing with homosexuality is getting more attention that Bush’s “Grand European Tour”!!

Marty also talks about the current state of morality, especially in the media. Memories, happy and sad, and reflections on where we’ve been and where we’re going.

What does the Torah/Bible have to say about homosexuality (NOT the homosexual person, the ACT of homosexuality!!!)?

Marty explains this, and more in this 25-minute edition of “The Marty Roberts Show”.

And, for those of you who asked–here’s Chapter and Verse: (pretty clear, don’t you think?)

Vayikra (Leviticus) Chapter 18, Verse 22:

There is no passage in the Bible that is clearer than, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” This is a direct commandment prohibiting homosexual unions. This passage clearly associates homosexuality with perversion, including committed, loving same-sex relationships. Any “face-value” reading of the Bible must admit that Leviticus 18:22 prohibits sexual intercourse between men.
