U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley at AIPAC

Tweet Haley is smart, tenacious, articulate, Conservative, a tireless defender of Israel who stands up to the Jew-Haters in the U.N. She would be a spectacular POTUS.

Mass Shootings: What America Can Learn From Israel

Tweet The after-shooting ritual is in full bloom. One side screams at the other—and no one hears anything. Before getting to the article about Israel and the value of the armed citizen, I want to point out that asking the government to solve the problem of mass shootings is both impractical and dangerously utopian. The […]

Facebook Disappears Israel As “Country” Option, Includes IslamoNazi Non-Country ‘Palestine’…

Tweet Karen and I are proud that our cousin, Assemblyman Dov Hikind (he has a D after his name, but in fact he’s a solid Conservative) stands up to Jew-hatred and Jew-Haters at every opportunity. Dov is now calling attention to the fact that Facebook has decided that the Jewish State does not exist. […]

President Trump’s SOTU: Americans Are Dreamers Too

Tweet In spite of the fact that the speech was too long (any speech that runs longer than 7 minutes is too long) I loved President Trump’s SOTU. It was filled with a love of America, pride in our military, respect for our flag, and an almost mystical vision of the American people and their […]

IslamoNazi Abbas Digs His Own Grave

Tweet Dr. Mordechai Kedar, who knows more about the Arab-Muslim world than most Arab-Muslims, explains the two-and-a half-hour rant delivered by Mahmoud Abbas. World leaders seemed shocked, just shocked by the sheer looniness and Castro-like length of the Abbas rant. But these overbred, overeducated members of the diplomatic corps have conveniently ignored Abbas’ infamous history: […]

Protests in Iran Undermine a Key Premise of the Nuclear Deal

Tweet I’m pretty sure that most of us agree that a nuclear North Korea is a global threat. Four American administrations and the best and the brightest in the State Department have misread and mishandled the North Koreans at every step. Instead of accepting the obvious fact that some cultures do not share the same […]

The Murder of Rabbi Raziel Shevach, z’l

Tweet Rabbi Raziel Shevach was murdered by IslamoNazis on Tuesday night in the land of Israel. The 35 year old father of six was driving on a highway when his car was sprayed with bullets. The Arab Muslims who call themselves Palestinians—a faux nationality dreamed up by the KGB during the Cold War—are publicly celebrating […]

Why the International Community Should Follow Trump’s Lead on Jerusalem

Tweet President Trump has fulfilled a promise that, frankly, I did not believe he would keep. But by recognizing Israel’s capital as Israel’s capital he has proven himself a friend of Israel and the Jewish people in a manner that is unique among American presidents. It would be interesting to discover how Trump arrived at […]

Chanukah 2017: The Battle of the Maccabees Continues

Tweet Today is the first day of Chanukah. And here is a timeless message from Simon the Maccabee: “We have not taken a foreign land, nor did we take the property of others — for this is the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies. But we, having the […]

Fire Bombing Jewish Children In Sweden

Tweet Like a California fire, Islamism is devouring Europe at a rapid and unchecked pace. French Jews are leaving by the hundreds, soon to be thousands. When walking the streets of Jerusalem I hear more and more French speakers. Jews of England also see the writing on the wall. And the Jews of Sweden, just […]

Jerusalem the Eternal Undivided Capital of the Jewish State

Tweet There is a great deal of hand wringing now that President Trump is officially recognizing reality: that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, and that the U.S. embassy will move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The Jew-hating Arabs warn that this recognition will cause violence. The gutless EU warns that this move will derail the so-called […]

An Arab Muslim in the Israeli Army

Tweet Why would an Arab Muslim serve in the Israeli military? Because he, like many Israeli Arabs, proudly defend the nation that has given them freedom and opportunity. Mohammad Kabiya, Israeli Air Force reservist, shares his remarkable story.

Hidden Hollywood: Seven Obscure Jewish Films

Tweet What’s a Jewish film? My definition is quite simple. It is a film that deals with Jewish subject matter. Thus, Woody Allen does not make Jewish films. In truth, Hollywood movies that do deal with Judaism are quite rare. Take a look at the subject headings in Netflix. There is no category for Jewish […]

Vehicle Attacks: What Begins With the Jews

Tweet On 14 February 2001, an IslamoNazi from Gaza drove a bus into a group of Israeli soldiers who stood at a bus stop at the Azor junction, killing 8 people and injuring 26 others. This was the first case of a vehicle being used by IslamoNazis as a tool of terrorism. The world yawned because after […]

Jews With and Without Guns

Tweet When Karen and I were in Israel we were comforted by the presence everywhere of Jews with guns. Karen’s brother David, an accomplished lawyer, Rabbi and businessman, carries his Glock nearly everywhere. David is a good man. Thus, he is a good man with a gun. The reason he carries a gun—and is licensed […]

Seraphic Secret in Israel, 2017

Tweet Karen and I spent the last days of Succos in Israel. Mostly we stayed in Efrat with Karen’s brother David and his lovely family. But we did manage to spend one day in Jerusalem where we headed straight to the holy Kotel, the Western Wall, the remnants of the Second Temple.

About Me
Robert J. Avrech
Los Angeles, California
I'm an Emmy Award winning screenwriter. I'm also an observant Jew, a religious Zionist, a conservative Republican, and a member of the NRA. I've been writing and producing in Hollywood for over twenty-five years. But the focus of my life is my family: my radiant wife, Karen—with whom I have been in love with since I was nine years-old—and my two daughters, who, thankfully, look like Karen. Not too long ago, we had three children. But our son, Ariel, died at the age of twenty-two from cancer. We miss him terribly. We think about him practically every minute of every day. People tell us that time heals, but Karen and I know this is not true. Time grinds away doing its terrible work. Ariel is gone. Yet absence becomes presence.

Ariel Chaim Avrech, ZT'L, May His Righteous Memory be a Blessing.
