Hasmonean Past Is Present

Tweet As the Demorats and their ObamaCare law grinds millions of Americans into misery, we who love this republic, are deeply worried about its future. Simultaneously, Obama betrays Israel at every step, enabling the IslamoNazis of Iran to achieve their nuclear goal. Thus, Israelis, and those who love Zion, are also worried about the future. […]

Judah Maccabee Wants You to Man-Up

Tweet Before Judah the Maccabee and his pitifully small band of 3,000 men went to battle against the great armies of the Selecuid empire, Judah assembeled his troops and gave them a rousing speech. This excerpt, from the Book of Maccabees, gives you an idea of the noble and pious rhetoric Judah used to inspire his […]

Obama Plays Knock Out The Jew

Tweet For the past several months, roving bands of black thugs have been assaulting Jews by punching them in the face. It’s called Knock Out the Jew. It’s a game. Presumably, the moron who knocks out the most Jews is the winner. Most of the assaults have taken place in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, which is […]

Muslims Fly Nazi Flag in Israel

Tweet To liberals, progressives, peaceniks, social justice activists — whatever you’re calling yourselves this week: please don’t write and tell me that not all Muslims are Nazis, that you, personally, know some very civilized, moderate Muslims. Those unicorn Muslims are irrelevant. That Nazi flag flying proudly in an Arab settlement inside Israel is the true […]

“Like Dreamers” Yossi Klein Halevi’s Masterful Book About The Soul of Modern Israel

Tweet There was a time when Seraphic Secret was afraid of Yossi Klein Halevi. Flashback: High School. The mid-sixties. Brooklyn Talmudical Academy. Seraphic Secret was a less than enthusiastic student who was forever cutting classes in order to go to the movies and acquire the education I really wanted. Yossi Klein Halevi was one […]

The Shadow Iranian Commander

Tweet Currently, the American media is focused on the partial Obama government shutdown, and Obamacare. Look, the government shuts down every weekend and the world does not come to an end. Obamacare is a disaster, and it will continue to degrade medical care in America—except for the elites who have exempted themselves from this infamous […]

The IDF Units Who Will Play Key Role In Future Iran Strike

Tweet The only positive outcome of Obama’s disastrous handling of the Syrian portfolio is a new and unshakable confirmation in Israel — as well as in Great Britain, Japan, Poland, Honduras and Mexico — that Obama is a deeply unreliable ally. As Iran’s charm offensive moves forward, it has become clear that Obama is desperate for any […]

Yom Kippur, 2013

Tweet …In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and you shall not do any work … For on that day he shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins before the L-RD. —Leviticus 16:29-30

12 Years After 9-11

Tweet Twelve years after the American homeland was attacked by Muslim terrorists, Iran, the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, is sending entire battalions to Syria to prop up Assad’s regime. Twelve years after 9/11, Barack Obama’s reset button with Russia has finally yielded what the radical left in America has always wanted: a diminution of […]

Israel’s Secret Doctors In Syria

Tweet Obama is clueless. His red line reminds me of the chalk marks my children used to inscribe in the sidewalk in front of Casa Avrech. After a few days, sunlight and water from the sprinklers faded the lines into nothingness. Now, Obama seeks to save credibility by going to Congress, by begging our allies […]

Syria, Poison Gas, Israel, America, and Awesome Obama Guppiness

Tweet The United States is in a difficult position. We understand that intervention in the Arab Muslim world is a thankless task that inevitably leads to further hatred of America and fixes absolutely nothing. Nothing can be fixed in the Arab Muslim world because the countries there have no sense of personal responsibility. The sectarian […]

Among IslamoNazis to Be Released: Murderer of Holocaust Survivor

Tweet According to the Israeli government, releasing IslamoNazi Jew-killers is a “confidence-building measure” that will bring the genocidal-yearning Arabs back to so-called peace negotiations. A little clarity: Releasing jihadist Jew-killers excuses and rewards Jew-killers. It tells the world that the lives of Jews are unimportant. It encourages the future murder of Jews in Israel and […]

Killer Kabuki or Why Is Israel Releasing 104 IslamoNazis?

Tweet Kabuki. Highly ritualized theater of dance and drama distinguished by elaborate makeup that transforms human characters into demons. The performances play for hours, even for days. Ritual suicide is the hallmark of kabuki’s third act. Israel is, once again, being forced to perform kabuki. FADE IN: Montage: Wide Angle Shot#1: Syria is in the […]

Little Girls on PA TV: Jews are Barbaric Monkeys, Wretched Pigs…

Tweet Egypt is burning. As of last Sunday approximately 90 women have been raped in Tahrir Square by supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, and their opponents. Don’t look for good guys in this bottle of scorpions. Over fifty people have been murdered. Civil war is on the horizon. Syria burns. Their civil war has been […]

Israel Makes a Free-Market Move

Tweet Over the years, Seraphic Secret has made many friends through cyberspace. One of the earliest readers and commenters at this blog was Jake Novak, an intellectually curious and honest liberal. Convinced over time by our Conservative arguments, he has evolved into a passionate and articulate spokesman for Conservative values. Now an executive producer of […]

Another Day, Another IslamoNazi, Plus Flashback to the Jews Eisenhower and Roosevelt

Tweet Well, at least the so-called Palestinians, are openly declaring their ideology and genocidal intentions. Leftists, along with their Islamist buddies, rely on a well-rehearsed fiction—AKA lie—in order to excuse the Jew-hatred that is endemic in the Muslim world. They tell us that it’s not really Jew-hatred at work, rather, political opposition to “rascist, colonial […]

Israel, Iran, Hizbullah, Syria… America Not So Much

Tweet Syria’s civil war is a standard Arab Muslim blood feud, pitting various clans and tribes against each other in ever-shifting, ever-widening, and ever-confusing configurations. Arab Muslim blood feuds are like Rube Goldberg devices, only drenched in blood, with a single audio loop of “Allahu Akbar.” Sunni, Shia and Alawite commit atrocities on a daily […]

Boston: The Jewish Settlement

Tweet When Muslim terrorists attack Israel, we are told that these acts are in response to “Jewish settlements.” Credulous Western liberals swallow this fictional justification, piously damning the Jewish state for “stealing Arab land.” The truth is Arab Muslim terrorism against the Jewish state has never been about national boundaries, or about so-called settlements. Unless, […]

Palestinians Dancing In The Streets Of Gaza After Boston Massacre, Hamas And Islamic Jihad Hand Out Sweets

Tweet In yesterday’s post, Seraphic Secret argued that Israel and America’s shared values make us allies in the war against Islamism. Of course, its immediate corollary follows: the so-called Palestinians—a reichlet founded on lies in order to justify and glorify genocidal Jew-hatred—are not only Israel’s enemy, but the mortal enemies of America. And yet, Barack […]

Boston Marathon Blasts: Doctor Credits Israelis With Helping Set Up Disaster Team

Tweet Yesterday, Seraphic Secret noted that Israel’s Yom Hazikaron, Day of Remembrance, in which two minutes of silence prevail across the country in memory of those who have fallen in defense of the Jewish state, is, in fact, not just about the past, but the present and the future. The enemies of Israel are the […]

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.
