Israel Takes it to Iran in Syria

Benjamin Netanyahu’s relationship with Vladimir Putin is unusually complex.

However, within the layers of political and military considerations is, on Putin’s side, a little known personal connection. When Putin was a child he had a grade school teacher who made a huge impression on him. She took an interest in little Putin and encouraged him in positive ways. The teacher was Jewish. Putin never forgot her kindness. In fact, Putin purchased a lovely apartment in Tel Aviv as a gift to his old teacher. Perhaps, just perhaps, this relationship has made the Russian tyrant more receptive to the security needs of the Jewish state.

J.E. Dyer is a retired Naval Intelligence officer who lives in Southern California.

I have been following her work for a while and a few years ago Karen and I attended one of her lectures. She is smart, blessedly undramatic, and extremely knowledgable about military matters and the geopolitics of the Mideast.

Her analysis of the latest Israeli raid into Syria is superb.

Iranian forces in southern Syria launched 20 rockets at Israel in the Golan Heights on the night of 9 May (10 May in Israel). Now Israel appears to have launched a counter operation, whose goal is probably to significantly disable Iranian capabilities in Syria. The scope of the targeting, just in the first few hours, indicates a broad-scale, preemptive interdiction.

Purim: The Deeply Anti-Progressive Jewish Holiday

March 1, 2018 by Robert J. Avrech Leave a Comment

“The Banquet of Esther and Ahasuerus” by Jan Victors, 1640s.

Today is the holiday of Purim.

It is no accident that in 2015, Benjamin Netanyahu referenced Purim when delivering his powerful address to the U.S. Senate in an unsuccessful bid to curb Obama’s legitimization of a nuclear Iran.

Purim is an old ( 5th century B.C.E.) but painfully familiar story: A Jew-hater named Haman hatches a plan to annihilate the Jewish people in the ancient kingdom of Persia.

In a speech that Jews recognize all too well, Haman tells the king, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your realm. Their laws are different from those of every other people’s, and they do not observe the king’s laws; therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them.” (Esther 3:8.)

The king places the fate of the Jews into the hands of Grand Vizier Haman.

Israel Responds to Antiochus Obama and the UN

December 28, 2016 by Robert J. Avrech 6 Comments

“Israel rejects this shameful anti-Israel resolution at the UN and will not abide by its terms. At a time when the Security Council does nothing to stop the slaughter of half a million people in Syria, it disgracefully gangs up on the one true democracy in the Middle East — Israel — and calls the Western Wall ‘occupied territory.’ The Obama administration not only failed to protect Israel against this gang-up at the UN; it colluded with it behind the scenes. Israel looks forward to working with President-elect Trump and with all our friends in Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, to negate the harmful effects of this absurd resolution.”

One of the defining characteristics of Jew-haters is their imperviousness to facts. They are ahistorical, and focus pathologically on Jews as the single great civilizational problem.

The above is precisely why Seraphic Secret has maintained that Barack Obama is a classic leftist Jew-hater. He came into office making war against Israel, the Jewish state, sucking up to the IslamoNazis of Iran and embracing the genocidal Muslim Brotherhood. Even as he is about to leave office, he continues his war against the Jewish people in a devious manner that places him alongside figures in Jewish history such as Amalek, Haman, and Antiochus, who tried — and failed — to destroy the Jewish people.

The Dumb of All Fears: The Bannon Blood Libel

A close friend wrote this blog post for Seraphic Secret. Because the author is Conservative and works with intolerant Progressives, it is being published anonymously in order to protect life, limb and employment.

A host of the usual suspect journalists, liberal activists, and all the same pundits who called this election wrong from the very beginning are now having a collective freakout about President-elect Donald Trump’s appointment of Breitbart News co-founder Steve Bannon as chief strategist and senior counselor. These usual suspects say all Americans, but especially racial minorities and Jews, should be alarmed that a man they believe is a racist quasi-leader of the so-called “alt right” movement has been put into such an influential position. Once again, the usual suspects are wrong. Dead wrong.
