David O. Selznick Pitches a Movie in Israel

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: October 24, 2018

In 1958, producer David O. Selznick had an idea for a Biblical epic. He explained to screenwriter Edward Anhalt, “I want to combine Mary the sister of Lazarus, the adulteress Jesus saved from the stoning, the whore who washed His feet, and the Mary Magdalene who was the first to see Him resurrected, into one […]

Friend Ari Fuld Z’L Murdered by IslamoNazi

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: September 17, 2018

Yesterday, Ari Fuld, 45, beloved husband and father to four children, was murdered by an IslamoNazi. Though stabbed in the back, Ari courageously drew his weapon, pursued his attacker, and managed to shoot and wound the cowardly IslamoNazi before collapsing from his wounds.

Ofra Haza: Israel’s Greatest and Most Tragic Star

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: August 29, 2018

By Jake Novak Scene 1: Munich, Germany July 1983 Music has always been an integral part of the State of Israel. It seems like every year, every war, and every major event in the tiny nation’s history has produced its own special song. That’s one reason why the annual Eurovision song contest has meant so […]

Books On My Night Table

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: August 1, 2018

It’s no secret that the various Israeli secret services are quite effective. Ronen Bergman’s doorstopper of a book, Rise and Kill First: The Inside Story and Secret Operations of Israel’s Assassination Program, concentrates, obviously, on the enemies of the Jewish State who are chosen for assassination. Bergman chronicles the awkward birth pangs of the intelligence […]

How the World Really Views Israel

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: July 18, 2018

This is an unusually upbeat article about Israel and its place in the postmodern world order. Normally, we tend to think of Israel as a country under endless political and diplomatic siege with the Jew-Haters of the BDSM movement circling like vultures. But a closer inspection reveals a more nuanced reality. Israel and the Iroquois […]

New York Daily News Engages in Blood Libel

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 16, 2018

The IslamoNazis who call themselves Palestinians and who live in the IslamoNazi/Palestinian state of Gaza, ruled by Hamas, a terrorists gang, have been organizing violent riots on Israel’s border for the past few weeks. The ostensible purpose of the riots is the march to return. Return meaning to the state of Israel.

Why the U.S. Embassy Move to Jerusalem is a Good Thing for the Civilized World

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 14, 2018

Do you remember how the left told us that anti-Semitism was resurgent in America because of President Trump’s election? Funny how the left always projects its own ideological pathologies on Conservatives.

Israel Takes it to Iran in Syria

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 10, 2018

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 […]

Bring Iran’s Economy to its Knees

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 9, 2018

Will sanctions alone bring down the IslamoNazis of Iran? I doubt it. But it’s worth trying. And then, when sanctions fail, Israel should attack with their extremely capable air force and flatten all Iranian nuclear sites. Remember, Israel eliminated the nuclear programs of Iraq and Syria. Of course, the international community wagged their collective finger […]

Bibi Drops a Bomb on Iranian IslamoNazis

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 1, 2018

I’m not terribly blown away by the revelation that the IslamoNazis in Iran have been lying to the world about their nuclear program. The mullahs in Iran are following the standard Islamic playbook of Taqiyya, which holds that lying to infidels in the name of Islam is perfectly okay. The only people who ever believed […]

U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley at AIPAC

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 6, 2018

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

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 20, 2018

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 problem […]

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

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 5, 2018

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. Presumably, […]

The Murder of Rabbi Raziel Shevach, z’l

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: January 10, 2018

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 the […]

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

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: December 20, 2017

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 this […]

Jerusalem the Eternal Undivided Capital of the Jewish State

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: December 6, 2017

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 peace […]

Vehicle Attacks: What Begins With the Jews

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: November 1, 2017

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 all […]

Seraphic Secret in Israel, 2017

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: October 19, 2017

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.
