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 […]

Movies as Political Propaganda: The Battle of Algiers, Part I

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: September 28, 2016

Movies are the most powerful tools of social and political propaganda the world has ever known. Consider: America wins wars only when Hollywood supports the conflict and puts itself squarely behind America’s war effort. During World War II, every studio in Hollywood backed the Allied effort against the Axis. Hollywood stars enlisted for active duty, […]

Friday Photos: ObamaNet Edition

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 27, 2015

Few noticed that a significant erosion of liberty took place this week in a room in Washington where three Democrat party commissars voted to classify the internet as a public utility. This means that over the next few years, slowly, almost imperceptibly, the federal government will levy increasingly heavy taxes on the internet. In ways […]

Israel Independence Day 2014

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: May 6, 2014

The modern state of Israel celebrates its 66th anniversary today. What are we feeling? There is joy and there is hope. But there is also an inescapable feeling of dread. Israel has not known a moment without war, without the threat of genocide by Arab Nationalists, Arab Socialists, and IslamoNazis. It is worth remembering that […]

Killer Kabuki or Why Is Israel Releasing 104 IslamoNazis?

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: July 30, 2013

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 third […]

Obama’s in Israel, But Keep Your Eye on King Abdullah of Jordan

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 20, 2013

Seraphic Secret is not going to spend a great deal of time of Obama’s visit to Israel. It is Kabuki theater. Israel is focused on domestic issues. The so-called Palestinians are a pathologically sick culture steeped in Jew-hatred and victimhood. Most Israelis have correctly given up on this demented society. In foreign affairs, Iran is […]

Operation Pillar of Defense, Day Eight: Hey, Let’s Talk About That Massacre in Gaza

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: November 21, 2012

A few years ago, I was approached by an independent producer who wanted to hire me to write a script. In truth, the producer was an amateur, someone with no credits. But he had lots of enthusiasm and claimed to have money in place to develop a script. I sat down for lunch with the […]

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.
