Psalm 83 in Real Time: From the Church of Rome to the Islamic Republic
'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance'
Dear friends,
This week’s must-read: “Psalm 83 in Real Time: From the Church of Rome to the Islamic Republic.”
In a groundbreaking piece, Jewish Home News unpacks David Moshe ben Avraham’s five-essay series and shows how the “crafty counsel” of Psalm 83 is alive in modern history — from Western intelligence facilitation of Islamist movements to the theological blind spots that still shape policy today.
Yet the article doesn’t leave us in darkness. It returns us to the unbreakable covenant of the Tanakh — the one claim no UN resolution or international court can revoke.
Share it widely. In a time of confusion, clarity is a mitzvah.
With blessings for clarity and strength,

In the days of Asaph the Seer, the nations formed a confederacy — Edom, Ishmaelites, Moab, Ammon, Amalek, Philistines, Tyre, and the children of Lot backed by Assyria — and plotted with one mind against the G-d of Israel and against His people.
Their goal was not mere defeat, but erasure: the complete removal of Israel’s name from the earth.
That ancient “crafty counsel” (Psalm 83:3) did not end in the days of ancient Israel. A remarkable series of five essays by David Moshe ben Avraham, published this month, demonstrates with exhaustive historical documentation and scriptural precision that the same coalition spirit operates today — through Western intelligence services, imported Islamist ideology, and the theological architectures of both Christian and Islamic supersessionism.
However, as the series notes, this “crafty counsel” is often more subtle than a smoke-filled room of conspirators. It is better understood as institutional muscle memory — the inherited reflexes of bureaucracies and civilizations built on the premise that the Jewish story was finished.
The essays — The Theology That Lost Its Timeline, The Guardian Who Contradicts His Own Book, The Cairo–Qom Pipeline, The Handlers and the Handled, and The Blindness of the Secular State — document a world where the delegitimization of Jewish sovereignty has become the legacy code of Western and Islamic institutions alike.
The Handlers and the Handled: Legacy Code in the Bureaucracy
The series lays bare a pattern that defies conventional history. From the Suez Canal Zone in the 1930s, British intelligence cultivated ties with the fledgling Muslim Brotherhood — even as the group sent delegations to Nazi rallies and distributed Mein Kampf and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
After World War II the pivot was seamless: the CIA adopted Brotherhood networks, with Said Ramadan meeting President Eisenhower in the Oval Office in 1953. French authorities hosted Ayatollah Khomeini in a Paris suburb in 1978–79, allowing him to broadcast the Iranian Revolution via cassette tapes and global media. In 1982 the Reagan administration intervened to extract Yasser Arafat and 14,000 PLO fighters from Beirut under multinational protection. And in the Iran-Contra affair, the United States and Israel secretly sold weapons to the Islamic Republic — a designated terrorist state — while publicly denouncing it.
These were not isolated miscalculations. Western powers repeatedly used Islamist networks as proxies against Nazis, Soviets, and Arab nationalists. Within the inherited framework of Western institutions, an indigenous sovereign Jewish state registers as a destabilizing anomaly while Arab proxy networks feel like a natural, manageable part of the landscape. The result is a functional confederacy that Psalm 83 would recognize instantly.
The Blindness of the Secular State: Toward Civilizational Continuity
A central insight of the series is Israel’s reliance on international law — the Balfour Declaration, San Remo Conference, League of Nations Mandate, and UN Resolution 181 — for its legitimacy. The author argues that seeking approval from institutions whose deepest logic requires Jewish non-existence is a strategic surrender.
Yet a secular democratic state cannot simply pivot to the Tanakh without being dismissed as theocratic. The series points toward a smarter path: a “Civilizational Continuity” framework — intellectual judo that leverages the adversary’s own scriptures.
A recommended diplomatic talking point for Israeli spokesmen:
