In light of the reactions from Washington to the Hamas and Fatah inspired Arab violence in Jerusalem, it is hard to see how Israel will be able to maintain a constructive dialogue about its relations with the Palestinians with the Biden administration or more broadly, with the Democrat Party. Indeed, the reactions coming out of Washington to the Arab violence…

In this week’s episode of the Caroline Glick Mideast News Hour, my co-host Gadi Taub and I devoted the hour to analyzing Israel’s political crisis, the prospects for a rightist government, (not great), for a leftist government (fairly high), and the strategic context in which opportunistic politicians — first and foremost, my former colleagues Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked —…

Since the Democrats took control of the White House and both Houses of Congress a hundred days ago, the Middle East has become a powder keg. But Israel’s ruling class sees nothing. In Afghanistan and Iraq, violent attacks against U.S. forces are rising steeply. From January through April, attacks on U.S. forces increased 40%. President Joe Biden’s announcement that the…

The US media is treating the leaked recordings of Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif’s conversations with a journalist allied with President Hassan Rouhani as a major scoop. The recordings were allegedly set for release after Rouhani leaves office following this summer’s presidential elections. While there is good reason to doubt their authenticity, assuming the recordings are authentic, Zarif told his…

In a viciously anti-Israel speech last week, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claimed that when discussing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, “the elephant in the room,” is “America’s military assistance to Israel.” Warren proceeded to call for Israel to be banned from using U.S. military aid in Judea and Samaria. The dictionary definition of the term “elephant in the room” is “an important or enormous topic, question or controversial issue that is…

Just a few years ago, Senator Elizabeth Warren was a bit of joke. With her views placing her at the leftist edge of the political spectrum, Warren was viewed as a marginal figure in national politics. She was known most widely for a cynical fraud she committed in her academic days. A white Protestant from Boston, Warren claimed to be…

On today’s show, my co-host Gadi Taub and I discussed Israel’s political morass as Netanyahu’s foes on the right are joining with his foes on the left in a bid to oust him from power. We then moved on to a major American voice — Senator Elizabeth Warren — who this week became joined the calls to oust Netanyahu in…

Dear Naftali, Maybe you remember the conversation we had back in November 2018 when we were waiting for our flight home from New York. I was coming back from a lecture tour. You were coming back from a trip to Pittsburgh. In the aftermath of the massacre of American Jews as the Tree of Life Synagogue, as Minister of Education…

Taken at face value, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield’s condemnation of the United States in a speech last week before Al Sharpton’s National Action Network was one of the most bizarre statements made by a diplomat—from the U.S. or, indeed, from anywhere—in recent years. In her remarks, Thomas-Greenfield castigated the U.S. as inherently, irredeemably evil. “I have seen…
