The Mothers of IDF Soldiers group led a demonstration last week of army mothers, reservists in the Israel Defense Forces, bereaved families and other concerned citizens outside the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. They demanded that President Joe Biden stop leveraging power to force Israel to resupply Hamas. The following day, hundreds of Israelis, including parents of soldiers, families of hostages…
On this week’s episode of “The Caroline Glick Show,” my guest was noted American classicist, military historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson from the Hoover Institute at Stanford. Prof. Hanson and I talked about the state of American politics and culture, and how it will affect the Middle East and Israel. Will the progressive takeover of American educational, political…
A new framework is being negotiated for a hostage release in exchange for the release of Palestinian terrorists, humanitarian aid for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and a temporary ceasefire between the war between Hamas and Israel. Will this mean defeat for the Jewish state and the end of the fighting in Gaza? Can Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu withstand…
Shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion of Israel, its sadistic massacre of 1,200 Israelis and kidnap of 246 men, women and children from southern Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government declared war on Iran’s Palestinian proxy. The government set four war goals: the military eradication of Hamas; the eradication of Hamas’s civilian regime in the Gaza Strip; the…
My guest on the Caroline Glick Show this week is Haim Bernstein, whose son Lt. Col. Yehonatan Tzor served as commander of the Nahal Infantry Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit. Tzor was killed in battle with Hamas terrorists as he made his way to his base along the Gaza border on October 7. Tzor grew up in the community of Yitzhar in…
How do the Jews on the left and right view the atrocities that Hamas terrorists, including Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip, wrought upon Israel on Oct. 7? Is the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust—and the aftermath—a hinge moment in Jewish history? I break it down on In Focus.
The United States and the international community continue to push Israel to create a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip when the war is over, but as I demonstrate on In Focus, the parties involved don’t want it. The Palestinians want to annihilate Israel and Israel wants to continue existing. To get all the details, watch In Focus from January…
Is Israel on the cusp of political upheaval? In recent days, evidence has grown that two key actors—the Biden administration and Israel’s security establishment—are both pushing the country in that direction to advance their longstanding common goal of ousting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the religious-right bloc from power. The Biden administration showed its hand on Tuesday when U.S. Secretary…
The Houthis step up their attacks on shipping on the Red Sea; rather than recognize that Iran is waging war against it, the Biden administration insists on maintaining its appeasement policy and treating Israel as a modern day Czechoslovakia. I explore the historical parallels to Neville Chamberlain and history’s lessons for today on In-Focus.
