Wednesday I was featured on IBA's English news magazine Closeup with Leah Zinder.

Here's the entire program.



Thanks to Dave Reaboi from the Center for Security Policy for putting it on YouTube.

Shabbat shalom!

I am downloading your video now Caroline. looking forward to see it. I have a super slow modem. Your comments on the neo-conservatives where they help even those in islamic world that are in fact opposed to US interest. Even Robert Micheal Gates knows that. I already had Yvo Daalder, Hillary Clinton, Ssan Rice months ago in the picture, just two weeks ago Hans van Baalen, Guy & Dirck Verhofstadt, Louis Michel, Daniel Cohn Bendit .. but you helped me to find Hanan Ashrawi ,Garreth Evans, George Soros, Samantha Power (The Responsibility to Protect) ... John Bolton (B. worries that if THIS Qaddafi stays in power, not only will his tyranny worsen, he may return to terrorist activities and start up the nuclear weapons program) ... and Ayaan Hirsi Ali

dear ms. glick ,although I admire your backbone in your endeavor to shed light on Israel's plight in this world, the only way that this is going to end is ugly !!!!! ,the forces of untold evil are unfortunately at the door and only the great"CREATOR'S" hand will save "the true nation of Israel" the jews are only one of the origional 12 and "all" of them are going to suffer for there reliance on mans way of doing things vs. doing it "GODS way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "HE spelled it out in his "instruction" book to mankind the "bible and "we" have chosen to do it otherwise!!! you and your nation are in my prayers daily and hopefully "GOD" will have mercy on us as "HE" imposes "HIS" righteous judgement on mankind!!!!!!! judges 21:25 this is the problem!!!!!!! with all of us!!!

Caroline,

I first heard about it from Arutz7 programs, by Nadia Matar, then read your pieces in Jpost and other places and of course later start enjoying your LATMA and became a big admirer of this program

Thank God we have a voice like you. It is extremely important. And, you right, despite generally being more shifted into left side of political specter, there are still vast majority of Jews and gentiles of older generations around the world who feel the same passion and strong bondage to the State of Israel and to the plight of Jewish people who live there.

No matter how grim the whole situation look like we have to remember that people of Israel pulled the most outstanding victories against their enemies exactly at those dark hour.

Together we will prevail.

I enjoy reading Ms. Glick's blogs, but I feel that persistant interruptions of the interviewer make her arguements less effective.

What a treat to hear someone in Israel nail all the brainwashed simpletons who keep spouting the cursed and failed 2 state agenda with lies,misinformation and stupidity.
The Israeli media always lets these nuts get away with their drivel ,that is until Caroline shows up.
It takes guts to swim against this rather large toxic tide and say no.
I see a growing chorus of others swimming against the suicidal madness of the idiots who lead Israel to ruin for lies starting with the pompous fraud Netanyahu.
It's no surprise the interviewer kept trying 'politely' to cut Caroline off.
She was making such a dent in their sinking ship of fool's that they had little face left to save.
Leah was just trying to save their miserable status of ignorant spokesmouths for Israeli policy of national suicide.

Zinder amazingly channels two of the four questions. In the one who does not know how to ask her thought process lacks capacity to do more than parrot dogma and mouth pre-planned talking points from the teleprompter. In her wickedness and disconnection from the Jewish people she mischievously stays on message with rhetorical questions. Zinder can fill two of four seats at the Seder table.

Glick is the only one on-set forced to actually think and expose this journalistic ambush.

I would like to congratulate Caroline for not strangling Leah Zinder right on the set. Glick was too kind to this amalgam of the two children masquerading as a sophisticated adult.

Glick was also too kind, likely out of misplaced pragmatism of no other immediate options and blind hope toward Netanyahu. Netanyahu could be replaced by any number of much better people or a combination thereof. If she were Jewish, Sarah Palin with the proper advisors would be superior to Netanyahu. At least she knows the difference between right and wrong. Without advisors she would know not to give away a single sliver of our homeland. Check Sarah Honig’s take on Netanyahu and Putin this week. Netanyahu’s behavior on behalf of Israel is seriously wanting if not at times an absolute outrage, and I’d be willing to bet that in private Glick knows it well.

If Netanyahu wants these ladies off his back, he better sit down in private with them and explain himself.

Here’s a test. Give Netanyahu two close advisors, say Glick and Honig. Would Netanyahu listen, or would he forge ahead acting on ego and illusions to the past of younger days when his mind may well have been the brightest and cleverest? I don’t know, but his actions on the ground now certainly disqualify him from being the leader that Israel so desperately needs and deserves.

The solution is that people must become educated about the world around them. Then they can elect leaders who actually have a functioning mind and a clue regarding things like history and the nature of Russia and Islam. If people are educated to the facts, then the answers are more easily determined. I recommend a gateway site to such information called media-quest.com. (Caroline, you can edit that plug for media-quest.com out if you wish)

Hats off to Caroline Glick (and Sarah Honig) for identifying that the Jewish people are the righteous ones and that we are the ones deserving of our homeland in its entirety. I don’t have the wisdom to say how to go about that, but with knowledge of the world around us, I think we can arrive at the answers. And I can think of at least a pair of people who would most certainly be better for Israel than the current version of Bibi.

And with people like Zinder at the table, it will be difficult to conduct a Seder.

Caroline, excellent as always, but it does make me wonder. Are you the only one in Israel who sees things in their proper perspectives? How is it that so called intelligent people don't see that appeasement gets us nowhere, offering land for peace again solves nothing and the Palestinians as well as the entire Arab world want Israel wiped off the face of the earth. Talk is cheap and there's been too much useless babble. Action is what matters now.

Bravo, Caroline! you gave it well to that left wing repoerter! keep up the great work!

Did you catch Melanie Phillips interview at IBA ?
What does it say about Israel's hasbara that I found this at the website of an ex-Palestinian terrorist ?

It's another good example of the pathetic state of Israel's media with the most incompetent and weakest apologists selected to represent Israel where it counts.
All he can do is parrot the failed 2 state solution as the answer.
Melanie tries to give him a dose of reality but it seems delusions and lies are a prerequisite to have an influential job in Israeli media.

Another example of the complete failure of secular Jewish rule.

As you did, Melanie did a superb job of explaining things in black and white.

AGAIN, Where are all the Israeli men who stand boldly and unapologetic for Israel ?
Trying on the latest ladies fashions ?

Caroline,
You are right that Israel has many supporters in the US that would like to help, but haven't been enlisted with something to do. I sense that I should write to my political leaders but I am not sure of the most effective message to send them. Also I would contribute financially, but am not sure what groups would be best to support. I think I am part of a large untapped resource here in the US that could be very helpful.
Thank you for your continued courage.
Patrick

You're a courageous woman, Caroline, to speak out the way that you do in this brainwashed country. To contradict the mainstream media is a risk only few dare take.

Dear Caroline, Thank you for saying what the vast majority of informed Jews want to hear. It is a shame that the lady the station hired to talk... came across as having no interest in what you said and seemed intent on making sure to "cut you off" as soon as you were "telling the truth about the market conditions". Almost seemed she wanted to make herself feel more important and trivialize you and your politically incorrect truth telling...She voted Meretz...or worse...She desperately wanted to make you feel bad; almost like she was listening to some six year olds blabber…

I appreciate what you do and pray for your success...I am not a yes man and plan to continue to write to you when I think I can contribute to your thinking or express a view that I think you may not have considered…

I watched the whole thing and you were as outstanding in person as you are in print! Maybe better because "they" couldn't shut you up in person either!

Netanyahu doesn't know what he missing! Then again, maybe he looks around for Kevlar and ceramic plates every time your name is mentioned...

You were great!

I saw you on TV with Leah Zinder. You were great!
It was interesting to see how Leah tried to airbrush the clear outlines of "the stuation"
you presented for greater palability to certain sections of her regular viewers.
I respect Leah, but I take courage from your analytical skill and uncompromising commonsense.
Also: my compliment for the excellent website you maintain.

This comment is off-topic, but I hope that it may be helpful and beneficial:

A Loving Kind Article by Denis MacEoin

"An Open Letter to Tamar Fogel", by Denis MacEoin; a post on Denis MacEoin's blog A Liberal Defence of Israel

Caroline you were fantastic! I think more of Israel's supporters need to be more aggressive as you were, simply there is nothing to lose.
Best wishes,
Benjamin

Excellent communication in this appearance, Caroline.

We need, from prominent Israeli Jewish people, much more such speech - true, clear, firm, effective, speech.

It's time for those of us who are Jewish to stop acting, unmindfully, immorally, like timid, cowering, traitorously appeasing, slaves.

It's time for those of us who are Jewish to start to act like normal human beings, and to, therein, speak the truth, and to, therein, charge the racist lying Muslim, and Western, attackers of the Jewish people, and to, therein, with right action, stand up for ourselves, and to, thereby, protect ourselves, and, also, thereby, protect the well-being of the whole world.

The first step is for us - those of us who are Jewish - to be mindful, and for us, ourselves, to, therein, as you expressed, become conscious of the reality of the situation - the factual history, and current reality, of the situation.

Caroline,

That was amazing! You should do more, much more of this kind of TV interviewing - especially here in the USA. We need voices like yours.

As my kids would say, "You're awesome!"

Shalom,

Abe Novick
