Will the Protests in Iran Bring Down the Regime?

Will the Protests in Iran Bring Down the Regime?The demonstrations in Iran have now entered a third week. How worried are the Iranian authorities? How is this wave of protests different from those in the past? And what needs to happen for the demonstrations to become a revolution and overthrow the regime? In this week’s “Middle East News Hour,” I discussed these issues with Ahmad Obali, founder and director of Gunaz TV, a U.S.-based Azerbaijani satellite television channel that broadcasts into Iran, Europe and the Middle East. An ethnic Azerbaijani, Obali is originally from northern Iran, one of the hubs of the current protests. He fled Iran as a young man after the regime arrested him.

How Lebanon Became a Strategic Threat

How Lebanon Became a Strategic Threat In Episode 17 of the Caroline Glick Mideast News Hour I was back at the Center for Security Policy in Washington. This time, I spoke about Lebanon with my colleague and friend David Wurmser. During the Bush administration, Wurmser, served as senior advisor to the Middle East to then vice president Dick Cheney and was a participant in some of the most important debates about the nature and form of the U.S. strategy for fighting terror following the September 11, 2001 attacks. In our discussion, we focused on Lebanon, working backwards to 2000 understand the implications of last week’s Hezbollah missile strike on Israel. We discussed how two discussed how Lebanon was transformed from the banking capital of the Middle East into a terror state and a template jihadist doctrine against Israel and the US after the 2000 withdrawl. The 2006 war was also a strategic watershed and both Israel and the U.S. drew the wrong lessons from the events of that summer. Failure to understand Lebanon had dire implications on the U.S. war in Iraq and on Israel’s operations vis-a-vis Hezbollah and Hamas. It also stands behind the U.S. failure to contend with Iran.

The Rise of the Israeli Left

The Rise of the Israeli LeftIn Episode 8 of the Caroline Glick Mideast News Hour, co-host Gadi Taub and I talked about the implications of the pending formation of a leftist dominated government in Israel. We discussed the implications of the rise of the Israeli left for Israel’s regional position, for the stability of the Middle East more generally, for the preservation of Israel’s Jewish national character and the power of Israel’s all powerful legal fraternity. We also highlighted what the rise of the Israeli left means for the Biden administration’s efforts to realign U.S. policy in the Middle East towards Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood.

How will we know who won the war?

Maybe one day, we will discover that the impetus for Hamas’s newest onslaught against Israel wasn’t the pending Supreme Court decision about whether or not to respect the property rights of Jewish landlords in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem. Maybe we’ll discover that Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ efforts to deflect Palestinian public opinion away from his decision to cancel the elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council and chairmanship had little to do with Hamas’s missile offensive against Israel or the Arab Israeli pogroms against their Jewish neighbors in cities and on roads throughout the country.

Facing the real cause of the long Arab war

The time has come for Israel to stop giving a pass to Arab Jew hatred. In his book From Ambivalence to Betrayal: The Left, the Jews, and Israel, the late historian Robert Wistrich documented how before, during and after the Nazi period scholars from the political left disregarded and denied the ideological power anti-Semitism held over the Germans and their collaborators. The cause of their blindness was Marxism. Marxism has long been the theoretical prism through which the left sees the world. Marxism is hateful and contemptuous of Judaism because Judaism is fundamentally opposed to the obedient universality Communism demands. Karl Marx and his followers sought to eradicate Judaism through a world Communist revolution that Jews could only join if they first abandoned their national, cultural and religious identities.

The New Palestinian Terror War on Israel has Begun

Caroline Glick PodcastMonday night, the Palestinian and Israeli Arab attacks against Israel Jews that had been escalating in recent days reached the level of all-out war. Arab Israeli attacked Israeli Jews throughout the country. Hamas shot 200 rockets and missiles at southern Israel in 12 hours and then another 137 rockets in a five minute period on Tuesday. Caroline and her co-host discussed the causes of the rising violence and identified two - incitement by Fatah and Hamas and the Biden administration's embrace of the Palestinians' anti-Semitic narrative that blames the Jews for the violence that is perpetrated against them. They discuss the historic and regional contexts of the events now unfolding and what needs to happen for peace to be restored. Caroline even quoted from her book The Israeli Solution.

The Threats American Jewry Refuses to Face

The Threats American Jewry Refuses to FaceAfter being forced by Covid-19 restrictions to celebrate Passover alone last year, like their Israeli brethren, American Jews were by and large able to celebrate the Passover seder with their friends and families this year. And as in Israel, American Jewish families reveled in their deliverance from loneliness on the Jewish festival of deliverance. But even the joy of Passover couldn’t dispel the twin storm clouds rising around the largest Jewish diaspora.

When Cultural Appropriation and Historical Revisionism Are Acts of War

When Cultural Appropriation and Historical Revisionism Are Acts of WarTwo weeks ago, a bus filled with veteran Israeli generals from the Bithonistim, a grassroots national security organization, slowly made its way up the slopes of Mt. Ebal in Northern Samaria to visit a biblical-era site that was severely damaged by a Palestinian Authority contractor in late January. They came to draw the public’s attention to the strategic implications of the war the Palestinians are waging against Jewish history.

Biden Abandons Middle East Peace

The Trump administration was on the verge of securing a peace agreement between Israel and Indonesia in its final weeks in office, according to a former senior Trump administration official involved in the efforts. The official divulged that the negotiations between Israel and the world’s most populous Muslim state were run by then-President Donald Trump’s senior adviser Jared Kushner and Adam Boehler, then-head of the US’s International Development Finance Corporation. Israel was represented by then-Ambassador Ron Dermer and Indonesia by Minister Mohamed Lutfi. To secure peace, Boehler told Bloomberg News last December, the US would be willing to provide Indonesia with an additional “one or two billion dollars” in aid.

A Call for Late Justice for Col. Larry Franklin

A Call for Late Justice for Col. Larry FranklinLast month, in a small town in West Virginia, a 74-year-old husband and his invalid wife were hospitalized for several days after eating rotten food the husband fished out of a dumpster. For the past decade and a half, former Pentagon intelligence analyst and operative Col. (retired) Lawrence (Larry) Franklin and his wife Patricia have lived in utter destitution. During his 35 years of service, Col. Franklin was celebrated as a brilliant, fearless intelligence officer by his colleagues and bosses at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in the U.S. Air Force and in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Now, the aging hero who saved countless U.S. servicemen lives in war zones is a broken man. Col. Franklin subsists on the meager wages he earns from washing dishes, cleaning septic tanks and parking cars, while also taking care of his invalid wife.

The 2020 Election has been Terrible for the Jews

The 2020 Election has been Terrible for the JewsNo matter who ultimately wins the presidential election, the Jews in America are the big losers. As Professor Ruth Wisse of Harvard has long explained, Jews are the bellwether for the health of democracies. Hatred of Jews rises in societies whose democratic institutions and values are in crisis. Jew-hatred is generally low in healthy, working democracies. If we learned nothing else from the election campaign and its aftermath, we learned American democracy is in crisis.

Where America Now Stands

Where America Now StandsOn Wednesday, supporters of President Donald Trump gathered outside ballot counting centers in Arizona and Michigan to demand a clean and honest vote count. An MSNBC reporter in Arizona filmed the protesters in Maricopa Country where 400,000 ballots were being counted. Standing behind the protesters, the reporter tried to paint the crowd as violent and dangerous even as they kneeled in silent prayer for election integrity. It was a hard sell, but other reporters quickly got in on the action and videos appeared throughout the day of reporters describing the swelling crowd chanting “Count the Vote” as violent. There may be an innocent explanation for the obvious misinformation. Perhaps the men and women with the mics simply don’t know the meaning of the word “violent.” After all, for the past seven months, they have been describing riots replete with broken windows, burning tires and looted stores as “peaceful protests.”

Fighting the New Commissars

Fighting the New CommissarsThe time for a reckoning with the social media giants has arrived, and not only in the United States. Earlier this week, Shibbolet Library, a new Israeli book publisher that specializes in conservative authors launched a sales campaign on Facebook. The company invested approximately a hundred thousand shekels ($34,000) on Facebook ads to promote its book sales. Then suddenly, its account was blocked. The campaign was wrecked. The firm’s investment was lost.

Who will deal with Turkey?

Who will deal with Turkey?For the past several months, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has busily dispelled any residual doubts about his hostility toward the U.S. and its allies in NATO and the Middle East. He has accomplished this in multiple ways. Erdogan purchased Russia’s S-400 surface-to-air missile system and, in a swipe at the U.S. and NATO, announced his intention to test the system next week. He threatens and seeks to subvert Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. He has destroyed his nation’s longstanding strategic alliance with Israel.

Democrats and the Politics of Projection

The set-up at the Presidential debate Tuesday night was so predictable that it hurt to watch. Moderator Chris Wallace made no effort to hide where he was going. He noted that President Donald Trump had repeatedly demanded that his opponent, Democratic nominee and former vice president Joe Biden condemn Antifa, the violent leftist group behind much of the ongoing destruction of America’s cities. Wallace failed to note that Biden refused to condemn Antifa and instead claimed, crazily that the organization is “an idea” not a group.
