Most Americans do not realize how critical it is that Israel prevail. Israel is the America of the past. It has become the world's best hope because it remains basically true to it's democratic commitment as America fades. The problem is the Israeli tail is far too small to wag the western world's dog.

Because it is prosperous and successful and because of Bibi's economic leadership it rejected socialism and has blossomed and now is subject to constant attack and rejection from the oligarchs.

Upcoming Webinar
Please consider sponsoring an EMET webinar featuring top experts offering critical insights impacting Israel and U.S. national security. Policymakers and the general public need to hear these voices. Your support is essential for these webinars to continue. Sponsor a webinar here.

On November 1st, Israelis will be heading back to the polls for the fifth time in four years. What are the major issues confronting them? Are the Israeli people voting on existential issues for the Jewish state or economic, social and identity issues? How will their election of a leader reflect on the way Israel will handle the Jewish state’s relationship with the Palestinians and the emerging nuclear danger from Iran?

Here to discuss this and more is the highly acclaimed author and journalist, Caroline Glick.

About the speaker: Caroline Glick is an American-born Israeli journalist, newspaper editor and writer. She is the deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post and writes for Makor Rishon. She is also the Senior Fellow for Middle East Affairs at Center for Security Policy.

Caroline was born in Chicago and made aliyah in 1991. She joined the IDF that summer and served as an officer for more than five years. As an IDF captain from 1994 to 1996, she was coordinator of negotiations with the PLO in the office of the Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.

After leaving the IDF, she worked as the assistant to the director-general of the Israel Antiquities Authority. She then returned to geo-politics serving as assistant foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu from 1997 to1998.

In March 2002, she became deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, Caroline covered the US-led war in Iraq as an embedded journalist with the US Army’s 3rd Infantry Division. Reporting for the Post, Maariv, Israel TV’s Channel 2 and The Chicago Sun Times, she was one of the only female journalists on the front lines with the US forces and the first Israeli journalist to report from liberated Baghdad.

Caroline's writings have been published in numerous newspapers and online journals: in 2004, in addition to her work at the Post, she resumed writing for Makor Rishon as the paper’s lead columnist and commentator. Caroline is the senior fellow for Middle Eastern Affairs at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC and routinely briefs senior administration officials and members of Congress on issues of joint Israeli-American concern.

In 2008, Caroline's first solo book, Shackled Warrior: Israel and the Global Jihad was published by Gefen Publishers. She is also the author of the critically acclaimed book, The Israel Solution, published in 2014. She holds a BA in political science from Columbia University and a Master's in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

I fear, even if Republicans win the mid terms, they could turn out to be a trap. Why?  Because there is very little they will be able to accomplish regarding problems we face. Seriously doubt Republicans will get enough votes to override any Biden/Obama actions etc. Consequently, they could be blamed for inaction when, in fact, there is not much they can accomplish.

Jordan will be in a position to conduct some needed investigations  and he is very effective and will be able to reveal plenty of skullduggery, but here again, I believe voters are tired of meaningless investigations because nothing happens.  Hillary sill not in jail, Durham loses his cases because DC jurors will not send  liberals or radical Democrats to jail and the cases pertain to stale matters that are old and where moss has gathered.

Perhaps I am too cynical but based on past history I see nothing changing.  

Last night, at The Kemp Fundraiser, I met a lot of like minded conservatives and we all seem to agree the nation is going though a painful political period when it is being sucked down by the power of the elite's ability to avoid consequences because the mass media is ever present to protect them from consequences of their actions and they control so much of the mechanisms and Americans are indifferent.

Yes, there finally is a level of push back that has formed but most everyone I spoke with believe it is too late to turn things around. The 24/7 mismatch, I have been espousing, seems to have carried the day.

As the saying goes: "Getting and spending we laid waste our power." The attraction that there really is a free breakfast has taken hold and guides our thinking. Welfare has overwhelmed and now that each American's share of the deficit now runs about a 1/4 of a million, and with interest rates rising the cost escalates at a drowning pace.

To make matters even worse, the military has become infected with CRT nonsense and is turning into a pitiful Gulliver while our youth are being indoctrinated to hate America and to question their own self worth and being. It is incomprehensible how children who can't even read are being taught about sex.

This debauchery is not happenstance.  It is purposeful and orchestrated by radicals whose sole intent is to destroy America because our freedoms threaten their lust for power and control.  Intimidation and being called a racist have proven effective.  Everything now has become racially oriented. 

When I spoke with Mollie Hemingway here at The Landings in February, after she had made a presentation, she disagreed with my pessimistic thoughts and said the tide was turning. I nodded my head and concluded she was as convinced with her thoughts as I am with mine so I told her I hoped she was right and walked away. 

Time will determine, stay tuned.
