Caroline Glick melts down with European diplomats
By Annie Robbins FOR
The following lecture by Caroline Glick meted out to Danish Ambassador Jesper Vahr at the Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference last Thursday is simultaneously so over the top and so typical of apologists for Israel that it deserves wide attention.
Glick, the deputy managing editor of the Jerusalem Post, is a popular right wing public figure in Israel and abroad. Her fans can’t get enough of her, note the uploader of the video (below) thinks she’s “brilliant” and you can hear audience members cheering her on as she berates Ambassador Vahr in this clip. She got a lot of airtime in The New Yorker last month.
As a longtime Glick-watcher I have developed a deep appreciation for her mobile facial expressions and body language. There’s never any doubt how much disdain she has for her adversaries. Whether it’s a good tactic for dealing with diplomats, though– well, judge for yourself.
After Ambassador Jesper Vahr explains why Europe holds Israel to a different standard than Syria, Palestine or other countries in the Middle East– Israel claims to be a western democracy, it relies on support from the west– Glick squirms in her seat barely able to contain herself. When it’s her turn, she lifts herself off her seat as she launches the first assault:
She strokes the arm of her chair, barely controlling her angst:
I think that this patronizing attitude towards us that we should be happy that you have a separate standard for-for Israel is-is, uh, is really- I’m sorry- is a statement of contempt for our intelligence.
(audience applause)
The chair arm gets a slight reprieve at the sound of applause from the audience (her fans love her) but the rubbing soon intensifies into a deep massage.
“Um-I-ah-I-I-I-I consider it to be an obsession, I consider Europe’s keen interest in the Middle East, specifically Israel, to be an obsession and it’s an obsession that Jews have seen from Europeans from the time of Jesus, and ah, and we know what it is.
So it’s European anti-Semitism driving the criticism of the occupation! Now Glick’s face takes on a grave expression, lest one risk appearing not to take European history seriously:
Then flipping her hand back and forth, she dismisses any illusion of a “common, common culture” between Europe and Israel, before launching into her own take on international law. Israel respects international law whereas Europe “makes it up”. How? Well, rebuilding Gaza after last summer’s slaughter is against international law and tantamount to supporting terrorism.
And there is a binding UN resolution, chapter 7 from 2001 — 1373, that bars every single UN member nation from funding or otherwise supporting in any way terrorist organizations, and you guys you’re funneling billions of Euros into rebuilding terrorist controlled Gaza.
(loud applause)
This is in contravention of binding international law that you signed on to.
This diatribe, during a conference for diplomats no less, has been lauded in the press by fans of Israel. Numerous sites have shown the video with nothing but praise for Glick as she snarls, berates, whines and otherwise “rips him [Vahr] apart.” This is typical Glick, There’s nothing unique about her delivery that day. This is a face of Israel that clearly many people are proud of. And a voice put forward at important conferences.
See the fixed downward glance, the hardened jawline, above?
What follow are screenshots of her amazingly mobile face just seconds apart as Glick discusses sanctions against the illegal settlement expansion, or in her words “there’s imaginary international law, imaginary international law that says you are required to, required to sanction Jewish projects from Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria”:
She reaches her high C: “There is no such binding law. You guys are funding settlements in Western Sahara. You’re funding them directly.”
It is interesting that this kind of performance has now become a mainstay of Israel’s international diplomacy: the accusatory whine.
Now comes her diagnosis of Europe’s antisemitism as a form of obsessive compulsive disorder:
So this is not a double standard, this is a singular standard for Israel. It’s not about international law, it’s about an obsessive compulsive need to constantly pick at the Jewish state. And no I don’t want to be proud that you’re looking at us in a different standard from our neighbors because you’re not looking at them as human beings. What you’re saying is they are objects.
Is there any awareness on her part that the U.S. and Europe have let Israel slide on the settlements and occupation for nearly 50 years. Are we to keep shoveling money at the Israelis and shut up?
Now here comes the big reveal. It’s Israel that actually cares about the lives of Palestinians.
The only actor in this entire region, is the people they are trying to annihilate. And the only people who are supposed to be judged by our actions, and always poorly, are the people who are doing everything possible, more than Europe – right – more than the United States more than anybody in order to protect the lives of the Palestinians.
So with all due respect, and I would love it if I could have more respect for Europe, but your treatment of Israel, your singular standard, your obsessive compulsive need to constantly pick..
If I had a dollar for every screen shot I’ve taken of Glick’s arias– I mean speeches– over the years, I could take my sisters out to a fancy diner, or two. I just trashed a whole file of them a couple weeks ago, wondering what on earth I would ever do with them. But I can’t help it, I am back to my old habits.
These screen shots are taken from video shot at the Europe-Israel panel during the Jerusalem Post Diplomatic Conference in Jerusalem last Thursday.

Hmmm
A brilliant example of essence of 1984 being acted in in 2014. Up is down, high is low, and in the case of Israel wrong is right and screw everybody else. When viewed in total this video does tremendous damage to the credibility of Israel’s position on just about everything. This women’s arrogance and contempt so blinds, her that she doesn’t realize just how fallacious her argument truly are.
For example: She claims that Israel is only obeying international law by denying Palestinians the ability to rebuild Gaza because to do so would be aiding terrorism. The problem with that of course is;
Out of the roughly 1.8 Million inhabitants Israel has publicly admitted that at most only 15,000 are actually Hamas Freedom fighters. Over half the entire population are children under the age of 15. Another 25 percent of Gaza is made up of women and old men. These are the “terrorists” this witch is alluding to.
Killing innocent women, children and old men are crimes. Israel’s actions in Gaza was never about defense. it is about war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and Apartheid. All with the ultimate goal of removing the indigenous Palestinian population permanently from their legal and rightful place in Palestine. And in their stead put newly immigrated Jews.
Not to put to fine an edge on it; if anyone is aiding and abetting terrorists it is Glick. This women is certifiable.

This is my first exposure to Glick. My impression is that she has been thoroughly brainwashed. What else can be said about someone so mixed up about the facts? Her comment about Israel being the only one to protect Palestinians when Israel killed thousands just this year…oy vey!

Rebuilding Gaza is illegal because it would be aiding terrorism? WTF!?! Israel itself is the NUMBER ONE TERRORIST STATE in the region, and it FUNDS, ARMS, and TRAINS the fighters belonging to ISIS, as all well-informed people already know. We have photos of Netanyahu visiting wounded ISIS fighters in a hospital on the Golan Heights! The head of ISIS is a goddamned Mossad operative! Over the last several years, Israel has been responsible for the unleashing of terrorism against Syria, where their beloved terror group ISIS is responsible for the brutal massacres and rapes of hundreds of thousands of Syriac Christians and the destruction of hundreds of historical Christian sites dating back over 2,000 years. Murdering the Semitic peoples of the Middle East is what these Khazarian fake-Semites and fake-Jews do best. Collectively, they are a severely mentally ill people. What to speak of the nine other major terrorist attacks launched against the U.S., just for 9-11 alone the U.S. military should just nuke the cities of Israel into complete oblivion. Caroline Glick is the ugly poster child for why moral and intelligent, civilized people around the globe hate Israel and despise the deluded arrogance of the average Israeli. And on a finer point, there actually is no such thing as an “Israeli,” because the country was illegitimately founded and stolen from its indigenous inhabitants. All we really have are a bunch of deluded European colonizers living in Palestine who think that they are “Israelis,” and who believe they were specially “chosen” by an imaginary war god/weather god from the Iron Age imaginations of a tribal people to whom no “Israeli” has any biological relation.

So the Israeli jets and PT boats that killed and maimed US sailors aboard on the USS Liberty, in international waters, was upholding the highest traditions of her state? What a joke this woman is. She all but calls all non-Jewish Europeans antisemitic. Vile generalized character assassination of many well being non-Jews. If a non-Jew made these type generalizations about Jews they would forever be cast into the same purgatory as Mel Gibson. Has she ever visited the allied burial grounds where acre on acre of crosses stand as the ultimate commitment of Christians to get rid of the Nazis and their persecution of her people. This was revealing.

Thank you Heir Glick for the reminder that as a taxpaying American I need to work harder to see that the Congress of my country starts to follow the law. The law that I will push for them to enforce and follow is the Symington act. You have made it clear that America should start following the laws and by golly we should press our congress to begin today.

This is how you behave when you are defending the indefensible.
Very sad. And because she is a woman the men are at a distinct disadvantage.
Thank you for this useful analysis.
Americans – you really are the ones who can change this scenario.
Please, please do!!

she has the typical attitude of these Israelites to use Americans for their own benefit and they hate us! When we go down they will be the first to DeCamp because we won’t be useful anymore. Don’t fund Israel anymore….call your congressmen and tell them we need to mind our own business and take care of the problems here at home and STOP all funding to Israel: 202-224-3121…Call NOW!!!

There’s another one just like this one: Debbie Schlussel and you can read all about her virulent rascism on her blog too….these two show us WHY THE US SHOULD QUIT FUNDING ISRAEL RASCISTS…BTW the Isis are formerly al Qaeda and O’Bama’s friends in the middle east and hired mercenaries for a coup against Assad….Wake UP!!! People like this one and Debbie Schlussel care not about human rights but they are malignant narcissists, sociopaths who in a high enough position would be mass killers by proxy….God help us all!
