I've enjoyed watching Caroline Glick's diminishing prominence on the Jerusalem Post website in recent weeks. (Or am I just seeing what I want to see?) I wonder how long she'll last under the new management that doens't appear to share the neo-conservative views of its predecessor.
In any case, her latest column is more of the same "leftists help terrorists, are bad for Israel blah blah blah" she always writes.
I know this is her bread and butter, her shtick. But she's trapped, unable to think beyond the confines of her own logic that serves her own agenda.
She writes: "For solipsistic leftists, which reign supreme in Israel's media, academia and judiciary, the homogeneity of Palestinian society makes it easy for to ignore the enemy while vainly walking through their distorted halls of mirrors and echo chambers. Their goal is to create a perception of reality in which the Palestinians are all innocent and Israel is always at fault. In recent weeks, their primary target has been the IDF."
While I agree with her claim that some leftists (Gush Shalom, Uri Avnery, and Gideon Levy for example) have the abovementioned goal, Glick is no less guilty of striving for the opposite, but equally distateful end: to crate a perception of reality in which the Palestinians are all terrorists and Israel is always innocent.
Ideologues in the press, on the right and left, have created the "distorted halls of mirrors and echo chambers" of which Glick writes.
She could do us all a favor by looking in the mirror herself, but I doubt she's willing to take that step. Glick's pocketbook - financed by her rabid right-wing American readership - would take quite a hit.
