Jerusalem Post editor calls for revolution in Israel

Caroline Glick, eloquent deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post, the most popular English language publication in Israel, has gone on record ("Talkin' About a Revolution", August 8) as calling for the overthrow of the leadership of key Israeli institutions.

Last week, she accused the government and military of managing the war in a haphazard and amateurish fashion ("Amateur Hour is Over," August 4). Now, after surveying the failures of the leaders of the government, the IDF and the media in the current crisis, she suggests that the existing order needs to be overturned:

"There is a palpable sense in Israel that we are on the edge of a revolutionary moment. Our national leadership in the government, the IDF and the media has utterly failed us."

"As we stand poised on the edge of an even larger war, the main question that hangs in the balance is what lessons the Israeli people will take from the current fiasco. Will we continue to believe their fictions, or will we find a way to abandon them and move on with leaders who understand that territory is vital, that the jihad is real, that Israel has a right to defensible borders, and that Israel is not to blame for our enemies' hatred?"
