1. She is a gem.

   Buy her book: “The Israeli Solution – A One State Plan for Peace in the Middle East”.

   It puts to rest the Obama/Kerry/Clinton/Jarrett/PLO/Hamas/UN/EU nonsense of a two state solution forever.

2. GoV, you really need to do something about the crappy, broken Youtube links on the site. Do you even check them after posting? The guest-interview with the Israeli instead goes to a Marine corp recruitment video, and the one about the Maldives goes to a dead link. — And these are less than a day old entries.

   • I beg your pardon, but our YouTube links are neither “crappy” nor “broken”. I’ve seen the problem you describe, and it is a browser flaw. Not all browsers have it, but I can’t remember which one(s) might be at issue. I don’t think it’s IE; it might be Chrome. Or maybe Firefox.

     Anyway, the embed itself is exactly correct, and displays the right video for me and for 99% of people who play it. But for some unknown reason, certain versions of certain browsers display the wrong video, presumably one that is held in the cache of the computer being used.

     There is nothing wrong with this embed. The flaw, as I said, is in browser software, perhaps in the Flash player that is utilized to play most videos.

     Possible solution: clear your internet cache, then restart your browser.

     • It worked just fine for me just now – I’m using the ‘Internet’ browser on an Android tablet.

       I remember reading Caroline’s first book, and in one of her essays she commented that WWII didn’t break out because of nationalism or militarism, but because Germany had embraced evil.

       Baron, you will recall the passage from Laurence Rees’ book on the Nazis where he describes how the Gestapo relied on ‘ordinary people’ to inform on their neighbours. The notion that the secret police was all-powerful and had agents on every corner is not correct. The people themselves went along with the Nazi enterprise. I always put this together with Caroline’s comment whenever I re-read some of my old books.

       Then again, you had people like Hans and Sophie Scholl. And nowadays you have people like Caroline Glick. So there’s hope for us yet.

       • As I’ve said repeatedly, Satan is loose in the world. That conclusion seemed inescapable after I watched the first Islamic State snuff video.

         No sociological or economic explanation is adequate. I don’t know how atheists or secular people make sense of it, but the only way I can get my head around it is to view it as demonic.

         • Well, for me it was visiting the Holocaust Exhibition at the IWM in London.

           That was the fulcrum of my whole intellectual life.

           No other explanation is adequate, as you say.

     • Baron, recently I’ve been redirected to advertising when I click through to the comments section. It doesn’t happen everytime but it has occurred half a dozen times in the last few days. I seem to recall you mentioning that you were considering accepting advertising of some sort. Are you doing some kind of a trial run? I have to completely reload the site to be able to get to comments so it’s somewhat inconvenient when it occurs.

       • No, there’s no advertising here. What you see is probably a malware/adware addon to your browser that you’ve been infected with. They’re fairly common; one of Dymphna’s machines was recently infected (using Chrome).

         Without getting into technical details, it’s very unlikely that what you are seeing originates at Gates of Vienna. If it’s not your own machine, then maybe it’s your ISP.

         • Given that it’s happening using Safari on an iPad I doubt it’s malware/adware, however, a cleansing of the cache certainly won’t hurt. Thank you for the feedback.

     • Whatever’s causing it, this is the only site I’m having this particular embedded Youtube problem with.

       So, huh.

3. No offense to Caroline, but we both know that part of the problem is that Israeli elites, media, educational, and political, validate the narrative that Muslims have rights to the land of Eretz Israel. One can’t be more Catholic than the Pope or more Jewish than the Israeli PM.

   Why Israeli elites do this is interesting to consider. But that requires more than a comment on a blog.

   • It would require a multi-volume series. I vote for Fred Siegel as author.

   • Much of Israeli government policy is bought and paid for by US taxpayers and comes at a cost, currently that cost is malignant and emanates from the neo-muslim in the White Outhouse.

     The burden of being the gatekeeper for Europe against the Muslim hoards is not cheap and is more than one very small nation can withstand, hence the compromises.

     Bibi has to walk a very fraught tightrope, with the OIC/UN, The EU, The Pope and BHO trying their best to push him off, and replace him with a traitor. But we are grateful for the continuing support from the Americas, and it is a shame that Canada voted in a BHO clone.

4. “There is nothing wrong with this embed”..Absolutely right Baron..From Canada (Montreal)..

5. Those Jewish elites have their equivalent in Europe who promote the narrative that Muslims have a right to European land. And since both groups have arrived at their positions of power by riding on the back of the egalitarian-globalisation world view it is perhaps understandable that they argue thus – anything else would be inconsistent with their stance.

   I don’t go with this ‘European guilt’ for the holocaust. I understand the holocaust is important to Jews but Ms Glick talks as though it should be as important to Europeans as it is to Jews. This can’t be right. I support unconditionally the right of Jews to act in the interest of Jews in Israel but as a European I am more concerned about the welfare of Europeans in Europe – why should I not be? I don t feel any guilt for the holocaust – the guilty people are all dead aren’t they? What other people feels guilty for crimes committed by their forebears?

   • The Holocaust included many millions of non-Jewish Europeans as well, it was also the Nazi intention to eradicate the Slavic races, but it was not such a high priority. Many Poles particularly, were worked to death in labour camps across Europe, are they not Europeans?

     Nobody should feel ‘guilt’ for the Holocaust because nobody of this generation is responsible, but there is an object lesson here which is being ignored, and which renders the Holocaust likely to be repeated but this time against those of Christian extraction, many of whom are Europeans. Those Socialist forces which brought us Gulags and death camps are once more on the rise and will soon be rounding up their latest victims. Forget the Holocaust at your peril, “it might be you” this time….

   • Quite a few, unfortunately, Anonymous, eg white people over the slave trade (while ignoring the part played by arabs and by other black Africans, if they’re even aware of it)

     • The thing is, neither the Nazis – a bunch of megalomaniacs who lost sight of reality under the weight of their own demagoguerie – nor the Holocaust started anti-German propaganda, which has now morphed into anti-European and anti-White propaganda.
       The current strain has its roots in the 1860’s, when a newly unified Germany caused all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred among its neighbors. Germans were already portrayed as the villains during the Franco-Prussian war and certainly WW I.
       As far back as the Middle Ages, the Teutonic Knights – who formed much of the elite/upper classes in eastern Europe and made up a large chunk of the defenders of the Crusader states, Rhodes, Malta and various other bulwarks against medieval Islam – were often vilified, justifiably so or not.
       As for slavery, I have always found it confusing how Black people in America can convert to a religion in which slavery is ok even today…….

     • THE major part played by the Arabs. It’s good to go with the Koran of course – the basis of all evil. No?
