Glick founded and edited the Hebrew language political satire websiteLatma TV from 2009 to 2013.[17]
In July 2012, theDavid Horowitz Freedom Center announced the hiring of Glick as the Director of its Israel Security Project.[citation needed]
In aJerusalem Post opinion piece on the subject of the Iran nuclear agreement published on August 13, 2015, Glick characterizedJewish Americans as being at a crossroads, being threatened by PresidentBarack Obama to risk both alienation from the Democratic Party and a weakening of the traditional Israeli-USA relationship if influential American Jewish leaders fail to support the nuclear deal.[18]
In January 2019, she became a member of the IsraeliNew Right party.[19][20] She unsuccessfully ran for election to theKnesset in theApril 2019 elections in the sixth position on the New Right party's electoral list.[21]
In Glick's 2014 bookThe Israeli Solution: A One-State Plan for Peace in the Middle East, she advocates for theannexation of the West Bank into a Jewish state without granting citizenship to much of the Palestinian population. She wrote an introductory article for the book inThe Jerusalem Post.[22] A review in theJewish Political Studies Review called it a "solid defense ofZionism".[23] One reviewer in the United Arab Emirates'The National was intrigued, but found the book problematic and flawed, found the author's historical account to be "mendacious", and saw the likely result of annexation as a collapse into civil war.[24]David P. Goldman's review at theAsia Times was more favorable of Glick's one-state plan, but questioned whether it could be executed considering the demographic disaster predicted bySergio Della Pergola. Goldman concludes, "If you read only one book about the Middle East this year, it should be Caroline Glick's".[25]
In June 2010, Glick co-produced and appeared inWe Con the World, a satirical video by Latma TV about theGaza Freedom Flotilla's attempt to breach theIsraeli blockade of Gaza. The video clip quickly gained over 3,000,000 views from YouTube viewers, before being removed by the online hosting site due to allegedcopyright infringement;[26][27] Glick disputed the infringement charges, claiming a right offair use.[28] The video drew both criticism[29] and praise.[30][31] Writing forThe Guardian, Meron Rapoport said the video was "anti-Muslim",[32] while Eileen Read, writing forThe Huffington Post, described the mocking of the flotilla crew as "tasteless and blatantly racist".[29] Glick dismissed claims that the video is offensive, saying: "The point of satire is to make people uncomfortable. We're not trying to be fair and balanced, we're trying to make a point."[31]
