"Even those who blanch at the thought of Israel annexing the West
Bank can learn from the points Glick makes...Glick has brought out
her book at an amazing moment, sketching what many will see as a
better route toward peace and in the nick of time." -New York
Post
"Devotees of the two-state solution will surely dismiss Caroline
Glick’s The Israeli Solution out of hand. They shouldn’t.
Whether or not one agrees with Glick’s conclusions, it’s hard to
dispute her premise: The two-state solution has failed repeatedly
for more than 80 years, starting with serial British partition
plans in the 1930s. Each time, it has foundered on the same
obstacle: Arab rejection of the Jewish state’s right to exist
within any borders. And there’s no reason to think this will change
anytime soon. So anyone who truly considers the status quo
unsustainable needs to explore alternative solutions."
-Commentary
"If you read only one book about the Middle East this year, it
should be Caroline Glick's. Whether or not you agree with her
conclusions, she illuminates the contorted landscape by pointing to
an audacious solution. It is only by considering alternative
actions that we understand our present circumstances, and Ms Glick
concentrates the mind wonderfully." -Asia Times
"A radical proposal advanced in time’s nick for those who doubt the
framework Secretary of State Kerry is seeking for talks about a
two-state solution. [Glick] lays the arguments out beautifully, and
her plan deserves attention on Capitol Hill." -New York Sun
"The most comprehensive and articulate defense of what the
Israeli position is that I have ever seen." -Pat Robertson, The 700
Club
"A radical break with current thinking that has a chance to
completely change the conversation for the betterment of Israel and
America…Glick proposes that given an enemy that has been dedicated
to nothing less than the annihilation of Israel, in order to defend
its borders and continue to flourish, Israel must claim its
sovereignty over Judea and Samaria and grant all Palestinians,
subject to Israeli law, with permanent residency and the ability to
apply for full citizenship…Every person who cares about the fate of
the West, regardless of political orientation, will gain something
from reading Glick’s lucid, thoroughly researched and
thought-provoking book." -The Blaze
"The Israeli Solution will bring the one-state alternative out
of the margins and into the mainstream policy debate."
-Breitbart
"A bold, dramatic proposal, cleanly crafted and effectively
argued...Given Caroline Glick's background, she is
expertly placed to provide insight into why the two-state concept
may have been flawed from its birth." -The Jerusalem Post
"Cuts through all the relativistic baloney regarding the
Palestinian controversy and provides a comprehensive explanation
for why it is vital for supporters of Israel not go wobbly now. If
there is a single new book that can help the public make sense of
the Mideast crisis, this is it...Caroline Glick makes a convincing
case that the only way to move toward peace in the Middle East is
through the one-state plan" -The American Spectator
"The Israeli Solution is a realistic solution because it does
not promise to create a new Middle East, assure us that terrorists
will become statesmen or breezily offer an end to a hatred that has
existed for over a thousand years...Instead she offers the real
solution of managing the conflict by taking responsibility for the
territory and people instead of abandoning it and them to Arafat or
Abbas and hoping that the magic doves of peace will do the
rest...Advocates something that has never been tried before
throughout this conflict; integration instead of segregation and
unity instead of partition." -Frontpage “If you want to
understand the Middle East, read this book. If you want to know how
our corrupt elites in Washington bungled American policy in the
most incendiary region in the world, read this book. The Israeli
Solution exposes all the lies we’ve been spoon fed for a generation
and presents an alternative policy for the United States to follow
in the Middle East that is clear headed, rational, legal, and
moral. The Israeli Solution is simple and just. This is a must
read.” -Mark Levin, bestselling author of Liberty and Tyranny
and The Liberty Amendments
"With skill and boldness, Caroline Glick cuts through the
fog of diplomacy surrounding what Israel should do with the West
Bank. Her analysis and strategy will cause headaches and
palpitations in foreign ministries around the world wedded to the
failed ‘two-state solution.’ It will be a
character-building experience for them." –John Bolton, former U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations
“A must-read for anyone interested in understanding the century-old
violent conflict between the Jews and Arabs in the Middle East.
Filled with facts, many of them little known and less
remembered, it rejects the standard "two-state" paradigm; instead,
it proposes a radically new idea based on Jewish rights to the
land, combined with full citizenship for the Arab minority. Whether
or not one agrees with her conclusions, one can only admire the
carefully crafted and compelling logic, based on a thorough
knowledge of the facts and a deep understanding of history.”
–Professor Robert Aumann, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic
Sciences, 2005
“Before committing the United States and Israel to yet another
generation of futile Middle East peacemaking, everyone interested
in bringing genuine and lasting peace to that troubled region owes
it to themselves to read and consider Caroline Glick’s passionate,
well written and well researched case for The Israeli
Solution.” -Mike Pence, Governor of Indiana
"Written by one of the premier thought leaders and policy
visionaries on the Middle East , The Israeli Solution is a timely,
pragmatic and forthright analysis of the failures of the two-state
strategy since World War I. But Glick doesn't stop with analyzing
the problem. She provides a solution that is bold, just, and
strategically sound, and she says what needs to be said: Israel is
the solution, not the problem. Essential reading for us
all." – Allen B. West, former U.S. Representative, Lieutenant
Colonel (Ret)
“The ‘two-state solution,’ one which American foreign and
counterterrorism policy has been based for over two decades, is a
tragic farce. As the intrepid Caroline Glick powerfully shows, it
has weakened the United States while rendering Israel ever more
vulnerable. In place of its continuing and inevitable failure,
Glick offers real democracy promotion: a one-state solution that
empowers Palestinians with what their corrupt leadership will
forever deny: true civil rights.” -Andrew C. McCarthy, bestselling
author of Spring Fever, The Grand Jihad, and Willful Blindness
“Glick undercuts deeply flawed demographics and easy clichés
with facts, reason, and a vision for the future of Arab-Israeli
relations. With this provocative and necessary book, Glick has put
the foreign policy consensus on alert, for the writing is on the
wall—the answer is The Israeli Solution.” –Lee Smith, senior
editor, The Weekly Standard
“The Israeli Solution is all about facing reality squarely. It
is written seriously and deserves to be taken seriously.” –Angelo
Codevilla, professor of international relations, Boston University
