[edit] Life
Glick was born in Chicago and graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science. She emigrated to Israel in 1991 and joined the IDF .
She worked in the JAG division of the IDF during the first intifada in 1992 and while there, edited and co-authored the IDF book, Israel, the Intifada and the Rule of Law. Following the Oslo Agreements, she worked as coordinator of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. She retired from the military with the rank of captain at the end of 1996. In 1997 and 1998 she served as assistant foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. She returned to the US to get her Masters degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2000.
Upon her return to Israel, she became, and remains, the chief diplomatic correspondent for Makor Rishon newspaper, for which she writes a weekly column in Hebrew. She is also the deputy managing editor of the Jerusalem Post for which she writes two syndicated columns a week. Her writings have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the National Review, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Sun-Times, the Washington Times, Maariv and major Jewish newspapers worldwide. She has appeared on MSNBC, FOX News, Sky News, the Christian Broadcast network, and all of Israel’s major television networks. She also makes frequent radio appearances both in the US and Israel.
In 2003, during operation Iraqi Freedom, Caroline was embedded with the US Army’s Third Infantry Division and filed front-line reports for the Jerusalem Post and the Chicago Sun-Times. She also reported daily from the front lines, via satellite phone, for Channel 1 news in Israel. Glick was on the scene when US forces took the Baghdad International airport.
She is the Senior Middle East Fellow at the Center for Security Policy and is one of several co-authors of the Center’s latest book, War Footing. She has been a senior researcher at the IDF’s Operational Theory Research Institute (which as Israel’s Defense establishment’s most prestigious think tank is roughly equivalent to the US’s Rand Corporation). She has also worked as an adjunct lecturer in tactical warfare at the IDF’s Command and Staff College.
In 2003, Glick was named "The Most Prominent Woman in Israel" by the Israeli newspaper Maariv.
She was the 2005 recipient of the Zionist Organization of America’s Ben Hecht award for Outstanding Journalism (previous recipients have included A.M. Rosenthal, Sidney Zion and Daniel Pipes.)
She also received Israel Media Watch’s 2006 award for critical journalism.
[edit] Remarks
Glick has remarked that "one of the greatest problems for international journalists covering the Middle East is that people who serve as guides for journalists are often affiliated with Islamic terrorists seeking to turn foreign visitors against Israel. They bring journalists to staged scenes that paint a false, overly optimistic picture of Arab life. [1]
- "Also, civilians are sometimes willing to give their true opinion if a reporter will allow them to remain anonymous," Glick says, "but using anonymous sources opens a reporter to charges of fabrication." [2]
- "The people oftentimes cannot tell you what they think of things because they can be physically punished," Glick said. "This is not just an Israeli problem. This is a problem for reporters in any place that is not free. "[3]

Glick is featured as an expert speaker on the documentaries Relentless: The Struggle for Peace in Israel and Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.
