Reporters’ Roundtable: Anti-Terror Grants Favor Jews; Palestinian Statehood; What Motivates the Tent Protests?
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
This week, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward editor Jane Eisner and Forward staff writer Nathan Guttman to discuss a Forward investigation that shows that a federal anti-terror grant program favors Jewish organizations — specifically Orthodox groups. The group then turns to discuss the upcoming Palestinian bid for statehood recognition in the United Nations. Later opinion editor Gal Beckerman stops by to discuss a recent op-ed about the competing motivations of Israeli social protests and, finally, why was the leader of the English Defence League dressed up like an Orthodox Jew?

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
