Reporters’ Roundtable: Israeli Diplomats Flee; Big GOP Win; Jewish Pioneers in Utah
This week, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward staff writer Nathan Guttman and Forward Fellow Naomi Zeveloff to discuss Israel’s security and its relationships with the Arab world after protestors knocked down a wall outside of Israel’s embassy in Cairo. Then, Democrat David Weprin was defeated by Republican Bob Turner in a special election for Anthony Weiner’s congressional seat in a race in which Israel was a major issue. Lastly, Naomi talks about a recent trip she took to a failed Jewish farming colony in Utah and why Mormons are fascinated with Jews.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
