Marty Peretz Has Found a New Reason to Pick on George Soros
We’ve already noted Marty Peretz’s obsession with George Soros. Now the New Republic big cheese has broken new ground in Soros-bashing: blaming the billionaire financier for airline mishaps.
Really, though, our main gripe with Peretz has nothing to do with Soros, and everything to do with the TNR chief’s calling our deputy Web editor “Arthur.” Oh, and we still have no idea why Peretz thinks the Forward is a non-Zionist newspaper.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
