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.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
