Pelosi Goes to Syria
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is meeting with President Bashar al-Assad in Syria today, a move that has raised the ire of the Bush administration.
Interesting for Forward readers, Pelosi’s delegation includes representatives Tom Lantos and Henry Waxman of California, as well as Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota.
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.
