Reporters’ Roundtable: The Flotilla Fallout
The fallout from Israel’s deadly raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla is the subject of this week’s Forward Reporters’ Roundtable. Reporter Josh-Nathan Kazis, staff writer Gal Beckerman and news editor Larry Cohler-Esses explore whether or not the American Jewish communal response to the incident proves Peter Beinart’s thesis. They also discuss J Street’s reaction to the raid and if Israel’s recent use of force can be separated from the debate over the Gaza blockade.
