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.

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.
