Reporters’ Roundtable: Richard Goldstone’s About Face; Ford Foundation Leaves Israel
In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with assistant managing editor Larry Cohler-Esses and staff writers Gal Beckerman and Nathan Guttman about what motivated Richard Goldstone to declare in a Washington Post opinion piece that he no longer believed that Israel had a policy of targeting Palestinian civilians during its 2008-2009 military incursion into Gaza. Then the panel discusses why the Ford Foundation is pulling funding from predominantly liberal Israeli NGOs. And in the new segment, “The Best Jewish Story that Didn’t Make the Paper,” the panel takes a look at the travel itinerary of the Crown Prince of Spain in advance of his upcoming visit to the Middle East.
