Reporters’ Roundtable: Justice for bin Laden; BDS on Campus
In this week’s podcast, the panel looks at whether or not Osama bin Laden should have been put on trial, like the Nazi lieutenant colonel Adolf Eichmann was, back in 1961. The second topic is the potency — or lack thereof — of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement on American college campuses. Forward editor Jane Eisner and opinion editor Gal Beckerman join host Josh Nathan-Kazis.
Lastly, in our regular segment, “The Best Jewish Story That Didn’t Make the Paper,” Josh discusses reports that the powerful Kabbalist Rabbi Yoshiyayu Yosef Pinto has accepted an invitation to travel to Syria.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
