In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward opinion editor Gal Beckerman and Washington correspondent Nathan Guttman to discuss the fallout from the Iowa caucuses and the outlook for Republican presidential candidates in New Hampshire and beyond. Then, staff writer Paul Berger stops by to discuss his story about a Belgian man who was honored for saving Jews during the Holocaust. It turns out he is accused of being xenophobic and anti-Semitic. He may have actually prevented Jews from fleeing Nazi Germany. Finally, the group argues, vehemently, about why Jews like Natalie Portman.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
