In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by political science professor Nathan Brown, who recently wrote for the Forward about the Muslim Brotherhood, which has emerged as the dominant political force in Egypt after its first democratic elections. Then, opinion editor Gal Beckerman explains his [recent blog post][1] about Newt Gingrich’s repeated references to Jewish community organizer Saul Alinsky and Gingrich’s prospects going into the Florida primary.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
