Abuse Allegations at YU Didn’t End Abuse; Israel Lobby As Pop Culture
In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward editor Jane Eisner to discuss why it’s the Forward is reporting on abuse allegations at Yeshiva University, even though the reported abuse occurred decades ago. Then, Forward reporter Paul Berger reports that one of the alleged Y.U. abusers continued to act inappropriately, years after his departure from the university. Then, opinion editor Gal Beckerman drops by to discuss his latest column why the “Israel Lobby” has suddenly become a pop culture punchline.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.
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 the protests on college campuses.
