Rosner’s Rankings

Ha’aretz’s man in D.C., Shmuel Rosner, has a new feature on his blog in which a panel of experts ranks the likely presidential candidates based on their support for Israel. Rudy Giuliani leads the pack with an 8.75 rating out of a possible 10. Next is Newt Gingrich with an 8.38. Hillary Clinton and John McCain are tied for third with a 7.63.

What do these numbers actually mean? It’s not quite clear, but that shouldn’t get in the way of a good argument.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

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.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
