By this point, the five main presidential candidates still standing have uttered oceans of words on their foreign policy views.
Some statements contradict each other. Others just vary, or are nuanced, according to the candidate’s audience or circumstances. Trying to figure out what they add up to in terms of clear stands on specific issues is not always easy.
But here is the Forward’s best attempt to do so for all of them; our one-stop reference for readers on key issues of Jewish concern.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
