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.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
