Who Says Only the Zionists Care About the Killing in Darfur?
The Arab American Institute, James Zogby’s outfit, is also calling for action, in a new television ad on Arabic-language stations.
Money quote from the ad: “Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq – Darfur. We must pray for them all.”
Money quote from Zogby: “Just as the Arab American and Muslim American communities have spoken out against the violence and injustice that has taken place in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq, we have an obligation to take action to help the 400,000 Muslims who have been killed in Darfur.”
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.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
