A Misleading Picture
Homebound while recovering from surgery, I was able to watch many hours of footage from the Egyptian uprising online. I have seen exactly one overtly anti-Jewish sign, poster or banner from the protests: the one you chose to put on the front page of your February 11 issue.
Your editorial “Egyptian Choices” states: “this isn’t about us.” Why then pander to fear? I am disappointed in my late mother’s favorite newspaper.

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.
