Letter: American Jews Need To Stop Telling Israelis What Is Right And Wrong
Dear Editor,
As a Jewish publication, I’m really disgusted by the large number of anti-Israel opinion pieces which appear in the Forward. These articles seem to be the overwhelming majority. I don’t care for Jews who live safely outside of Israel, telling Israelis what is wrong with us and our state. Come, put your life on the line and those of your children, then you can have your say. I haven’t voted for Netanyahu in the last two elections and I’m no fan of his, especially in recent years. Jews who live outside of Israel can only feel safe because they have Israel as a safety net.
Henry Tobias,
Maale Adumim,

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
