[CORRECTED] Battling the new anti-Semitism

Support the Forward as we expose anti-Semitism
 

Support us as we Expose Anti-Semitism

 

Our previous email misidentified the state that Ilhan Omar represents. Ilhan Omar is a representative of Minnesota, not Michigan. We apologize for the error. Here is the corrected version:

Dear Aswani,

 

Forward Opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon sparked a major conversation early this week when she called out a congresswoman for her blatant anti-Semitism. 

 

Chelsea Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined Batya in denouncing Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitic comments. The Twitter exchange caught the attention of the media including CNN, Vox, Newsweek, Fox News and many others.

 

This isn't the first time the Forward was recognized for covering the rise of anti-Semitism. In October 2017, the New York Times took notice and expressed the importance of our work.

 

Like Batya, all of our reporters are on the front lines of Jewish news every day, to call out and expose injustice on the left and the right. After all, if you're only fighting anti-Semitism on one side, you're not really fighting it.

 

As you depend on us to keep you informed and connected, we depend on you. Support our efforts as we face a resurgence of anti-Semitism in America. 

In gratitude for your support,
