Edition #47/7-2004
June 18, 2004

Dear Friend,

The anticipated Gaza pullout has led to numerous editorials directly on that subject, but it also has led to editorials with a broader perspective about future possibilities.

Normally, American Editorial Review does not cover Jewish newspapers, but in this issue, I have included an important but disturbing editorial from The Forward (the oldest and probably the largest Jewish weekly in the U.S.).

Sincerely,

Arthur S. Obermayer
