[edit] Critical acclaim
Jeffery Goldberg of The Atlantic called Rosner "The leading Israeli blogger and all-around A1 Jew". MJ Rosenberg, Director of Policy Analysis at the Israel Policy Forum, and former AIPAC staffer and editor of AIPAC's Near East Report, describes Rosner as a "popular and provocative conservative".[4] The Nation, in a profile of Haaretz, which employed Rosner, described him as "the paper's right-of-center chief US correspondent."[5] Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President of the Jewish Reform movement wrote that "Rosner is one of the more interesting commentators on this well-worn subject (Israel-Diaspora relations). While he trends conservative, he has an original, quirky, iconoclastic approach, and one never knows where he will end up".[6]
