He became Washington Correspondent ''The Guardian'' in 1993, remaining in that post until 1997 when he returned to London as an editorial writer and columnist. ''Bring Home the Revolution: The case for a British Republic'' (1998), Freedland's first book, argued that Britain should reclaim the revolutionary ideals it exported to America in the 18th century, and undergo a constitutional and cultural overhaul. The book won a W. Somerset Maugham Award for non-fiction and was later adapted into a two-part series for BBC Television. Between 2002 and 2004, Freedland was an occasional columnist for the ''Daily Mirror'' and from 2005 to 2007 he wrote a weekly column for the London ''Evening Standard''. He has also been published in ''Newsweek'' and ''The New Republic'' magazines. ''Jacob's Gift'' (2005) is a memoir recounting the lives of three generations of his own Jewish family as well as exploring wider questions of identity and belonging.〔Anthony Juluius ("The bearers of memory" ), ''The Guardian'', 19 February 2005〕 In 2008, he broadcast a two-part series for BBC Radio 4 – ''British Jews and the Dream of Zion'' – as well as two TV documentaries for BBC Four: ''How to be a Good President'' and ''President Hollywood''. In March 2014, it emerged that Freedland from May will assume the role of executive editor, opinion with responsibilities for the comment section of the newspaper and the development of longer articles for the paper and the website.〔Jason Deans ("Janine Gibson appointed editor-in-chief of theguardian.com" ), theguardian.com, 7 March 2014〕 A leading liberal Zionist in the UK,〔Antony Lerman ("The End of Liberal Zionism: Israel’s Move to the Right Challenges Diaspora Jews" ), ''New York Times'', 22 August 2014〕 he wrote in 2012 that he only uses the word Zionism infrequently. He explained: Of the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict he wrote: "Israelis want security, yet their government’s actions will give it no security. On the contrary, they are utterly self-defeating. Freedland has called for negotiations to end the cycles of violence: "The only real security is political, not military. It comes through negotiation, not artillery fire" because "in trying to crush today’s enemy, Israel has reared the enemy of tomorrow." Nominated on seven occasions, Freedland was awarded a special Orwell Prize in May 2014.for his journalism.〔Martin Williams ("Two Guardian journalists win Orwell prize for journalism" ), theguardian.com, 21 May 2014〕〔Katie Rosseinsky ("Double win for Alan Johnson as This Boy receives the Orwell Prize" ), ''Daily Telegraph'', 21 May 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jonathan Freedland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
