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, long time Capitol Hill staffer and former editor of AIPAC's Near East Report, describes Rosner as a "popular and provocative conservative"^[3]. The Nation, in a profile of the Israeli Haaretz newspaper which employs Rosner, described Rosner as "the paper's right-of-center chief US correspondent."^[4]

Rosner has refused to feature US presidential candidate Ron Paul on his "The Israel Factor" section[1] despite admitting in an article he wrote that Paul was a prominent candidate and that he had received dozens of emails requesting that he be added, and noting that Paul had won some national debates and that he was successful in fundraising.^[5]
