By Noah Berlatsky

…people.” Yet Kissinger, far from being “unapologetic about his heritage,” deliberately distanced himself from other Jewish people, and he did so using antisemitic rhetoric. Twitter’s community notes even added context to the ADL’s tweet, noting that it’s misleading and that: “Nixon’s WH Counsel recalls Kissinger assuaging Nixon’s rants about ‘dirty rotten’ ‘Jewish traitors’ protesting Vietnam by assuring him he was one of the ‘good ones’.” [Editor…

By Kaya Oakes

…trinsically disordered.” That same church lost Oscar Romero to a bullet in El Salvador, and took in Romero’s flock when they streamed North. When violence enters a sanctuary, that is a violation of sacred space.

Religion has often provided this “second language,” as Robert Bellah and his colleagues call it, as an alternative way of thinking about big questions. In a society that is both religiously pluralistic and secular, it is important to look for alternative sources of this second language. Does ethics necessitate religion? I don’t think it does.

By 2017, however, U.S. militias started to behave less like guerillas and more like pro-state paramilitaries.[33] Despite continued talk of the new world order and “deep state,” many militias made peace with federal power in Trump’s hands,[34] even…

…uiring attendance at prayer meetings before providing earthquake relief in El Salvador, and of similar abuses, on more than one occasion. Graham made this claim in the petulant statement he issued on April 14 on both the Samaritan’s Purse website and his Facebook page, in which he also accused his critics of being “tone-deaf” and registered his objection to “being harassed into diverting precious resources of time and energy and personnel away fro…

By Jeff Sharlet

…aul talked to Mark; now it’s “tens of millions,” the entire populations of El Salvador and Guatemala pouring over the “Biden border” as they speak. “Yeah!” agrees Chris. “We’re being invaded by foreign armies of all different countries.” He looks like he’s wearing a disguise.
