Motivated by legal developments in Germany and at the United Nations and by the theoretical work of feminists in Germany and in the United States to conjure up an opposition more coherent and formidable than any he actually faced, Ratzinger was the first to declare war on ‘gender.’ Francis provided powerful tactics and strategies for this war, with his rhetoric of anticolonialism and his combination of warm…

As Transition Looms, Jewish Studies is Mired in Controversy

By Shaul Magid

…movement was presenting a Judaism that could cohere with emancipation and promote the inclusion of Jews teaching Judaism in the academy. Its audience was as much the German academy as it was Jews. Whatever the case in 19th-century Germany, Greenberg argues that in late 20th-century America, “the problems of Jewish identity and Jewish survival are bound to emerge and haunt Judaic scholars with great intensity. This is because the crisis of moderni…

Broken Courts, Big Lies and Genocide Rehearsal: A Review of 2022—And What We Can Expect From 2023

By Annika Brockschmidt

…tire democracies under threat. Sure, the recent right-wing coup attempt in Germany had no real chance of actually succeeding. But that can’t be the only way to measure dangers to democracy—because then, we might as well hand over our democracies to the Right as we speak. It’s comparable to a common response to the “fascism” question: If the only fascism we recognize is one that looks exactly like in the 1930s, with an openly fascist government and…

By R.L. Stollar

…n order of the world—like LGBTQ, and especially trans people.” During Nazi Germany, for example, it was common to link queer people to child sexual abuse to argue for their eradication. Adolf Hitler himself worried about how “a homosexual will generally seduce a whole host of boys, so that homosexuality really is as infectious and dangerous as the plague.” We don’t have to go as far, or as far back, as Nazi Germany, however, as this was a rhetoric…

By Matthew Teutsch and Emma Williams

…e threat it poses to democracy by linking it directly with fascism in Nazi Germany. Smith’s work grapples with conflicts of race and systemic inequality that are intertwined in American society. During Jim Crow, Smith examined the influence of Christian nationalism on the issues of her time, and her work continues to speak to us today.

Pariah or Charmed Hero: America’s Obsession with Jews and Israel

By Shaul Magid

…ant distinction between America and Europe on this question. Many youth in Germany and Poland have taken a strong interest in Jewish culture, music, and religion in the past decade or so. Whether this is a product of guilt or, as she prefers, collective shame, what is interesting is that Europe’s renewed interest in (its) Jews and Judaism more generally does not translate into a reflexive support of Israel. This, I think, is a healthier attitude t…

Are Evangelicals Suffering From Buyer’s Remorse with Obama?

By Bill Berkowitz

…boys and paired them with adult homosexual soldiers. Brownshirt leaders in Germany recruited boys from the local high schools for sex. Roehm himself once briefly fled Germany for South America over a scandal involving a young male prostitute. This bodes ill for the young men who will be our future draftees. The scenario I see unfolding if we allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military is an initial period of turmoil in which members of the s…

By Peter Montgomery

…rd gays are strongly influenced by traditional stigmas, taboos, and values promoted by the Georgian Orthodox Church. Those studies also show that psychological and physical violence often accompany widespread homophobia that is backed by traditional ideologies and a Soviet legacy of condemnation.

Muslims Are Not the Only Group Endangered By Hate

By Shabana Mir

…der of Marwa Sherbini in a Dresden courtroom and the proceeding silence in Germany point to a disturbing trend in Europe. It is okay to hate Muslims. Alex W. was not a “lone wolf” and many xenophobic groups are no longer quite fringe. These developments are disturbing to all Europeans, not just to Muslims. Because the doors of hatred do not operate singly. One door of hatred opens multiple doors. Non-Muslim immigrants and minorities should not rea…

About 30 police officers were dispatched to break up a fight at a church service in North Carolina last weekend. The Atheist Agenda, an atheist student group at the University of Texas at San Antonio, will give you pornography in exchange for your Bible as part of their “smut for smut” campaign.
