The Resurgence of Right-Wing Anti-Semitic Conspiracism Endangers All Justice Movements

By Ben Lorber

…das. Most of the time, these theories were overtly anti-Semitic, with Nazi Germany and its obsession with “Judeo-Bolshevism” serving as the starkest example of the consequences of these theories—for Jews and for the world. Today, it is can no longer be doubted that from San Diego and Pittsburgh to Charlottesville, Virginia, and the pages of Breitbart, anti-Semitism is resurgent in the Trump era. But how it operates—and why it’s on the rise—can be…

Vatican Sexual Abuse Meeting Is Destined to Fail—To Stop the Problem or the Decline

By Mary E. Hunt

…he delict of sexual abuse of minors.” Theologian Doris Wagner-Reisinger of Germany accused Mr. Geissler of trying to kiss her in the confessional in 2009; she was told that he had admitted it and been punished. That was several years ago, and he has been on the loose and employed in the very office dedicated to deal with similar incidents. It is hard to make up these cases. Another jaw dropper of late is a report that Argentine Archbishop Gustavo…

Anti-Immigrant Fervor Is a Part of America’s Story

By Robert Bartholomew and Anja Reumschussel

…ile President Franklin Roosevelt had harsh words for Hitler’s treatment of Germany’s Jewish population, his words alone were little comfort to those who were fighting for their very survival, and that of their families. The United States even put pressure on European countries not to take them in, because they supposedly posed an imminent threat to their national security. This tragic episode took place amidst charges that many Jewish asylum-seeke…

Refugee Crisis in the Age of Trump: Getting Holocaust Analogies Wrong

By Sarah Posner

…caust to “score political points,” when Carson suggested that Jews in Nazi Germany could have prevented the Holocaust had they been armed with guns. While abuse of Nazi and Holocaust analogies is not limited to one political party, these two most recent and most widely reviled instances were uttered by Republicans running for president who claim that their Christian faith deeply informs their politics and values. Now the Syrian refugee crisis is c…

Will Getting Rid of Bryan Fischer Get Rid of the AFA’s Problem?

By Sarah Posner

…istory” of a Nazi-gay link, claiming “the masculine homosexual movement in Germany created the Brown Shirts, and the Brown Shirts in turn created the Nazi Party.” In a column earlier this year opposing the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, Fischer recycled that 2008 column, adding, “Even today in America, it is chic in some homosexual circles for individuals to wear replicas of Nazi Germany uniforms, complete with iron crosses, storm trooper outfits…

Do Atheists Borrow Religion’s Morality?

By Frank Schaeffer

…alent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living.” In Germany, his positions have been compared to the Nazis, and his lectures have been disrupted all over the world by groups representing the handicapped. According to my friend Angela Creager (one of Singer’s colleagues and a professor of the history of science at Princeton), Singer is a kind man moved by compassion. Nevertheless, he seems not to understand how his ideas stri…

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…

The Incredible Shrinking Catholic Church

By Paul Gorrell

…ogy of Opus Dei. It is no surprise that Pope Benedict comes from a country—Germany—where the percentage of Church members attending Sunday mass is one of the lowest in the world. Strict adherence to orthodoxy will not be popular. In an odd parallel, Benedict’s view of the Church resembles the ecclesiology of the Protestant theologian Stanley Hauerwas, who argued that the Christian church should focus on creating a community of character that stric…

RD10Q: The Fight Against Feminism

By Kathryn Joyce

…rching Quiverfull, I read many fundamentalists who took that charge seriously enough to counter it, and tell women that there was no such thing as freedom, but only slavery to sin or to God. Koonz’s book is a meticulous history of women during wartime Germany—the resurgence of patriarchal gender roles, their movements for and against these roles, the politicking of Germany’s versions of Phyllis Schlafly, angling for power with male leaders as they…

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…
