Hagee’s New Film Uses Jews and Science to Prove Christian, Pro-US God

By Michael Schulson

…cond syllable rhymes with coat, not with cot). But this isn’t a film about Israel as an actual place. It’s a film about Israel as an idea. In fact, geographical details cause Hagee some problems, since lunar eclipses aren’t visible worldwide; this particular tetrad doesn’t appear in Israeli skies at all, which may actually be a perfect metaphor for Hagee’s project. During the taped panel discussion that forms a coda to the film, a panelist points…

‘Spooky Action’ of Quantum Physics Offers an Alternative Frame for War in the Middle East and the 2024 Election

By Peter Schwartz

…d evangelicals in the United States generally to rally around the cause of Israeli religious nationalists and to sharpen their anti-modernist critique of secular, cosmopolitan elites (even if a segment of the U.S. Right disagrees). If the religious war in Israel and the Palestinian territories tips the balance in favor of Trump and the Republicans, it will result from this nearly cellular identification of religious conservatives in key battlegrou…

God Bless You, Barbara Herz

By Sarah Posner

…ommitment that President Obama and the Democratic Party seek peace between Israelis and Palestinians… A just and lasting Israeli-Palestinian accord, producing two states for two peoples, would contribute to regional stability and help sustain Israel’s identity as a Jewish and democratic state.” Under saner circumstances, this would be an almost perfunctory rephrasing of the U.S. commitment to Israel in a way that does not fly in the face of longst…

Updated: Dr. Oz Thinks Anti-Muslim’s Sugar-Daddy Sheldon Adelson is “Not So Bad”

By Garibaldi

…ask? Not famed Turkish American Muslim Dr. Mehmet Oz! On the plane ride to Israel, none other than Rabbi Shmuley Boteach interviewed Dr. Oz for the Jerusalem Post. Asked why he chose to come to Israel Dr. Oz replied that it was “an effort to better understand the source of the universal Jewish values that have so positively impacted on the world and the place from which they stem.” Is it really necessary to visit Israel to better understand Jewish…

…t publicly opposed marriage equality and declared she would boycott Qantas airline “where possible” to protest the company’s support for marriage equality. She also told a Christian radio station that “tennis is full of lesbians.” Navratilova has said that while Court was “an amazing tennis player,” she is also “a racist and a homophobe.” Court charged that money from America was behind the “conspiracy” against her.

Can Expelled Teach Us a Thing or Two?

By Arri Eisen

…ans would be attracted to, appreciate and consider careers in science (the number is decreasing annually). I bet we’d have more productive conversation among students and leaders of science and religion around the many profound issues in our nation that engage both: abortion, medical care, stem cells, homosexuality, and genomic research. The battle rhetoric would fade and, more than likely, movies like Expelled wouldn’t be made in the first place….

Mitt Romney’s Prosperity Gospel

By Peter Laarman

…I fervently wish that Mr. Obama would say a bit more about the problem of cheap grace. Reminding us that people who work very hard for very little are not the abusers of cheap grace, but that others in well-feathered nests who are preaching sacrifice might be in real trouble on the cheap grace front. Obama cannot and should not condemn those in the electorate who buy into Romney’s “there will be showers of blessing” message, but he probably does …

Francis Visits the Church that John Paul Broke

By Patricia Miller

…umber of marriages within the church has declined by nearly half. Only the number of Catholic funerals has held steady. And while the number of Catholics overall has remained level, that’s largely due to Hispanic migration to the US; some 40 percent of those born Catholic have left the church. But numbers don’t tell the whole story. The church Francis will encounter is fundamentally different in character from the church of John Paul in two import…

Do Make Trouble: The Complex World of Radical Jewish ‘Revenge Theologian,’ Meir Kahane

By Shane Burley

…merican dream for the Jew. The JDL was a diasporic project. But he goes to Israel in 1971, and by 1972 he said that the JDL should be about mass aliyah; we have to get as many Jews to move to Israel as possible. And his colleague, Bertram Zweibon, said no, that the JDL was about protecting Jews in America. So I think there was a breach of Kahane’s idea at some point. But his goal was to bring Zionist muscularity into the diaspora. In addition he t…
