American Evangelist Who Sparked Anti-Gay Panic Sued By Ugandan Gay Rights Group

…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…

Vatican’s ‘Dumbed Down Version of an Old Argument’ on Gender Can’t Stop Changes in Catholicism

…onservatives developed to counter them. 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…

Two Wars and No Peace in Sight: The Role of Faith-Based Pacifism

…East and West. There were so many nuclear bombs stationed in East and West Germany that a nuclear war felt like a real possibility. But then, very unexpectedly, the Berlin wall fell. We watched this happen, and it was at that moment that I realized that we have to figure out how nonviolence works and how it can be adapted to other countries. I realized that nonviolence was a practical option but people did not consider it very often because there…

Turning Point Efforts to Export Drag Queen Attacks and ‘Take Back Universities’ Marred by Fringe Associations and Farcical Missteps

…cide, but rather that he was a “globalist”: “If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine,” Owens continued, while standing next to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. “The problem is he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize, he wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German, everybody to look a different way.” TPUK’s rollout of its social media accounts three months…

Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

…fell behind, or would we have rather that, potentially, to complement Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, a Muslim-majority state did its best impression of imperialism? The same Ottomans, in their twilight, were overrun by a nearly fascistic Committee of Union and Progress, whose treatment of the Armenians underlines my point. Then, though the Muslim world achieved formal independence in the 20th century, this was but nominally sovereignty. These co…

The Holocaust is Over: Avraham Burg’s Israel and Jews as Victims

…o indicate how dire the situation now is in Israel, he refers ominously to Germany on the eve of the Nazi seizure of power (in the Hebrew version, he went further and predicted that Israel might enact Nuremberg Laws of its own). Like everyone else who reaches for a Holocaust metaphor, he can’t resist playing the biggest trump card in his deck. Israeli Apostates, Israel’s Elite If Burg were not the public personality that he is, his book would cert…

When Words Kill: A Health Care Glossary

…Oregon, Washington, and Montana (and, in some form, in Belgium, Columbia, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and Great Britain) advocates resist use of “suicide” and prefer “aid in dying” or “Death with Dignity,” the names of the bills in Oregon and Washington (Montana’s law was established by the court and not by vote, and is currently being challenged). As one affiliate of Compassion & Choices, the country’s largest end-of-life advocacy organization,…

As Transition Looms, Jewish Studies is Mired in Controversy

…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…

Christianity Without the Cross

…ent to the art. The search took them to Rome, Ravenna, and Turkey; then to Germany. “It took Jesus a long time to die,” Brock says. Not until 965 in northern Germany was the life-sized oak crucifix called the Gero Cross carved. On it, the Christian God was suffering and dying: an image of terror, torture, and desolation. The carving is now in the Cathedral of St. Peter and Maria in Cologne. Could there be a connection that one hundred years later,…

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

…often, fascists are a laughing stock—until they become powerful. Take the (latest) German coup attempt by a right-wing terror group: its probability of success is the wrong metric if we’re looking at the big picture. Sure, they were very unlikely to succeed in overthrowing the government. But they still could have caused a fair amount of bloodshed and damage. And it shows, once again, that democracy is under attack, not just from the fringes but f…
