Beck, Native Americans, and the Book of Mormon

By Joanna Brooks

By Ben Lorber

…But what about our own border?’ (as if two causes cannot be supported, at least morally, at the same time), ‘LOL Ben Shapiro takes the Hitl0r pill!’ (as if the strongest motivation among our crowd is to not be Ben Shapiro). You know what I mean. What he ‘means’ is that strong currents of antisemitism, combined with America First isolationism, preclude large portions of the dissident Right from enthusiastically supporting Israeli nationalism and it…

By Katherine Kelaidis

…alienable rights endowed by our creator” amongst haves and have nots. When East Asians started arriving in the United States, we were not sure if they were “white” or not. In 1922 the US Supreme Court ruled in Ozawa v. United States that being white meant being “Caucasian,” not just “not Black,” or “not Native American.” East Asians were promptly stripped of their citizenship, because they were not white enough for this country. South Asians belie…

Islamophobia v. Islamo-comedy

By Hafsa Kanjwal

…an organization that tracks any academic whose teachings about the Middle East or Islam are deemed critical of American or Israeli policy. Really, if academia ceased to criticize, where would we be? He opposes the creation of a Palestinian state, and once stated that “The increased stature, and affluence, and enfranchisement of American Muslims…will present true dangers to American Jews.” In the film, Pipes maintains that 10-15% of Muslims worldw…

Syria and the American Apocalyptic Imagination: Isaiah 17:1 as “Evidence” of the End

By Jason C. Bivins

…dament, a wince-inducing distraction, a necessary corrective. At the very least, these stock formats for evidence gather up particulars—even the raw experience of suffering and misery so clearly at work now—and make of them details in the service of a not-yet, a “real story” that may come in military action or redemptive return. In each case, though, when it seems that the very possibility of coherence or reasoned discourse is blasted away by the…

…s banned from playing. “It’s one of the only countries in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region that does not criminalise being LGBT+,” said Khalid in an interview. He is the founder of My Kali magazine, the first LGBT+ friendly webzine in Jordan, and one of the first in the MENA region. He identifies as gay. “Most of the countries in the MENA region want to reach that level. And it’s already given to us,” he added. Yet, half-a-century si…

…eing naïve.” In 1967 the Israeli army also seized the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, without any permission from the civilian leaders. They called it “finishing the job.” Matti Peled recalled hearing his father say that as early as 1953 the military had determined to “push Israel’s eastern border to its natural location on the banks of the Jordan River.” The occupying army cleared the way for civilian settlers who still use the mythic versio…

With Christian Schools At Risk In Israel, Crickets from American Christian Conservatives

By Sarah Posner

…at kind of growing repression in the U.S. today and it is fostering or at least giving rise to the spread of the persecution of Christians and religious minorities around the world.” If requiring health insurance for contraception is a “massive violation” of the rights of Christians, what is starving their schools of funding? In a letter promoting Family Research Council’s first-ever tour of Israel scheduled for this fall, Perkins described it as…

What We Need to Understand is that Fascism is Intersectional and Erotic—’Thy Rod is Thy Gun,’ With a Hip-Thrust

By Annika Brockschmidt

…by cops because I was so furious about what they were doing in the Middle East in particular—they were not fascists. They were imperialists. And there’s more than one kind of bad under the sun. I might still argue to this day that George W. Bush’s place in line to hell is in front of Trump’s (may the dead haunt him). But it wasn’t fascist. And when Trump came down the golden escalator, that was the fascist aesthetic. Because until then, in Americ…
