Carrie Prejean, God’s Prophet or Porn Star?

By Paula M. Cooey

…’s. Jerry Falwell Jr., Chancellor of Liberty University, has offered her a free ride at Liberty to complete her college education. He noted that all of the male students currently enrolled, having seen her bikini pictures, would line up to donate the funds personally. (It’s not entirely clear whether she can meet the dress code, once she were to arrive, however.) Shrouding Sexual Titillation and Drooling Voyeurism with the Patina of Beauty and Vir…

Gandhi, his Grandson, Israel, and the Jews

By Shalom Goldman

…ibowitz of Hebrew University said that for him the question was not how to free the territories from Israel, but rather, “how to free Israel from the territories.” A Palestinian Gandhi? Among Palestinian intellectuals, both violent and nonviolent opposition to Israeli rule were among the possibilities discussed in the first two decades after the 1967 War. Among those who have advocated nonviolent resistance and have therefore been dubbed a “Palest…

Blasphemy and Betrayal: The Murder of Salman Taseer

By Anna Bigelow

…pulation traumatized by the upheavals of partition, “You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed—that has nothing to do with the business of the State.” Would that Jinnah had survived longer (he died in 1948) to secure that principle in Pakistani society. Instead, the now over sixty-year struggle to…

Heritage Foundation’s Christian Nationalist ‘Project Esther’ Won’t Combat Antisemitism — But it Will Weaponize Jews

By Ben Lorber

On the anniversary of October 7, the Heritage Foundation released Project Esther: A National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Spearheaded by Heritage’s National Task Force to Combat Antisemit…

The Supreme Court Cleared the Way for the ‘President-King’—The Right’s Prize for 50 Years of Planning

By Annika Brockschmidt

…rocesses of legislative actions and referenda reshaping the Constitution—a freeing of the chief executive from checks and balances constraining his power. With its decision last Monday, the Supreme Court majority essentially crowned presidents (at least those the majority supports) kings above the law. Whether you call it the imperial, monarchical, or sovereign presidency—the conservative legal movement is finally ready for a king to help entrench…

Editor’s Picks: Remembering the Broken Promises — and the Possibilities — on Independence Day

By The Editors

Independence Day doesn’t tend to cause as much dissonance as Thanksgiving, as much confusion as Juneteenth, and isn’t as widely reviled as Columbus Day (aka Indigenous People’s Day). Yet, while it “is not America’s birthday,” as Peter Laarman argued nearly a decade ago, Independence Day is every bit as apt as the holidays above to initiate—for better and certainly for worse—a discussion about what the American project actually is, what it was mea…

Rising Christian Right Movement, New Apostolic Reformation, Emerged as a Mid-20th Century Splinter of White Supremacy

By Keri Ladner

…rally diverse coalition that promotes Christian Zionism as fervently as it promotes Christian nationalism in the US. And while the NAR’s philosemitism can itself be deeply problematic, it certainly isn’t as threatening as White supremacy’s conspiracy-laden antisemitism. However, as recently as the mid-twentieth century, the movements actually were the same. William Branham (1909-1965) was a revivalist and faith healer who served as a prominent fig…

Trump the Totem: Like Other Fascist Leaders, Trump has Turned from Man to Symbol — And That’s the Danger

By Robert P. Jones

…being indicted for you…. And never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. And I’m never gonna let it happen. They wanna silence me because I will never let them silence you. And in the end, they’re not after me. They’re after you. I just happen to be standing in the way. When the leader becomes the totem, no transgression is capable of separating him from his acolytes. A totem can’t li…

The ADL is Correct that Antisemitism is Rising — But the Main (and Most Dangerous) Source Isn’t the Left, It’s Always Been the Right

By Shane Burley

…oudest media figures agreed. And not merely the expected sources, like the Free Press’ Bari Weiss, who lamented the “rising wave of antisemitism and illiberalism [that] have swept the country.” In the Atlantic, Franklin Foer asserted that the age of Jewish prosperity and safety was over, while Dara Horn suggested that campus protests were a victory lap for antisemites. As Israel’s war on Gaza progressed, college presidents were dragged into congre…

A Love Letter (and Challenge) to Evangelical Women, ‘For Our Daughters’ Documents Devastating Cost of Christian Patriarchy

By Caroline Matas

…n in America, whose usual guiding principles—anti-abortion, pro-“religious freedom,” anti-immigration—are chafing against what numerous publications, from the New Republic to Ms. to the Atlantic have called “the war on women” being waged by the Republican Party in general and the Trump campaign in particular. (Of course, one might argue that many of the earnest political beliefs shared by evangelical women actually stem from these same misogynisti…
