Is Zionism No Longer Able to Offer Solutions to the Present Reality?

…reality that can maintain equal rights for two peoples. Omri Boehm’s Haifa Republic puts forth an interesting theory of shared sovereignty and dual autonomy whereby Jews would sacrifice part of their sovereignty to enable Palestinians to have true political autonomy in one state. Other theories of a Jewish-Arab confederation exist as well. Liberal Zionists have often mostly dismissed such ideas as “fantasy.” But one of Hartman’s contributions here…

The Battle for the Meaning of Religious Freedom Day

…f religious liberty,” Marty told RD. “James Madison warned that government promotion of certain beliefs ‘degrades from the equal rank of citizens all those whose opinions in Religion do not bend to those of the Legislative authority.’” “When some politicians seek to divide us from one another by promoting certain religious beliefs at the expense of others,” he added, “it is important to speak out.” Caveat emptor The Christian right has been organi…

The Right is Deeply Divided Over Support for Israel — Though It’s Not About Justice for Palestinians

…al dark web’ author Bret Weinstein, “preparing to make a stand to save the republic from the deep state. Events in the Middle East have predictably destroyed the momentum. People who admired each other last week eye each other now with suspicion.” In a similar vein, Vivek Ramaswamy told Tucker Carlson “I do think we have a real fundamental ideological divide in the Republican Party. And we ought to have that debate in the open. I think we’re not h…

America, the Mythical: “Mother of Exiles” or Denier of Safe Haven?

…d in the many thousands were traumatized by both the collapse of the godly Republic in Commonwealth England, and the almost apocalyptic violence of the King Phillip’s War with the Wampanoag Indians, necessitating the construction of a new identity separate from that of their mother country. It’s around this time that men like Cotton Mather began to refer to white settlers as “Americans,” a designation which other colonial powers such as the Spanis…

What Will Orthodox ‘Republicanity’ Look Like?

…or those on the political left to hope for an ever-more absurdist brand of Republicanity as an easier heresy to defeat, this seems like very short-term thinking. In a larger political sense, such a development can and would be dismaying and destructive for the long-term health of our republic. The most famous phrase for which Tertullian is remembered took the form of a rhetorical question: “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” Nothing at all, he…

Newt Gingrich’s Hero, a Religion-Crushing Dictator

…aders — our NATO allies — “Islamic terrorists,” suggesting there is a deep Republican love for Ataturk, not because he championed secularism (what Ataturk’s generally known for), but because he restricted the practice of Islam. If Gingrich wants to save America from secularism, why is his hero a militantly secular founder of a European one-party state? In his victory speech tonight, Gingrich presented two Americas. His was the America of the Found…

Top 2011 Religion Stories That Weren’t

…eland, where extreme deference to the Church dates all the way back to the Republic’s founding, the prime minister now goes repeatedly before parliament to blister not just a few priests and bishops but Rome itself for massive criminality and concealment. Spain’s prime minister may have gotten the boot in November, but his Socialist government didn’t go down because it had pushed through fast-track divorce and legalized gay marriage: it only went…

Václav Havel: Democracy as Spiritual Discipline

…le still sitting president, and before Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Havel bared his mind, heart, and soul in a remarkable collection of essays written in the summer of 1991 and published in English by Knopf the following year as Summer Meditations. In contrast to Hitchens’ pyrotechnic polemics, these essays are imbued with a quiet conviction that politics should be a high moral calling.   Twenty years later, Havel’s m…

Making Fun of Mormonism

…Perry insinuated this solution. She argued that there are many reasons for Republican primary voters not to vote for Mitt Romney—many secular reasons. But his Mormonism is not one of them. Harris-Perry wants to draw a clear line between evaluating a candidate and analyzing a candidate’s faith. In a lecture at the Danforth Center this fall, E.J. Dionne proposed a different solution: limit discussions of candidate’s faith to how this faith might inf…

Darrell Issa’s Show Trial
on Alleged Obama Administration “Anti-Catholic Bias”

…going away anytime soon, though. It’s a perfect crucible for interrelated Republican cause celebres that all serve as election season fodder: that the Obama administration “promotes abortion;” that contraceptives are like a gateway drug for abortion; and that the Obama administration is depriving the Catholic Bishops of their religious liberty. But the Democrats could easily turn this around on the Republicans. Should rape victims be forced to ca…
