False Saviors: Trump, Cruz, and the Gospel of the Quick Fix

By Marcia Pally

…roblems is not new: one finds parallels in the appeal of fascism in Weimar Germany, crippled by war reparations, sky-rocketing inflation, and an economy in free-fall. Or in the appeal of ISIS: people suffering economic free-fall and dictatorial suppression or, in the developed world, inadequate education and prejudice. Alienation is the equal opportunity killer, reaching even those who have productive futures, especially when they see prejudice or…

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

By Annika Brockschmidt

…’t allowed into the United States, so they brought the U.S. congressmen to Germany for von Gienanth’s great insights. Now, how do I say that’s not fascism? The Family to this day says, to understand Jesus, look at Hitler, look at Stalin, look at Mao. What they liked is authoritarianism and strength. They said Jesus is an iron fist. The particular nature of the iron fist—is this a fascist fist?—not as important. And in fact, in that book I argued t…

The Story of a Post-Holocaust Group Seeking Revenge Against Nazis is Part of the Story of Israel Itself

By Shane Burley

…Europe and carry with him canisters of poison that could be smuggled into Germany for his eventual, Plan B attack. For his part, David Ben-Gurion (who allegedly met with Kovner) saw revenge as being of little importance in comparison to the formation of the state, something that undergirded every choice, and compromise, he made. Necessary revenge Porat, former Chief Historian of Israel’s Holocaust museum, Yad Vashem, holds the Nokmim in a sentime…

Decadence, Sickness, and Death: Mourning and the Israel-Hamas War

By Shaul Magid

…ocities was both shocking and totally predictable. It was also wrong. Nazi Germany was a country with an army, a police, and an economy. Hamas is a violent terrorist organization born in occupation with no formal military and relatively few resources. Israel is a first-world country with a high-powered military and nuclear weapons. Even if they were brutally victimized, Israelis in Tel Aviv are not the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and they’re not liv…

With ‘Vermin’ Remark Trump Crosses Fully into Nazi Territory

By Robert P. Jones

…tamination of the blood.” Mein Kampf also characterizes the real threat to Germany as enemies within the country: “For never in our history have we been conquered by the strength of our outside enemies but only through our own failings and the enemy in our own camp.” And again: “The strength of a nation lies, first of all, not in its arms but in its will, and that before conquering the external enemy the enemy at home would have to be eliminated.”…

At the UN, Conservative Christian Agenda Cloaked in Human Rights Language

By Austin Dacey

…use. Slater’s Family Watch International (FWI) has been deeply involved in promoting abstinence-and fidelity-only initiatives in Uganda and has praised Nigeria—where same-sex couples can face up to 14 years in prison or stoning at the hands of Sharia courts—as “a strong role model” for other regional governments “on how to hold on to their family values despite intense international pressure.” The Human Rights Campaign has reported that FWI’s annu…

Both the Joy and the Uproar Over the Pope’s Blessings for LGBTQ Catholics are Small Potatoes Compared to this Age-Old Church Problem

By Mary E. Hunt

…n guidelines. Since some priests are blessing same-sex couples—famously in Germany whose economic prowess makes it a serious threat to Rome—the Declaration is an old Vatican face- and power-saving practice. What’s less clear is why the blesser of relationships that are not eligible for the Sacrament of Marriage needs to be an ordained cleric. After all, in traditional Catholic theology it’s the two (heterosexual) people who marry who are the ordin…

ISIS, ISIL or Daesh? Either Way, Obama Gets it Right

By Haroon Moghul

…ost of the people on the ground fighting ISIS are Muslim. This is not Nazi Germany, where a state was co-opted by an extremist fascist movement, and willingly followed along. ISIS only has a state because Iraq’s and Syria’s governments lost control of their territory. In no place have Muslims voted for ISIS. In no places would they. While some have joined them—and this is a serious problem, of course—let us not forget that these criminals are grea…

Well, the Harris-Trump Debate Happened — Now Enjoy Your Freedom and Choose Wisely

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…re overshadowed by talk of China, Russia, Venezuela, Mexico, Israel, Iran, Germany, Ukraine, Afghanistan, the Middle East, Yemen, and those faceless “migrants” coming from countries where, according to Trump, violence is actually down (due, we’re left to assume, to their departure). You see, Harris touted that there were no “American military boots on the ground around the world,” as though the US doesn’t have a whopping 750 military bases in at l…
