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

By Shaul Magid

…country. It has accomplished an enormous amount in a short time. But the “Arab Question” or the “Palestinian Problem” as it used to be called, remains. And given Israel’s political inclinations, it’s becoming less relevant because the Right has essentially crushed Palestinian aspirations, or pushed them to a breaking point. It wrongly thinks the Palestinians will be wrestled into submission. That they will give up. But zero-sum games are rarely s…

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

By Shane Burley

…eated a culture of performative revenge through “paycheck attacks” against Arabs, which is supposed to raise the cost of living for Arabs in a land that Jewish militants believe was given to them by God. Figures like Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh take a radically literal read of kabbalah (which Shaul Magid calls “messianic realism”), asserting that a kind of cataclysm, which could be read as politically motivated violence, is necessary…

White House Antisemitism Report Includes Encouraging Diagnoses — But Leans on Destructive Strategies

By Habiba Farh and Ben Lorber

…hobia and other bigotry. On September 15, 2022, President Biden hosted the United We Stand Summit at the White House to announce new strategies and funding to counter violence, extremism, and “hate.” While many activists and communities welcomed this news, the announcement used vocabulary that has been historically utilized by DHS and other law enforcement agencies to justify the surveillance and policing of “suspect” communities. Progressive orga…

Did You Read About Conservative Judaism’s Anti-Black Antisemitic Smearing of Hebrew Israelites? Neither Did I

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…good will with purposeful misinformation. I fully respect the right of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism to say who qualifies as a Conservative Jew or as clergy in their affiliated congregations. There’s nothing objectionable about either of these concerns if the USCJ likewise would frown upon an Orthodox, Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal, or Humanistic (did I leave anyone out) ordained rabbi from also serving in the same capacity as…

What Did Kyrie Say That Was So Wrong? When Black Antisemitism Meets White Jewish Privilege

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…cademic discussion in linguistics engaged in a conversation about Semites? Arabic being the most widely spoken Semitic language is (once again outside of linguistics) rarely discussed in the context of its identification as a Semitic language, and Arabic speakers are not generally described principally as “Semites.” Let’s call this notion of Semites: “linguistic Semite-ness.” In response to the assertion “Jews ain’t the only Semites” we must admit…

Book Bannings Are Bad Enough, But Where Those Involved Are Considered Demonic, the Stakes Could Get Much Higher

By Frederick Clarkson

…onvert, or else be killed or expelled. It’s a tragic love story between an Arab man and a Moroccan woman who’s forced to convert from Islam to Christianity in Granada, Spain in 1492. Significantly less well known than Heine’s famous quote is the fact that the play centers around the burning of a Qur’an. That act prompts the famous sentence that’s now engraved on a plaque in Berlin’s Opera Square where, in 1933, some 40,000 people gathered to watch…

I’d Rather Go Back to Yemen than Face NYPD

By Hussein Rashid

…Take this passage on page 10, for example: [W]here the NYPD was spying in Arab neighborhoods with sizeable populations of Syrian Jews and Egyptian Christians, the intelligence unit explicitly focused on the Muslim populations. The surveillance was going on at a time when a (non-Muslim) Syrian community in Brooklyn was being investigated by the FBI for ties to organ trafficking and political corruption, yet the NYPD was not involved. When Muslims…

Forget History Channel’s The Bible, Meet Omar

By Haroon Moghul

…on. Considering how sensitive the sectarian environment has become in the Arab world, that’s an understandable decision. But how are these differences in interpretation, controversial episodes, and disputed legacies going to be affected by the pop culture serialization of history? Ultimately, Omar is religious entertainment, a sign that at the end of the day we all like stories—especially after we’ve eaten too much and it’s too much of a jihad t…

Palestinian Orthodox Christians, Desperate for Help, Have Caught the Attention of Russia

By Katherine Kelaidis

…he seized hotel. The vast majority of Christians in Israel are Palestinian Arabs, although they make up a small minority among Palestinians as a whole. Their status as a minority within a minority has been a source of significant difficulty for Arab Christians, and the sizable wealth of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem has made it a target for both the Israeli government and Palestinian Authority. In 2020, an Israeli District Court rul…

Make no Mistake, if There’s a War Between Russia and Ukraine, it Will be a Religious War

By Katherine Kelaidis

…frequently in opposition to, its powerful allure. As the uprisings of the Arab Spring suggested, the conflicts of the early 21st century weren’t a “clash of civilizations,” but a clash within a civilization, the crescendo of a 40-year conflict. This same drama is being played out within Orthodox Christianity at this very moment. Just like Muslims, Orthodox Christians have spent the better part of the modern age in an uncomfortable dance with the…
