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

By Ben Lorber

…tions…in every state in the Union,” as well as “the highest reaches of the United States government,” where they form an “active cabal of Jew-haters, Israel-haters, and America-haters in Washington.” The goal of this shadowy network? To “sow internal dissension and generate enough political pressure…to compel the United States government to change its long-standing policy of support for Israel”—along with a “parallel goal of eliminating capitalism…

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

…tism function as a centerpiece of the Right’s political project, either in coded forms through ideas like the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory, or in explicit forms found amongst neo-Nazis. “We find overt antisemitic attitudes are rare on the left but common on the right,” wrote Eitan Hersh and Laura Royden in their 2023 study analyzing antisemitism “across the ideological spectrum.” This is consistent with the findings of just about every ot…

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…

Already Beatified by the Right for Surviving an Assassination Attempt, Must We All Pray for Donald Trump?

By Daniel Schultz

…deed. So if it takes the former president many more years of golf in Saudi Arabia (or another, similar nation without an extradition treaty) to ensure that these concerns about democracy are addressed well then so be it. I’m not above a bit of strategic prayer (and whether you’re a praying person or not, I hope you’re not either). One of my touchstone thinkers, Walter Brueggemann, calls prayer “the theological imagination of the community”—which g…

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

By Annika Brockschmidt

During a 1977 series of interviews (for which he was paid handsomely), Richard Nixon, responding to journalist David Frost’s question about Watergate, uttered these fateful words: “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” At the time, almost everyone in the legal profession, from lawyers to judges, firmly rejected the premise that the president was above the law. In fact, it was 50 years ago this month—July of 1974—that the…

Trump’s Fervent Christian Zionists Poised to Lead the Military — And US-Israel Relations

By Ben Lorber

…, linking 1776 and 1948, is core to the Christian Zionist imaginary of the United States and Israel as twin ‘shining cities on a hill’ (to paraphrase Reagan, who borrowed it from Puritan John Winthrop), charged with a crusade to save the West. Hegseth summed it up in a March 2019 speech at the annual gala of the National Council of Young Israel, an Orthodox Jewish organization—“Zionism and Americanism are the frontlines for Western civilization an…

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…

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

By Robert P. Jones

Last week’s historic verdict is worth rehearsing. On May 30, Donald J. Trump became the first former president to be convicted of a crime. Twelve ordinary citizens unanimously found Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an attempt to conceal hush money he paid to a porn star with whom he allegedly had an affair—all driven by a desire to protect his 2016 presidential campaign. Following the verdict, Speaker of the Hous…

…bo praised the Obama administration’s “very beneficial” diplomatic efforts promoting LGBT human rights and slammed American evangelicals who continue to promote anti-gay attitudes and policies. The U.S. last summer cut aid to Uganda and imposed a travel ban against officials in the African country who are responsible for anti-LGBT and other human rights abuses. The Center for Constitutional Rights in 2012 filed a federal lawsuit against Scott Live…

Gambian Prez Rails Against Gay ‘Evil Empire’; Irish Priest Comes Out During Mass; Trans Talk on Tunisian TV Sparks Debate; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…to be a man; in the way I think, the way I speak, and the way I walk.” Al Arabiya reported that homosexuality is a criminal offense in Tunisia. In a traditionally Muslim country, which is also known to be one of the Arab world’s most progressive, Jalel’s story sparked mixed reactions on social media. “These are lies. God created her as female and her name is Leila. She rejected her femininity and she is going to be punished for this on Judgment D…
