How Israeli Military Intelligence Cooks the Books

By Richard Silverstein

…along. That he and his Fatah cohort pre-planned the intifada in order to extract their pound of flesh from Israel and better their negotiating position. Internal military intelligence documents reveal this political line as a total fraud. Here Eldar relates Sharon’s 2005 unilateral policy in Gaza to Camp David: According to Lavie, the conception that left room solely for unilateral moves and a policy of brute force did not originate with Sharon….

Conservative Judge Suing ‘Daily Beast’ for ‘QAnon-linked’ Headline Thought QAnon Pod Was ‘Aimed at Christian Audience’ — Spoiler: It Was

By Chrissy Stroop

…courts to decide. I’m no lawyer or legal expert, so my opinions on such matters should of course be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, I would absolutely not bet in Judge Patrick’s favor, knowing what we do about her fondness for conspiratorial and explicitly QAnon-linked “prophets” and the broader interplay between QAnon conspiracies and conservative Christian beliefs in American society. On the other hand, given the number of judges D…

A Queer New Year

By Peter Montgomery

…efforts by proving that children raised by intact mom-and-dad families do better than kids raised by two loving moms or dads. It won’t matter that the study didn’t do that. Blamers Also a safe bet: natural disasters like Hurricane-Superstorm Sandy will continue to be chalked up to God’s anger at the advance of gay rights. So will tragedies like the mass murder of students and educators at Sandy Hook elementary school. But those blamers will sound…

Can Expelled Teach Us a Thing or Two?

By Arri Eisen

…which are not and why, if we relate these ideas to the students’ own life experiences, what will happen? Actually, the experiment already has been done in public high school science classrooms. And the results: students learn to appreciate science, its value, and how it works without rejecting or having to choose one worldview or another, and they learn the relevant science better than in a traditional science classroom. Is it worth rethinking sci…

Does NIH Head Francis Collins Believe in Intelligent Design?

By Eric Reitan

…happiness achieve it. But there’s a tension in the natural order of things between what promotes happiness and what morality demands. Hence, unless there is a supernatural order of things bringing happiness to the morally good, the highest good is little more than a pipe dream. But reason demands that it be more than a pipe dream. And so reason demands that we posit a supernatural power. Put simply, we have to suppose that moral heroes who risk th…

The Deadly Burqini, Or, What Exactly is an “Islamic Swimsuit”?

By Shabana Mir

…ainst those offences. In my opinion, given how I perceive swimsuits, it’s extremely unfair and sexist to require women to dress in such attire. The choice to wear a burqini, or long swim shorts, or such swim attire should be equal rather than either banned or inferior among choices in a pluralistic society. The only conditions should be floatability, safety and hygiene. Aesthetic considerations for women’s swimsuits are anti-feminist and Muslim wo…

After Roe: 3 Troubling Trends from the ‘Compassionate’ Anti-Abortion Crowd

By Robert Repino

…we couldn’t understand why someone in his position could waste time with tax codes when there were so many babies to save. By the end of the session, our local representative was visibly shaken. I wonder whether he ever agreed to speak at a parochial school again. That episode has been at the front of my mind since news broke of the Dobbs decision, “among the Court’s worst decisions in history.” While there would never be a good time for the Supre…

The End of My Line: It’s Okay to Embrace The ‘Covid Baby Bust’

By Monica Byrne

…fluorescent lights as she held me open and slid an IUD up through my cervix. She’d showed it to me before she put it in: a tiny copper cross. My salvation. After the appointment, I drove home crying, but couldn’t say why. This was exactly what I’d wanted. I felt the IUD smoldering inside me like a live coal, neither good nor bad, just hot. It seemed to say, What a thing you’ve done, to divert biology to your will! Who do you think you are? Well,…

By Luke Ssemakula

…angelicals have appeared to make some impact on democratization: Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile, and Peru in Latin America; Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and South Africa in Africa; and, China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, and the Philippines in Asia.

Global Anti-Gay Forces Plot Against ‘Satanic’ Equality Movement

By Peter Montgomery

…rt Continues Approving Gay Couples’ Marriages Marriage is legal for same-sex couples in Mexico City. Couples in other states have won court declarations in “amparos” cases that their states must treat their marriages as legal. There are reportedly about 30 such cases pending before the Supreme Court. This week the Mexican Supreme Court ruled in favor of a couple from the state of Colima; after more cases from the state go through the same process,…
