The Holocaust and 9/11 Museums: A Tale of Two Controversial Films

By Todd Fine

…he better approach. The civil rights organizations—Sikh, Arab, Muslim, and South Asian—now critical of the 9/11 Museum’s decisions have more at stake than Christian groups did during the “Antisemitism” film controversy. At that time, Robert Royal, vice president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, explained the general ambivalence: “As far as criticism of Christianity, we’re not as sensitive because, maybe, we tend to feel, Christianity has la…

How 95% of Jewish Israelis Support a ‘Plausible’ Genocide

By Zachary Foster

…ake “all measures in its power” to prevent acts of genocide. They accepted South Africa’s claim that, at first glance, although not a final verdict, Israel’s words and actions appear genocidal. Jewish Israelis, however, see things differently: 95% of Jewish Israelis believed the Israeli military had used either the “appropriate” amount of force or “too little” force in Gaza, according to a mid-January 2024 poll. That’s 95% support for a plausible…

It’s Not the Name It’s the Theocratic Vision — THE NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION’S PR PROBLEM

By Frederick Clarkson

…th, Texas-based Kelly claims the global movement, especially in the global South “is “growing at a very, very strong rate… in spite of all the accusations regarding the NAR and so forth.” He also claims that a major source of American apostolic church growth comes from Latin American migrants—many of whom are Pentecostal. He argues that their strongest national coalitions are in countries where there is “persecution against the church.” Interestin…

Uncovering the (White) Christian Roots of Slavery, Native American Genocide, and Ongoing Efforts to Erase History

By Bradley Onishi

…So even the Declaration of Independence has this phrase about “merciless [Indian] savages.” The Constitution explicitly excludes Native Americans from the rights in that document. How was the Doctrine of Discovery used against Native Americans in the Mississippi Delta? I begin with Emmett Till, and his murder in Mississippi. He was born in 1941, but his story begins 400 years before that with Hernando de Soto, the Spanish conquistador, showing up…

Why Don’t White People Show Up For Juneteenth The Way They Showed Up For George Floyd?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…e numbers. This month I attended two Juneteenth festivals in the Columbia, South Carolina metropolitan area and the results were the same: minimum White attendance. Both events were free to the public, with ideal weather and plenty of good food and entertainment. Whereas a cross-section of Black America was in attendance, Whites stuck out like rice in chocolate pudding. But those who did attend appeared to share some interesting commonalities: mix…

The Death of a Black Man at the Hands of Black Officers Unveiled Something More Complex Than Whiteness

By Willie Dwayne Francois

…operates as a cardinal project of police culture. The police forces in the South originally organized to patrol slaves—Black people running for their freedom and safety from state-honored violence known as chattel slavery. In fact, U.S. policing started in Boston to control poor Irish immigrants; in the South to maintain the slavocracy; and in the Midwest to intimidate Native Americans into a unique form of segregation. The anti-Black, anti-immigr…

By Ben Lorber

…f genocide at the hands of the vengeful Black majority in a post-apartheid South Africa. Later that day, Zephyr Institute Research Fellow Nathan Pinkoski opens his talk on “Catholicism and the Necessity of Nationalism” with an extended meditation on French writer Jean Raspail’s Camp of the Saints, the 1973 novel, beloved by Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, that dramatizes the fear of the ‘great replacement’ of white Europeans through non-white imm…

Breaking Up With Marilynne Robinson Over Her Refusal to Acknowledge the Dark Side of Puritanism

By Peter Laarman

…the general pattern of freedom for us/unfreedom for others is of apartheid South Africa, where a notoriously brutal regime that, just like New England, saw itself as a “New Israel,” survived until 1990. This is the darker side of Calvinism that Robinson has seldom if ever discussed, and it would really help her case for Calvinist “liberality” if she could also acknowledge the shadow side. For example, she might consider asking the Irish what they…

‘How Pentecostal Christianity Is Taking Over the World’: An Interview with Author Elle Hardy

By Katherine Stewart

…Spiritual Warfare, and it’s hugely influential, particularly in the global south. It’s changed politics around the world. In Nigeria, for instance, it has significant political sway. In order to get the support of powerful preachers, political figures (even Muslims) have accepted that the world is defined as a spiritual battle between good and evil. How is the Pentecostal idea of spiritual battle substantially unique? This kind of demonology allow…

Turn on the News: Why Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Faith Doesn’t Matter (But Amy Coney Barrett’s Did)

By Daniel Schultz

…of the weirder moments in the proceedings came when Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina asked Jackson about her faith, pressing her for specifics before abruptly inquiring if she could fairly judge a Catholic. Jackson looked stunned, as though he had asked about her feelings on UFOs. Graham pushed on, wanting to know exactly how important the judge’s faith was to her, asking her to rate it on a scale and how often she attended church. Jackson re…
