Antisemitism is on the rise in the United States. Where did antisemitism in the U.S. come from? What is its history? Once per day for as long as it takes, I'll be summing up one segment from RRCHNM's Antisemitism, U.S.A. podcast.
Here's the trailer:

What Would Buber Say? Martin Buber's philosophy of dialogue, as expounded in his master work "I and Thou," is exceedingly relevant in this moment. ICJS #Jewish Scholar Ben Sax breaks it down in this 11 1/2-minute video: youtu.be/AT6wEZfotVI?...

If you missed "Now What? Debriefing the 2024 Election," with @sarahposner.bsky.social and @amandatylerbjc.bsky.social, here's the video. Well worth a watch for their views on how we can respond to the threat of #authoritarianism. With ICJS' @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg5Z...

Pete #Hegseth's SecDef nomination has brought attention to his ties to far right Christian groups that advocate for a new #Christendom & embrace Crusader imagery (see
@matthewdtaylor.bsky.social thread). This ICJS video explores the meaning behind #Crusader imagery. youtu.be/PbiCYm1j4OU?...
Pete Hegseth, Trump's declared nominee for Secretary of Defense, is not only a Fox News personality or veterans advocate. He also has deep ties & affinities w/ the Christian far-right, especially the Hyper-Calvinist "theo bros."

"If you believe your political opponents are inspired by demons, there is no compromise with demons. Part of what’s fueling the extreme polarization in American politics today are the politics of spiritual warfare." —
