Messianic Failure: Pursuing the GWOT Jabberwock
Anniversaries can provide occasions for reflection and deep consideration. Past errors and misjudgements can be considered soberly; historical distance provides perspective. Mature reflections may be permitted. But they can also serve the opposite purpose: to cake, cloak and mask the record. The gooey name GWOT, otherwise known as the Global War on Terrorism, is some […]
‘You are the Zionist pioneers’ – centrist Israeli minister hails messianic settlers
Israel’s long-running settlement enterprise is about creating “facts on the ground”. The facts appear typically as “outposts” built by true believers that lack intial authorization, either on land seized by the state’s military, or simply on private Palestinian land. The question is then how to retroactively legalize the theft and how to frame it. One […]

On a tour of the Muslim holy site, the Haram-al-Sharif, in the Old City of Jerusalem yesterday, a Colorado congressman’s wife advised messianic Jews that “seizure” of the site might be the best option. “Why not tomorrow– say it’s ours!” she said to zealots on the site.

Messianic Mike Pence spouts pseudo-biblical literalism in Jerusalem
Not long ago it seemed that the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority were eager to negotiate a peace deal. Secretary of State John Kerry’s leadership of this effort from July 2013 to April 2014 will likely never be matched by the Trump administration.

‘My weekend in Palestine’ changed an Australian man’s life

He’d never been to Palestine before late 2014, but during the Gaza onslaught that summer, he began reading about the conflict in a serious way. “What […]
