A foundational verse for Christian supporters of Israel and the Jewish people is Genesis 12:3. God says to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you.” If you question whether that verse is about blessing Israel, I would point out that it was a promise directed to the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—who God renamed Israel. It is speaking of both the nation and the children of Israel.

A chilling video circulating online shows a young woman being pinned against the floor of an airport as Spanish police place her in handcuffs, manhandling her in the process.
The video has drawn condemnation not only because of what it shows, but also because of what led to the incident: the removal of 44 French Jewish teenagers the woman was supervising from a European flight, allegedly for the crime of speaking Hebrew.

When Democrats want to slam their political opponents, they resort to a kind of linguistic reductionism. Everyone to their right is a neocon, or alt right, or MAGA, or a Christian nationalist, or whatever the popular term of art is at the moment.
Republicans have the opposite problem. For years, they’ve used “liberal,” “leftist,” and progressive” interchangeably. Today things are even further obfuscated by more specific but still somewhat vague concepts like “DEI,” and of course, the ever-evocative but incredibly diffuse “woke.”

Earlier this week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that he would be overhauling yet another aspect of the military: the Chaplain Corps.
On Tuesday, Hegseth explained a directive that will effectively overhaul the United States Chaplain Corps, “the spiritual and moral backbone of our nation’s forces” that, for hundreds of years, “ministered” to the “souls” of American servicemen and women, as he explained in the video.

Despite outcry from Church leaders and Conservative MPs, the Canadian Parliament on Tuesday passed an alarming amendment to remove long-standing religious protections from the country’s hate speech laws.
The ruling Liberal Party joined the Bloc Québécois in voting to approve the amendment, which removed text from the Canadian Criminal Code regarding hate crimes. The now-deleted text provided a religious exemption: “if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian-focused religious education and collective worship taught in Northern Ireland’s state-funded primary schools is unlawful.
The decision upholds a 2022 High Court judgement which found that the subject is not delivered in an objective, critical and pluralistic way.
The case was brought by a non-religious father and his daughter, who argued that the curriculum and lack of a genuine alternative breached their human rights. The court said withdrawing children from RE or collective worship is not an adequate safeguard, especially when it may lead to pupils feeling singled out or excluded.

Is calling a “transgender” person by their “deadname” or objecting to a man in a woman’s restroom sexual harassment? Well, the University of California thinks so—and they are trying to make sure all of their students also think so by including such ideology in mandatory sexual harassment and anti-discrimination training.
This training, called SHAPE (Sexual Harassment, Anti-Discrimination, Prevention and Education), is a prerequisite for registering for classes at several University of California campuses, including UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UC Irvine.
