What does it mean to be a human being?
Society + Culture
By Robert Jensen   
Balancing theological and political insights

My first venture into political activism was in the feminist movement to end men’s violence against women and men’s use of women in the sexual-exploitation industries (stripping, pornography, prostitution), grounded in a critique of the underlying conception of what it means to be a man that most of us have been socialized to accept:

Yearning for a Minyan
Society + Culture
By Gilad Atzmon   

America is a very interesting place at the moment, especially for Palestinian solidarity activists. The emerging conflict between the current Administration and the Israeli government is not exactly a secret anymore. The images of Israeli youngsters calling Obama ‘F**k Head’, ‘S**t Head’ and ‘Ni**er’ are rather effective PR materials at the hands of the friends of Palestine and it seems as if the Israelis are aware of it.

If 9/11 Changed Everything, Why Did Oklahoma City Change Nothing?
Society + Culture
By MWC News   

In 1995, more than 160 people were killed in the Oklahoma City bombing.  Right-wing talk show hosts blamed Middle Eastern terrorists, “towelheads“, as they put it, for the deadly act.  Of course, it turned out they were absolutely wrong–the main culprit was Timothy McVeigh, a radical anti-government extremist with ties to the militia movement.
