The World’s Jewish Religious Community Is Not the Jewish People

Ms. Cat

I.
Let us decolonize our minds and our guts.

Let’s de-idiotize the minds, from TV to academia.

Judaism is linked to the Jewish religion, Judaism is not linked to a people.

Islam is linked to the Islamic religion, Islam is not linked to a people.

Christianity is linked to the Christian religion, Christianity is not linked to a people.

It is unfortunate to have to explain this, today in the 21st century of alleged secular values, of supposed anti-imperialist values, and of a world where we believe and feel that the anachronism of colonialism has been overcome in history….

Settler-Colonial Theology: From Lāhainā to Palestine

Ms. Cat

From grandstanding in the rubble after our fire in Lāhainā to posing on top of a tank in Palestine, Harvest pastor Greg Laurie is the poster boy for white Christianity in occupied lands. I went to Kumulani Chapel for over a decade (through its transition to Harvest). I got my undergraduate degree in religious studies… let me tell you something: this is what settler-colonial theology looks like. The corporate religion espoused by Harvest is performative and littered with internal contradictions; it is quite explicitly a demonstration of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”. As a friend of mine noted, Laurie “was one of the early Trojan horse pastors that dressed Christofascist bullshit in a hip new package”. His church serves as a superstructure to reproduce Settler-Colonial/Capitalist society.
