The War-Locks and The Hem-Locks and the The Dread-Locks: Have any of you questioned why Israelites are behaving they way they are behaving, hating, brewing hate, and harming Palestinians, bombing them, expelling them, evicting them from their homes and Palestine, usurping their homes, usurping their property, stealing with self-authorised permits and auto-biographed authorisations ? Creating Apartheid, Walls, Barriers, Discriminating, Separating, and Out-Casting Palestinians ? This is abhorrent aberrant behaviour of hating others and stealing from others ? Where are the expelled Palestinians supposed to go ? Why are the expelled families not recompensated or resettled ? Why are Israelites carrying out these barbaric crimes of hatred and Evil ? Why dont Jewish people condemn Israelites and Zionists ? Why are Jewish people and Jewish Race silent and supportive of the War crimes in Israel by Israelites and Jewry War-locks and Hem-locks ? Why don't Jewry condemn the Apartheid of Israelite Jews and JEWISH ZIONSTS ? WHY IS THEIR RACE SO SO SILENT ABOUT THESE CRIMES ?

The 2017 ban by the Russian government of the Jehovah’s Witnesses on account of their being an extremist organization has prodded religious and human rights scholars into assessing their social and legal situation in several countries in order to contextualize the rationale behind the ban.

The editors are pleased to announce the publication of Nova Religio 24, no. 1 (August 2020), which is a special issue on new religious movements in Australia, guest-edited by Bernard Doherty. Bernard Doherty contributes an in-depth survey of the four waves of “cult controversy” in Australia and the new religious movements involved. Carole M. Cusack documents the highly controversial group known as The Family led by Anne Hamilton-Byrne and its abuse of the children that Hamilton-Byrne adopted and the media coverage of the group. Angela Coco discusses another movement that has received media controversy in Australia known as Universal Medicine led by Serge Benhayon, which is part of the broad Theosophical movement. The issue also contains a review essay by Matthew Bowman on “The Birth and Life of the New Mormon History,” and twenty-two reviews and several book notes. A detailed In Memoriam written by Eileen Barker remembers the life and work of Benjamin Zablocki.
