The two leading religion reporters at New York Times refuse even to use the term "Christian nationalism." Lots of establishment Democrats want to ignore the religious and racial roots of Trump's support and to suppress this discussion.
Wajahat says:
"Robbie, you know that you and I get backlash. So like, no, no, don't say Christian nationalism, say religious nationalism."

Hegseth the Crusader: The Trump Administration's Holy War
A recording from Robert P. Jones and THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali's live videoRobert P. Jones (Redeeming Democracy by Robert P. Jones)
"By bombing Iran, America has 'recovered its position as leader of the free world' while Israel 'has rediscovered its biblical warrior identity and has become the regional superpower in the Middle East.'
In support of this new order, messianic Orthodox and secular nationalist Israeli ideologies meet with Christian nationalist views. ...
There is one party that will benefit from the war: Russia."

"In the fantasy of the far right, the United States and Israel are making history and saving civilization. British commentator Melanie Phillips sees the war as 'the likely birth of a new world order pivoted around that alliance between America and Israel.'”

"Parents who had sent their daughters to school discovered minutes later that classrooms had become mass graves. ...
On Monday, a BBC investigation produced evidence of multiple US Tomahawk missiles fired and landing in the vicinity of the school, hitting, they believe, the school itself, as well as a medical clinic reportedly belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)."

"The killing of a reported 168 people, primarily schoolgirls, in the bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab in Iran has shaken to its very core the conscience of the world.
The attack, carried out nearly two weeks ago when classes were under way, reduced the school building to rubble."

Children killed, a school turned into a graveyard: even in wartime, we can’t accept this
There are rules and world leaders must insist they be honoured in practice and in spirit. After this atrocity in Iran, a more effective tribunal for crimes against children is essential, says former prime minister Gordon BrownGordon Brown (The Guardian)
"Today, that story collapsed.
Reuters, NPR, CNN, PBS NewsHour, and the New York Times all independently confirmed the same preliminary finding from an internal US military investigation: a US Tomahawk struck the school, likely because the Pentagon was using outdated targeting data."

"For nearly two weeks, the US said it wasn’t responsible [for the killing of Iranian schoolchildren in Minab]. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that it was 'done by Iran' and called Tomahawk missiles 'very generic.' Defense Secretary Hegseth said the US 'never targets civilians.' The White House said anyone claiming otherwise was being 'irresponsible and false.'”

'I think you could say both,' Trump replied.
