A new ‘Color Purple’ adaptation hits theaters, returning author Alice Walker’s history of antisemitism to spotlight
The bright, colorful movie musical “The Color Purple,” which opens in theaters on Christmas, tells a story that has by now become a familiar part of the American canon — of a young Black woman’s self-empowerment and discovery of her own sexuality amid the horrific, abusive conditions of her life in the early-1900s rural South.
It’s far from the first time Americans have heard the story of Celie, the protagonist of Alice Walker’s novel “The Color Purple.” Walker’s novel debuted in 1982 and received rave reviews, the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Three years later, it was adapted into a dramatic film directed by Steven Spielberg. This new version is an adaptation of a 2005 stage musical, which itself was reworked for a successful 2015 revival.
But even as the reputation of “The Color Purple” has soared over the decades, Walker’s own has become more muddled — specifically for her difficult relationship to Judaism and her outright flirtations with antisemitism. Married to a prominent Jewish civil rights lawyer when she was younger, Walker in the mid-2010s began promoting works by an antisemitic conspiracy theorist and authored an antisemitic poem of her own.
This combined with her longtime outspoken criticism of Israel has led some in the Jewish community to question her continued stature as a well-regarded figure of American letters and led to her being disinvited from a major book festival just last year.

Billionaire Peter Thiel Regrets Supporting Trump For President In 2016
In an interview with Barton Gellman of The Atlantic, Thiel, who is the co-founder of PayPal, stated that he hoped that voting for Trump would bring about improvements in the country but ultimately felt disillusioned and let down.
He compared voting for Trump to a plea for assistance that had not been well articulated.
“There are a lot of things I got wrong. It was crazier than I thought. It was more dangerous than I thought. They couldn’t get the most basic pieces of the government to work. So that was—I think that part was maybe worse than even my low expectations,” he said.

Phil Vischer, the co-creator of the popular faith-based children’s cartoon series “Veggie Tales,” has joined atheist actor, director and producer Rob Reiner in a forthcoming film aimed at criticizing Christians and characterizing them as a danger to the country.
Reiner, who starred as the much-reviled Michael “Meathead” Stivic in the 1970s TV sitcom “All in the Family,” is pushing a shockumentary titled “God and Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism,” set to be released early next year.
The film, whose trailer was released Thursday, portrays Christians as supporting a dangerous, militant, hate-filled movement that threatens American democracy.

From director Dan Partland and producer Rob Reiner, GOD & COUNTRY looks at the
implications of Christian Nationalism and how it distorts not only our constitutional
republic, but Christianity itself. Featuring prominent Christian thought leaders, GOD &
COUNTRY asks this question: What happens when a faith built on love, sacrifice, and
forgiveness grows political tentacles, conflating power, money, and belief into
hyper-nationalism?
Directed by Dan Partland. Produced by Rob & Michele Reiner.
