Hello, I’m the editor of an Israeli on line magazine in the spirit of secular humanism.
We are searching for collaborators from throughout the world to discuss and consult of how to push forward our initiative. We invite people from the secular community (whether humanists, atheists, brights, freethinkers and alike) to join with us to the endeavor to enhance community cohesion, and to acknowledge that we need to work together to stand up for our values.
Here in the Middle East it is a tricky issue. It is very difficult to find collaborators in the surrounding countries, and I hope that through this forum I will also be able to find members from the neighboring countries.
We now work as volunteers in maintaining our site. We already had dozens of people writing to us and sharing videos that they’ve preparer to share through our sites. We cover issues from science, philosophy, and politics from the secular humanist viewpoint. We hope to be able to find some budget to enhance our activity. It would be great to hear some ideas from this forum of how we can achieve this.
Our site is now only in Hebrew, and one of the things we wanted to do it we had money for it is to translate the site also to Arabic, so we would be more inviting also for the Arab speakers in Israel (and hopefully also abroad).
Cheers
Good luck to you. One piece of advice…never ever use the term “brights”. Whoever came up with that, I’ll be honest, is an idiot. It’s condescending and actually the exact opposite of what SH is all about.
term "brights".Do help out this country bumpkin, I never heard of 'brights' - how was that arrived at? what does it mean?

oh right, google it.
Sounds pretty odd ball.
I’ve come up with a new term to describe my attitude and where I’m coming from - an Earth Centrist.
Since the Earth is the center of our existence, without her evolutionary story none of this would be here, nor we, and so on.
Physical Fact above Ego and self delusion, and all that.
Netanyahu has for the first time named ethnic cleansing of Gaza as official war aim
Richard Dawkins coined the term “Brights.” I knew it wouldn’t catch on… 
Israel slaughtered 10 aid seeking workers in Gaza
US and all other imperialist nations have never given a sh*to about human life. For them, only the end matters and any and all means are on the table to achieve the desired outcome. That the USraeli fascists can even speak about “humanitarian operations” in Gaza, given what they have and are actually doing there, shows a hitherto unknown level of Orwellian double speak and hypocrisy that would have made even Goebbels baulk.
The contradictions of the capitalist nation state system are on full display in the Gaza genocide. To save the US capitalist class, to allow them to wage aggressive war against China, they must perpetrate crimes of a similar magnitude to those of the nazis. There is no length to which they will not go to beat other nations to the prize of world hegemony
I fully agree with the first alinea.
I fully disagree about the second one.
Gaza genocide is not needed to save the capitlaist system. We are in front of a mix of pure racism, biblical ideology, and nationalism.
The US religious conservatives support Israel because they believe that the triumph of Israel is a prophetised step toward the second coming of the Christ.
One genocide at a time. Macrom warns china of NATO in asia
China is a totalitarian state, with imperialistic views on the surrounding states.
And China is practising a system i would name " state capitalism".
