*** Adam Gregerman Tablet, Nov. 19, 2024 “Francis, with rare exceptions, ignores or minimizes the nature of the threats faced by Israel. Despite the avowed goals of Israel’s enemies, he never acknowledges this as distinctly genocidal in intent.” Pope Francis has called for an investigation to determine if Israel’s operation in Gaza constitutes genocide, according to […]
Julian Schvindlerman Times of Israel, Nov. 19, 2024 “It is worth noting that the Italian version of this speech published at the Vatican website contained the word “terrorist” just before “attack,” whereas the English version omitted it. The Pope chose not to name Hamas explicitly, but stated “my condemnation of this act.”” “According to […]
Doug Saunders The Globe and Mail, Mar. 16, 2013 “Though Father Bergoglio was known to care for the poor, he had always opposed these more radical movements.

Michael Shellenberger Real Clear Politics, Nov. 7, 2024 “… if anybody really wants to understand why so many of us—even if we have our criticisms of Trump—feel relief and vindication at his victory, they need to consider that it has more to do with the repudiation of totalitarianism than with Trump as a person […]
Warren Zev Harvey The Omni-American Review, Vol. 1, 2024, no date “It is time to break with the lachrymose theory of [Jewish] woe, and to adopt a view more in accord with historic truth.” He forcefully rejected as untrue the dominant view among scholars which saw Jewish history as nothing but a bleak succession of […]
Melanie Phillips Substack, Nov. 20, 2024 “… it was hatred of Jews; and hatred of Jews seems to be a non-hate thing altogether.” According to The Times (UK £), doctors, vicars, social workers and other professionals have been investigated by the police for “non-crime hate incidents”. Oh — so too have nine year-olds. Eh? Say again?! […]
Gary Saul Morson Commentary, July/Aug. 2024 “Today we can ask: Why do so many cheer, or at least not object, when they witness mobs embracing the bloodthirsty and sadistic Hamas? Perhaps for the same reasons that young, pre-revolutionary Russians once celebrated terrorists who murdered innocent citizens?” Western intellectuals expected that novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, once […]

Nadav Shragai Israel Hayom, Nov. 14, 2024 “Erdogan’s congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump on his victory should remind the American president of Turkey’s deceptive overtures to Israel just two years ago.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan‘s support for Hamas and hostility toward Israel have reached a critical point, with Turkey providing sanctuary to Hamas operatives while […]
Sinan Ciddi Washington Examiner, Nov. 16, 2024 “Erdogan’s championing of Hamas is entrenched. Turkey is the only country inside the NATO alliance and, certainly, the only U.S. ally that openly embraces Hamas as a group of “resistance fighters.”” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan feels he has reason to be optimistic. He was bracing for the election of Vice President Kamala […]
