Editorial Board WSJ, Nov. 19, 2024 “The complicated papal history with the Nazis during World War II should give the Vatican reason to be careful making anti-Israel pronouncements.” Pope Francis has written a new book to mark the 2025 jubilee. In an excerpt from “Hope Never Disappoints” that has generated headlines, he proposes a “careful investigation” […]
*** 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. But, like a large number of colleagues, he was silent on the military junta.” In Rome, he has made his start as the mild-mannered, bus-riding, collegial pontiff […]

Ruthie Blum JNS, Nov. 10, 2024 “What have Biden (who boasts of being a “Zionist” at heart), Blinken (himself a Jew) or Vice President Kamala Harris (who’s married to a Jew) done to quash antisemitism in the “land of the free and the brave”?” An Israeli broadcast journalist reporting on world leaders who condemned the […]
Gabby Deutch Jewish Insider, Oct. 14, 2024 “This is a very well-meaning effort. But the writing process was a little bit one-sided and not terribly iterative. And also, while I do believe that left-wing antisemitism is a larger systemic problem, the fact that it doesn’t touch right-wing antisemitism is, I think, a mistake, because of […]
Michal Cotler-Wunsh The Hill, Nov. 10, 2024 “Antisemitism, a lethal shape-shifting hate, is a predictor for the collapse of all the spaces and places where it spreads.” In the midst of a raging war of authoritarian regimes and their proxies on civilization, at an existential moment in an algorithmic world rife with conflict, fear, despair and distrust, […]

REWARDING TERROR WATCH: Eylon Levy Testifies at the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs: Eylon Levy, YouTube, Nov. 1, 2024 Canadian Government Speaking With Allies About Palestinian Statehood Recognition, Official Tells MPs: Raffy Boudjikanian, CBC News, Nov. 8, 2024 — Ottawa has been speaking with like-minded countries about recognizing a Palestinian state, a government official told […]
Deborah Lyons, Irwin Cotler and Noah Lew Globe and Mail, Nov. 11, 2024 “Canadians of conscience – which we believe most Canadians are – see this surging hate and are eager to be part of the solution, but don’t always have the tools to do so.” By now, many Canadians are aware of the epidemic of antisemitism […]

Jim Geraghty National Review, Oct. 7, 2024 “If your lone measuring stick of geopolitical events was the reaction of American college students, you would think that (a) the October 7 massacre and mass rapes were a minor provocation, not even worth much discussion, and (b) the Israeli military response to that massacre is a greater […]

Alistair Heath The Telegraph, Sept. 18, 2024 “Western foreign policy is a mishmash of cowardice, delusion and contradictions.” Robbed of its moral bearings, bereft of any sense of right and wrong, incapable of distinguishing heroes from villains, the West can no longer celebrate when good triumphs over evil. Israel’s brilliantly audacious booby-trapping of thousands of […]
