While Pope Francis Ignores Christian Victims of Muslim Violence, He Focuses on Israel’s Putative Crimes in Gaza
The pope, who is known to phone Gaza every day — or did until his latest hospitalization — to see how the victims of what he once suggested is Israeli “genocide” are doing, is strangely silent on the massacres of Christians by Muslims.

Pope Francis Ignores Jihad Massacre in Church
The pope stands up for illegal aliens and terrorists, but won’t stand up for murdered Christians.

Their bodies were left there to rot by the Muslim killers who […]
Vatican says ‘the Palestinian population must remain on its land,’ calls for ‘two-state solution’
Once again, the Vatican takes no notice of the jihad against Israel, or even shows any awareness of the existence of a global Islamic jihad imperative.

Israeli Diaspora Minister Chikli Pushes Back at Anti-Israel Libels

Why the Pope is Wrong About Israel
The pope recently gave vent once again to his anti-Israel animus: “Pope Doubles Down on Criticism of Israel,” JNS, December 22, 2024: The Pope, as leader of the 1.4-billion-member Roman Catholic Church, is usually careful about taking sides in conflicts, but he has recently been more outspoken about Israel’s military campaign against Palestinian terrorist group […]
Pope Francis Again Maligns Israel for What He Calls Its ‘Cruelty’
Pope Francis has repeatedly defended Islam, claiming that “Islam is a religion of peace.” He has called on Muslims to proselytize for what he has described as the “peaceful religion of Islam,” and in his 2023 book Non Sei Solo: Sfide, Risposte, Speranze (“You Are Not Alone: Challenges, Answers, Hopes”), Francis asks Europeans to be more open to […]
Vatican ambassador to Israel summoned by Israeli Foreign Ministry over pope’s anti-Israel Gaza comments
The pope’s rhetoric is dangerous in that it emboldens and encourages terrorists who systematically spread manipulative propaganda as they take aim at Israeli civilians. While Pope Francis is playing into Hamas’ hands, nothing is more disturbing and cruel than Hamas using Palestinian children and civilians as human shields in the way of jihad. The pope […]
