Op-Ed: I Am Not Antisemitic

By JODY BENSON
Los Alamos

I am not antisemitic.

No, I am not antisemitic even though I stand against Israel’s decimation of Gaza.

I attest to the fact that Hamas, elected in 2006, is a totalitarian regime whose military wing the US has designated a terrorist organization.

I attest Hamas does not recognize Israel, and that since 1993, it has committed suicide bombings on Israel in retribution against the Israeli 1967 occupation of both Gaza and the West Bank.

I attest that on October 7, 2023, Hamas led other Palestinian militant nationalist groups in a terrorist attack in the Gaza Envelope that killed Read More

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Several years ago saw the tragic spectacle of one of the iconic cathedrals in the world and symbol of medieval France—the magnificent Notre Dame in Paris—wholly aflame … its soaring spire engulfed and toppling into the inferno as if the Satan himself had opened his contemptible maw to consume this gem of beauty … this jewel of Christianity. Truly a time to weep.

But this weekend saw world leaders in collective thanksgiving as they attended the re-opening ceremonies after years of intensive renovation … on the eve of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Read More

On the second Sunday of Advent our churches read in the Gospel of Luke (ch. 3) about the one sent to announce the coming of the Lord. In this passage, John the Baptist enters the scene, clothed in camel skins, a man living rough who knows something we do not: the Lord is coming, and we need to get ready.

What does it mean for 21st century people of faith to “get ready for Read More
