Your Excellency,
I am seeking clarity, because what is being implied here is deeply concerning for Christians.
Under the IHRA definition, denying the Jewish people a right to self-determination, even stating that the modern State of Israel is a historical and political movement rather than a divine mandate, is now called antisemitism. It also includes this example: “Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.”
Under this framework, if a people’s right to self-determination is perceived to be threatened, does that mean they are justified in using unlimited force, even against the innocent, in the name of preserving it? Because the Church is clear that no nation has the right to do evil. Self-defense has moral limits, and the deliberate killing of the innocent is never justified.
And what about the Palestinians right to self-determination or right to exist? Do they not possess that same God-given dignity? If one people’s claim to self-determination is elevated to the point where it overrides moral law or denies the rights of another people, then we are no longer talking about justice, but a dangerous double standard.
This is not a minor matter. It touches the very heart of the Gospel.
As Catholics, we are not bound to believe that the events of 1948 constitute the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. You agreed with me on this church teaching. Christ Himself is the fulfillment of the promises, and His Kingdom is not of this world. No modern state, including Israel, is exempt from moral judgment. I am being called an antisemite for stating this truth. The Church’s just war doctrine is clear that war must meet strict conditions, and the intentional killing of the innocent is never permitted. When innocent lives are being killed whether in Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran, Catholics have a duty to speak, because this is not only a political issue, but a moral one. We cannot be afraid to criticize the Israeli government at the fear of being name called.
Sacred Scripture speaks boldly about the Passion of Our Lord: “For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets…” (1 Thessalonians 2:14–15). The Church clearly teaches that this does not assign collective guilt to all Jews in every time and place. Such an interpretation is false and must be rejected. But neither can the Word of God be set aside, softened, or treated as though it were hate speech.
Would Pope Innocent III be called an antisemite today? What about Augustine, Ambrose, Jerome, Gregory the Great, Basil the Great, Athanasius, Gregory Nazianzus, and John Chrysostom? Would they now be labeled as such for the truth they received?
I respectfully ask you, are Christians now expected to deny Sacred Scripture, or hesitate to proclaim the Passion of Christ, and remain silent to comply with a modern political definition? Because that is exactly what this now appears to demand.
The witnesses at the hearing you missed claimed that anti-Zionism is hatred of Jews. Do you agree with that? Because if rejecting Zionism, whether as a political ideology or a theological claim, is now called hatred of a people, then we have crossed a grave line. This is no longer simply about condemning hatred. It becomes a question of whether Catholics are free to hold and profess what the Church teaches.
I was not removed because I hijacked the hearing. I was removed because I dared to speak truth to power.
Catholics must remain free to proclaim that Christ is the fulfillment of all promises, that His Kingdom is not of this world, and that no modern state carries a divine mandate in the way some claim.
As a successor to the Apostles, it is important that you provide clarity. I’d appreciate you taking this from here, I really would love to go back to cooking, planting, and being a mother, and a wife.

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.

@RealCandaceO It makes u happy ur wishing they had nuked Israel then u could be at peace

Iran has a right to exist.
Also, they warned they would strike which I have been reliably informed makes them the most moral army in the world.
Lastly, the children harmed were used as human shields.
Did I miss anything?
Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA
The Iranian regime devastated Arad and Dimona by deliberately striking civilians with missiles. Over 100 people were injured, including children. A blatant war crime. Pure terrorism.

I hate having a president who celebrates when people die. Basic respect and human decency are still worth caring about, even if a large number of people have decided that’s lame and old-fashioned. I hope we recover that before long.

Is that what would you say about Trump if he died tomorrow?
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway3d
It's actually simpler than that, Brit. This is the kind of thing Trump does that demonstrates to anyone with a soul that he is a despicable person. He can't help but say these things, because that's just who he is.

Bob Mueller was a Patriot who never said “no” when his country called on him to serve. As a Marine in combat in Vietnam. As an Assistant U.S. Attorney prosecuting crime. As Director of the FBI helping to change law enforcement after 9/11.
I worked with him at DOJ for 7 years (post-9/11) and, while we did not always agree, he spoke his mind with candor and conviction. My condolences to his wife Ann and the entire Mueller family. I thank him for his service and pray that he rests in peace.

72,000 killed in the genocide in Gaza.
1 million+ displaced in Lebanon.
1,700 settler attacks in the West Bank.
And now war in Iran.
Sending 20,000+ more bombs to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral—it’s illegal.
That’s why I introduced legislation to stop it.

Lord Jesus Christ,
We humbly ask that You continue to use us for Your glory, that our words and actions may always reflect Your truth.
Grant us wisdom to discern what is right, courage to proclaim it without fear, and strength to endure the trials, attacks, and hatred that come when we stand in defense of You.
When we are weary, be our strength. When we are discouraged, be our hope.
When we are tested, keep us steadfast in faith and charity.
Fill our hearts with a deeper love for You, that we may never grow weary or turn away, but remain bold and faithful witnesses to Your Gospel until the end.
We love You, Lord, and we entrust ourselves completely to Your will.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

@baroncoleman @RealCandaceO Matt is right about everything that’s being done by the click crowd to Ericka all for money the amazing part is that u guys find an audience
English
Notice the rants against @RealCandaceO always fall into one of two categories: (1) vague accusations that Candace is “lying” or (2) misrepresentations of something she’s said that of course sounds absurd when misrepresented.
This is what these demons did during Pizzagate. They accused people of lying who were investigating whether the Podesta emails were evidence of horrific crimes, or they twisted the investigation to absurdity by claiming people were accusing Hillary Clinton of personally running a crime syndicate from the basement of a pizza shop.
They never identified specific claims and identified how they were lies. And they never addressed the specific questions being asked during the investigation. Just accuse of lying and twist to absurdity.
It’s the same game, and it’s the same insiders protecting themselves.

Robert P. George@McCormickProf
Speaking to the Jewish community in Rome, Pope John Paul II made crystal clear the teaching of the Catholic Church on 1) the brotherhood of Jews and Christians; 2) the sinfulness of anti-Jewish hatred and prejudice; and 3) the irrevocability of God's covenant with the Jewish people: "The Jewish religion is not 'extrinsic' to us, but in a certain way is 'intrinsic' to our own religion. With Judaism therefore we have a relationship which we do not have with any other religion. You are our dearly beloved brothers and, in a certain way, you are our elder brothers. On the basis of this brotherhood renewed by Christ, the Church rejects every form of discrimination and anti-Semitism. She condemns them as contrary to the very spirit of Christianity. She deplores all hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and by anyone.... The covenant between God and the Jewish people has never been revoked. 'The gifts and the call of God are irrevocable' (Rom 11:29).

@TheMagaHulk If she is the face of Catholics I want no part of them she is only there for one reason and that’s to be anti Jew with hate in her heart for them that’s it
English
Why is Carrie Prejean pretending she was advocating for Catholics?
She was defending the communists who were starting encampments on college campuses.
In some instances, they were attacking Jewish students.
Those communists hate America just as much as they hate Israel.
Many of those communists were on student visas.
Some were even linked with terror groups.
What's the point of rejecting Christian Zionism if you replace it with Christian-Islamism?
