Palestinian Woman Kicked in Head as Jewish Mob Debates Whether to Kill Her

Have Pillaged Iraqi Artifacts Ended Up in a Museum in Israel?
By Richard Edmondson With ISIS carrying out rampages through archaeologically sensitive areas of Iraq, a pertinent question to ask now is what group’s cultural heritage in the Middle East is being preserved, and whose is being destroyed.

The ‘Jewish Covenant with God,’ According to Pope Francis
By Richard Edmondson The supposed “covenant” establishing the Jews as God’s “chosen people”—and particularly Pope Francis’ recently-articulated position on this—has been the subject of a very lively online discussion over the past week or so. Francis is quite possibly the most philo-Semitic pope in history, and in November of 2013 he published his Evangelii Gaudium (“The Joy …
