We are devastated by news of a deadly Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis this morning occurred during a schoolwide Mass. Houses of worship should always be a place of safety and sanctuary, not terror. We are praying for everyone impacted by this terrible tragedy.

The world is holding Israel to impossible standards in Gaza | The Jerusalem Post
Israel has several avenues to achieve its goals in the Gaza Strip, but fallacies about the war, strategy, tactics, geopolitics, and history may all stop that achievement.
