In today’s second “On the Square” article, William Doino responds to the final statement of the synod of the Catholic bishops of the Middle East, and to their treatment of Israel. He writes, in Singling-out Israel Isn’t Christian , that
Although there are many fine Christian affirmations in it, the statement is damaged by an undue animus against Israel. No other country comes in for the kind of blame dished out against its policies. The bishops raise concerns about Iraq and Lebanon, but only in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, for which, they suggest, Israel bears almost sole responsibility.
This, for reasons he goes on to explain, is quite unfair.
