The season for some joy and much hate!

According to The Center for The Study of Hate and Extremism, 2022 anti-Semitic hate crimes will exceed a record level of such crimes in 2021.

October marked the fourth anniversary of the attack at Pittsburgh's Tree of Live Synagogue. Eleven members murdered. Six critically injured.

Last month, former President Trump happily dined with anti-Semitic rapper Ye and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at Mar-A-Lago.

My Catholic friends and neighbors tell me that their priests and the sexual abuse cover-up bishop of The diocese of Norwich, Michael Cote, do not utter a word denouncing the wave of anti-Semitism sweeping their communities and the nation. How unfortunate!
