Can a faithful Catholic be a Zionist? Why the answer matters

Paddy Monaghan of The Irish Catholic reports that some Catholic commentators in Ireland and abroad have adopted anti-Israel positions that may lead to anti-Judaism and antisemitism.

Monaghan notes that recent years have seen significant sympathy for Palestinians in Gaza. He observes that the rhetoric used by these commentators often vilifies the actions of Israel while minimizing or ignoring the existential threats the country has faced since its founding.
