Charity and Politics

CNEWA is a papal charity and would seems a worthy endeavor with a good record.

It helps Christians in the Middle East and it's magazine has something of an anti-Israeli slant. Whatever one thinks about Israel building the wall, the article (can't readily find it online) seemed rather unsided given the lack of explanation as to why Israel would go to the great length of building it. The Palestinians are hardly without sin. This has made me less enthusiastic about supporting CNEWA, although I'm not sure that's a good reason. Especially given the plight of Iraqi Christians.
