Mass At Our Lady Of Fatima

Attended mass this past Sunday at Our Lady Of Fatima, R.C.C. in Jackson Heights, N.Y. The priest celebrating it gave a homily that included thoughts about the southern border crisis, the fighting in Gaza and also the conflict in the Ukraine. He neglected to mention anything at all about the systematic murder of Christians in Iraq and many other places in the Middle East as well as Africa. I remain utterly dumfounded by this silence.  What is going on?
