Economist Magazine Editors: Propagandists For the Zionist Elite?

Image
Right after October 7, 2023, Economist Magazine's Defense Editor Shashank Joshi posted X messages claiming that Hamas beheaded babies during the terrorist attack on Israelis. He has now deleted his posts. Instead of apologizing for joining the baseless Israeli propaganda campaign, Joshi has blamed it on "the fog of war", knowing fully well that this falsehood was used by the Israeli government to justify the  Gaza genocide  that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, most of them women and children. Here's what Joshi has now posted:  "Some of these reports have turned out to be untrue, and yes, I was wrong to be as confident in what was reported as first-hand evidence as I was, particularly given the fog of war in those initial post Oct 7th days".  An X user Tom London  dismissed  Joshi's excuses as follows: . @shashj @TheEconomist @zannymb when I heard the story that Hamas was said to have beheaded 40 babies I thought  1. This makes no sense at...

A CNN poll done soon after found that 59% of Americans disapprove of the war.  59% of Americans Disapprove of the Iran War.
