Slander in Economist

Anti-israel articles in respected magazine Economist. Very disturbing. Critical of 1967 War.

I always thought the economist, a "conservative" British rag, was anti-Israeli. To the core. You will scarcely find a high brow paper in the UK that will give us fair treatment, much less recognition of actual and historic wrongs.

And Liberals hate The Economist because they were initially pro Bush.

The criticized Venezuela, Cuba, Zimbabwe. That's some beauty contest.

What's wrong about taking a critical look at the 1967 War?

I haven't read the article, but doubt the Economist was fair in their assessment. And let's be clear here--libel and slander, and criticism are not the same thing.

Yeah, fortunately they seem to have got it right this time around - somebody must have had a quiet word

The economist is pro palestinian and anti Israel like so many others.

That just proves what I've been saying all along - there must be some sort of overall network linking all of this. How could all these organisations with completely different aims and political ideologies be united on opposition to Israel? It's not like anti-semitism is that widespread here in Britain - there aren't many Jews here, anyway - and anyway, it's not like Israel is doing anything wrong or anything.

Somebody needs to make a list of Palestinians working for the media...
