Owen, you need to name the editor; and the lead writers; and editors and lead writers.

We need to put names, and faces, on those who apologise for the Israeli-American Genocide, or outright support the Israeli-American Genocide.

More names, more faces. "Western Media" is too impersonal in the case of Genocide.

Remember, we don't say 'German', we say Nazis; we say Hitler, we say Goebells, we say Mengele, we say Eichmann.

We say Julius Streicher, the Der Sturmer newspaper boss, who was convicted at Nuremburg, and hanged. [Look him up, wiki]

Great article, as usual. Thank you for you ongoing prolific and valuable reporting. To me, publications like the Economist are useful only to see how our overlords want us to think--heaven forbid we do as they want!--or as toilet paper. I prefer the latter, as it's full of shit already anyway so belongs in the toilet regardless.

Owen, this is URGENT. My Gazan friend, Alaa Lolo’s neighborhood was attacked and now she needs to evacuate it ASAP but can't afford transportation. I had written you a message with more details and info about her and the campaign. Please post her campaign link in your socials like you've done for others. Again, this is a legit, vetted campaign. Her insta, where she's posted about her need to evacuate, is lolo_family2000.

Well done again Owen. It will be a good day when the writers and publishers of this kind of crap are in the dock.

I think you meant 'hand wringing' not 'handwriting indulged by the Biden administration'. good piece though.

I can't understand why nobody thinks it is inconceivable that Israel did not know about the breakout. There's nothing they don't know about what is going on in Gaza. They know every persons name and address and have all their telephone numbers. Of course they knew. They are the experts at this stuff. That is what they are hoping we won't think. That is what I think and I heard it said on Al jazeera that Shin Bet had told them the night before. They want us to believe that they believed it was just a practice. Does that sound credible? Not to me it doesn't. Im certain they knew. I just hope all the truth gets uncovered eventually
