‘Sophisticated’ Economist Revives Facile Cartoon Smearing Israel

The following cartoon was posted recently on the Facebook page of The Economist:
The Economist cartoon.
The cartoon was originally published by The Economist in July 2014, during the war between Hamas and Israel.
As a friend on Facebook suggested, the cartoon’s goal is not to educate, or to provide a unique insight into the war, but rather to reinforce lazy stereotypes of Israel as a cruel, malicious Goliath inflicting gratuitous violence on innocent victims.
It’s especially troubling that a London-based publication that fancies itself a centrist magazine providing “authoritative insight and opinion” would endorse such a facile and extraordinarily misleading graphic commentary.
(See here for another example of an egregiously biased cartoon about Israel by the same cartoonist.)
