Same as @Undisciplined on Israel, but, other than that, I no longer trust the Economist at all. In college I would look forward weekly to the day the new copy arrived in the library. The writing was intelligent and very funny. I even had a subscription for a few years after I got my first decent job (it was pricey as a weekly).

It has gotten progressively more globalist over the years, losing the objective perspective and humor I enjoyed. I can't read it now. It has became a propaganda rag, in my opinion.
