Israeli political commentator Rachel Gur said her son is refusing to study for his math test as he's certain that the exam is going to get canceled due to an Iran attack or counterattack.

"I told him a strike is unlikely before Wednesday," Gur said, adding that Wednesday is also the exam day.

This is propaganda because Modi and Bibi both want the strike to happen, and any media out of India literally has to say what the government says or they get put out of business...

In review, according to The Wire, “most newspapers in India would be completely unprofitable were it not for government advertising and other kinds of rent that they are able to collect. Bloomberg reports, “India’s government spent $640 million on advertisements.” Therefore, the media must be close to the ruling governments. Further, paid news, which is defined as an “organized practice in Indian newspapers and other media outlets, where news space and favorable coverage is exchanged for money,” is still practiced.

It's less "crazy news story" and more "three bigoted dictators colluding to normalize an impedeeding invasion"
