Error (Ha’aretz, Op-Ed, Shlomo Avineri, 12/9/13): Mandela’s reply was, as usual, polite and dignified, but was essentially evasive. He expressed thanks for the invitation, but said that it was premature to visit Israel. He did not elaborate and never visited Israel.

Correction (12/5/13): The article “Science in service of politicians” by Moshe Arens, which was published on Dec. 2, 2013, should have stated that funding limitations in the EU’s Horizon 2020 initiative apply to research institutions.

Correction (4/24/13): Jack Khoury’s article on April 23 (“Palestinian hunger striker refuses to participate in trial”) contained a translation error.

The original version included a translation of the Hebrew term “yishuvim” as “settlements.”

Correction (2/7/13): In the article “IDF kills fourth Palestinian in a week,” by Jack Khoury and Chaim Levinson, published on January 16, the reported shooting death of a Palestinian man by Israeli forces should have been attributed to Palestinian sources.

Correction (3/26/12): Due to a translation error, one phrase in an opinion piece by Karni Eldad (“Agricultural apartheid,” March 25) was incorrect. The phrase in question should have read: “the agricultural period, during which settlers took over land, cleared stones, planted and sowed.”
Error (Ha’aretz, Op-Ed, 10/3/11): It’s a fact: From the moment Kaniuk learned of the judge’s ruling on the eve of Rosh Hashanah until the news was reported in the newspapers, several outstanding Jews (in their own opinion), residents of the West Bank settlement of Anatot, managed to demonstrate how easily Judaism can be turned into a loaded pistol aimed at the goyim, when they went out, as is their custom, to enhance the joy of the holiday by engaging in a pogrom against Palestinians and the peace activists who came to their assistance.
Correction (10/7/11): In the article by Neri Livneh (“A new movement?” October 3), it was erroneously implied that residents of the Anatot settlement have participated in attacks against peace activists and Palestinians in the past.

Error (Ha’aretz, Zvi Bar’el, Op-Ed, 1/16/11): Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat proposed a reasonable real estate swap: Beit Yonatan would not be evacuated or sealed, and in exchange, the municipality would delay the evacuation of the Abu Na’eb home where Palestinians live. A house in which Jews live illegally will be exchanged for a house in which Palestinians live entirely legally.
Correction (1/17/11): Due to a translation error, Zvi Bar’el’s op-ed (“From Beit Bialik to Beit Yonatan,” Haaretz, January 16), contained an inaccurate reference to Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat’s proposed solution to the Beit Yonatan issue.

Correction (9/7/10): A few months ago, it was reported here that a survey by the Hebrew University’s Truman Instit
ute shows that most settlers support the use of legal means to thwart a government decision to evacuate communities in the West Bank. I also reported that over a fifth of those surveyed “believe that all means must be employed in to resist the evacuation of most West Bank settlements, including the use of arms.” Following a reader comment, it should be noted that the appendage, “including the use of arms” was not actually part of the question and was too broad an interpretation for it to be included in “all means.”
Error (Ha’aretz Magazine, Gideon Levy, 1/21/05): Have you ever stopped for a moment next to a sign that leads to the Ofer camp, a euphemism for a mass detention facility in which about 800,000 Palestinians are now imprisoned, most of them without trial?
