CAMERA’s Israel office yesterday prompted correction after Haaretz’s English edition mistakenly identified convicted terrorist Samir Kuntar, who in 1979 and brutally murdered Danny Haran and his four-year-old daughter Einat, as Palestinian. A second daughter, 2, accidentally smothered to death while her mother kept her hidden. Kuntar was a Lebanese Druze.
Yesterday’s print edition article, “Kahol Lavan to back request to bank Arab MK Heba Yazbak from running in election” (page 3and online here), erred:
The Kahol Lavan party is likely to support a request to bar Israeli Arab lawmaker Heba Yazbak of the Joint List from running for reelection on March 2 over a Facebook post that hailed a Palestinian convicted of killing an Israeli family in an attack in the late 1970s as a “fighting martyr.”

As of this writing, a correction has not yet appeared in the print edition.
