CAMERA's Israel office prompts a correction today of the latest examples of "Ha'aretz, Lost in Translation." Two articles in the English edition last week falsely reported that Jews are permitted to pray on the Temple Mount. CAMERA's Israel office prompts a Ha'aretz correction on a photo caption which wrongly identified Israeli stone-throwers as Palestinians. AFP, the agency which supplied the erroneous caption, has yet to publish a correction. 
Not for the first time, AFP botches captions about Israeli-Palestinian violence. In an unprecedented twist, however, the newest flubbed captions whitewash Israeli violence, misidentifying Israeli stone-throwers as Palestinian. Ha'aretz clarifies that Israeli officials were shocked by Samer Issawi's comparison of himself to Holocaust victims. They did not, as stated in the English edition, agree with it. How long will anonymous translators continue to invent with impunity? 
Following two commendable corrections last week, Ha'aretz unfortunately continues to slip up with shoddy translations and sloppy reporting. Weekend errors pertain to Palestinian deaths and Holocaust Remembrance Day caption. For the second consecutive day, CAMERA's Israel office prompts a correction in Ha'aretz. Today's clarification concerns a mistranslation which introduced the false claim that IDF officers must spend a week protecting illegal outposts. In response to communication from CAMERA, Ha'aretz today commendably corrects, in Hebrew and English, Gideon Levy's false claim that according to Amnesty International "only 92 Palestinian fighters" were killed in Cast Lead. 
Ha'aretz's English print edition tidies up "Land Day" events, deleting the Hebrew edition's detailed coverage of Palestinian stone-throwing and the resulting injuries of a toddler and soldiers.
