CAMERA Op-Ed: Top Israel News Coverage Fails of 2018
What were the biggest failures in 2018 media coverage of Israel? In April, The New York Times published what Amb.

Newsweek’s Muddled Correction of ‘Correction’ on Historic Palestinian State
After accurately reporting that never before has there been a Palestinian state, Newsweek deleted what it referred to as "an error that says no Palestinian state has ever existed."

CAMERA prompts a Newsweek correction of the absurd claim that the West Bank village of Susiya "has been in Palestinian control since the 1830s." Newsweek has yet to correct its erroneous depiction of the Israel Anti-Boycott Act. Newsweek Relies on Electronic Intifada, Gets the Facts Wrong
In a laughably ahistorical error, Newsweek's Carlos Ballesteros claims that Susiya has been in "Palestinian control since the 1830s." He also mischaracterizes the Israel Anti-Boycott Act and cites Electronic Intifada, all indications that Newsweek's glory days are in the past.
Newsweek Corrects on Hamas Document, Israel’s Capital
CAMERA prompts corrections at Newsweek: Hamas' May 2017 policy document did not replace the founding charter calling for Israel's destruction and Tel Aviv is not to be used as shorthand for Israel.
