Accuracy and accountability are among the most important tenets of journalism. In combination, they mean media organizations are expected to publish or broadcast forthright corrections after sharing inaccurate information. The following corrections are among the many prompted by CAMERA’s communication with reporters and editors.
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. 
In the latest "Ha'aretz, Lost in Translation," the English edition falsely reports that Jewish prayer is permitted on the Temple Mount. This is an egregious error given that only Muslims are permitted to pray at the site. CAMERA's Israel office elicits a correction in the International Herald Tribune today regarding a photo caption which wrongly identified a Golan Heights tourist lookout as a military training zone. CAMERA commends the Wall Street Journal for its correction of an article that misled on the status of payments to the Palestinian Authority. 
Washington Post defense and security correspondent Walter Pincus writes often about Israel, Iran and nuclear weapons. He doesn't think highly of close U.S.-Israel ties and gives Iran the benefit of the doubt. His columns also generate corrections, the most recent, on April 25, counters Pincus' spin. 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? 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. CAMERA commends USA Today for its correction of an article which grossly understated the number of Palestinians entering Israel for work and medical treatment. CAMERA's Israel office has prompted a Ha'aretz correction today on a story in last week's print edition which wrongly stated that the United Nations recognized Palestine as a full-fledged member.
