CAMERA staff elicited a correction from the Guardian on an opinion piece by Patrick Seale, who erroneously claimed that Qassam rockets launched from Gaza had not caused any fatalities.
The Guardian publishes an Op-Ed by Patrick Seale accusing Israel of conducting a ruthless operation in Gaza primarily aimed not at reducing the rocket attacks or freeing captured Israeli corporal Gilad Shalit but rather at squelching Palestinian moderates. The piece is riddled with unsubstantiated speculation, exaggerations, distorted language and false assertions.
