CAMERA prompts correction of an egregious bogus quote at Reuters echoing Hamas' false claim that Itamar Ben-Gvir announced plans for a Temple Mount synagogue. But the news agency has yet to correct the inflammatory falsehood that the far-right Israeli minister called for Jewish prayer in the Al-Aqsa mosque.
Channeling the Qatari-run Al Jazeera and the government-controlled Turkish Anadolu Agency, Forbes falsely reports that Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and hundreds joining him entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
In response to communication from CAMERA's Jerusalem office, Reuters deletes posts on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook which erroneously used Tel Aviv as a metonyn for Israel.
UPDATE: In response to communication from CAMERA, both TIME and Times of Israel correct Associated Press copy which erroneously cited Tel Aviv as shorthand for Israel. Both media outlets now correctly refer to Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
CAMERA prompts Deutsche Welle corrections on two key geographical basics: First, Israel's capital is Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv. Second, the Jewish temples' location on the Temple Mount is an archeological fact, not a matter of faith.
CAMERA prompts correction after Reuters qualified the historical fact that the Jewish temples were located on the Temple Mount as unverified, citing "The site, said to have once housed two ancient Jewish temples . . ."
CAMERA Arabic puts the breaks on the omnipresent Arabic media formulation falsely casting Tel Aviv as Israel's capital, prompting 17 corrections in two months.
The Western media has increasingly abetted Palestinian propaganda efforts to erase the Jewish claim to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Far too many journalists today accept the historic revisionism and political falsehoods put out by Palestinian activists and leaders and promote it with their own jargon and linguistic tricks.
