The LA Times publishes a book review of “Zionism: The Birth and Transformation of an Ideal” by Milton Viorst. The reviewer Nicholas Goldberg is a former Middle East correspondent. Yet he still managed to include the error in this paragraph:

Of course, Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005, removing its settlements and soldiers. It isn’t occupied today and even when Israel packed up and left, it wasn’t even 40 let alone nearly 50 years at that point in time since Israel took over Gaza in 1967.
