UPDATE
The following has been published on the LA Times corrections page as well as on the sidebar of the original book review:
* * *
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.
We’ve sent a request for a correction to the LA Times and publicly tweeted. Watch this space.
No @latimes, Israel hasn’t occupied Gaza since 2005! Pls correct. https://t.co/m0ZnfCvPTl pic.twitter.com/RpLyEZYtBy
