Economist Accepts False Palestinian Claim at Face Value
(CAMERA-UK) Adam Levick - An Aug. 26 article in the Economist represents another example of how journalists often fail to fact check claims by Palestinians. The piece focuses on a small winery in Bethlehem owned by Palestinian Sari Khoury. The requisite anti-Israel claim in the article is that "it is virtually impossible to get a permit from the Israeli authorities to expand his type of business physically. 'I can't even build a shed for my tools,' he explains." However, Bethlehem is in Area A of the West Bank, which means that the Palestinian Authority has complete administrative and military control of the area where Khoury's winery is located. So, Israeli permits to expand his business in the city are not needed.
