Guardian Retracts Another Israel Blunder
The Guardian have been forced to issue a climb down this morning after claiming that the capital of Israel is Tel Aviv, rather than Jerusalem. The paper initially sought to defend the ridiculous claim, before finally backing down:

It’s like there is a pattern to all this…














We are ALWAYS RIGHT!! – WE MEAN LEFT!!!
But why do you read the Guardian Giuido? No one else other than BBC types does.
Next they will be saying that Glasgow is not the Capital of Scotland.
Who gives a S***.
Has anyone told the bbc?
He reads it so we don’t have to.
In related news the Israeli government has corrected the error by which the old city was placed inside its borders. They accept this was incorrect and have apologised for any inconvenience caused.
You’re right on one thing Jummy, Jerusalem *is* an old city. Preexistent to Islam, it was in antiquity and remains today the capital for a people whose habitation and culture from ancient times is very much in in evidence all over the land. Curious their being there at all so exercises the Graun and so many on the Left.
Have noticed the initials of the number one bitch in Britain. Her middle name is not Mary perchance is it?
Are we all messhugah ?
Ov Vey Maria !
dont worry the guardian and the BBC are now disappointed that the games has been a hugh sucess and the team has done well. The BBC local news is constantly trying to put a downer on things by portraying stay away london etc. The left wanted this all to go horribly wrong but in true british style we have so far manage to pull off a good games and portray britian in a good light which will result in more tourists coming to london.
The huggy bunny treasonous lefties will NEVER understand the British and their attitude, but there again they think their attitude is wrong.
Lefties crawl back under the stone you came from and take the BBC and The Gruainiad with you as you dislike the light of freedom and democracy, oh and please take Clegg et al with you
Did someone call my name?
Will,can you be a litle more specific re the likely numbers of “illegals” included in your
“more” assessment?
I only ask because I read today that 7 of the Camaroon
Will,I don’t mind them coming but they may decide to stay here.That I do mind.
BTW; I read today that 7 members of the Olympic games squad representing the Cameroons have dis-appeared from the Olympic village over the weekend.
The first of many do you think?
They. are gold medal hopes for Hide and Seek!
Am i the only one who couldn´t care less about Israel or Palestine?
No. Never met an Israeli I haven’t liked.
What about a Palestinian?
What about all those poor old Sudetens in Germany and all those abject Lwowians in Poland. Palestinians are a cast of Jordanian and Egyptian extras play-acting since 1967 in order to keep the jihad chugging along. The EU pays their wages and the neighbouring Arab sates make sure they can’t get alternative employment.
or residence visas.
Never met an Israeli who didn’t have a massive attitutde problem.
or a palastinian.
That’s what makes them such great neighbours.
In Henry V’s time most of the ‘Palestinians’ would still have been back at home.
how many have you met? And think carefully as to why Israelis might be entitled to a ‘massive attitude problem’. If you had been attacked, threatened and persecuted almost into non-existence, you might also have a problem. Well, perhaps you do?
Well, one is a vibrant , modern society, with equal rights for women and gays , and the other is a damning indictment of a religion that hasn’t evolved since the 7th century , and kept in that state largely to suit the geopolitical ambitions of its co-religionists.
Apart from that there’s nothing to choose between them.
If we ignore them all, maybe they will go away.
I see where we’re going – and look out for trouble
I was best friends with Hitler and Mussolini.
Neither of those chaps had friends as such, so Lord Rothermere must have been deluded.
So was the Guardian.
You should always dig a little deeper than lefties want you to. You uncover all manner of uncomfortable truths regarding the comrades and the friends they would rather you not talk about.
I chose Tel Aviv because Jerusalem always gives me an hearty choke
So its not Hampstead?
No, stay left up the Finchley Road and try Golders Green. Mind you the branch bank where I worked at Swiss Cottage more than 40 years ago had 64 Patels which we constantly muddled up. Expect there are more of them now too!
Patels are in Wembley and the Beccy’s are in Hampstead.
What’s a Beccy?!
She is that young lady swimmer that won a medal at the Olympics.
Have you never heard of Tooting Bec? Ask your friend Abdul as he comes from there apparently.
The Guardian and The BBC progressively evisen the Socialist Palestinian Caliphate. And quite right too. It will happen.
Envisage or evince?
English can’t be Jimmy’s first language.
It’s not his second language either.
How can there be a socialist Caliphate? Islam has its own system, which is very different from socialism, something the likes of Mehdi Hasan don’t seem to understand
“Doesn’t”?
likes- plural, hence don’t plural
In a very bizarre twist, Marxists (Leftists) and Islamo-fascists have got into bed with each other – not just in Europe, but in South America. Chavez gives and gets all the support he needs from the Jihadists. What is the world coming to?
Guido ” Friend of Israel” Fawkes.
YAWN
Keep up the bad work
“Friend of Geography” more like.
Sucking up to the Chosen never harmed anyone’s career prospects.
Like Tone and the Pope.
What is it with the constant obsession of the Juice, by leftards? Hitler lost, get over it.
This advert is offering a “Free personality test”. I wonder what result Gordon Brown would get.
GENIUS! – is that a personality type? – anyway, doesn’t matter
Does Israel have any good banks I can work for?
“Good Banks”? = oxymoron.
Bob will go far 9(in Isreal)
Yes the “West Bank” of the River Jordan
Guido publishes another boring Israel story.
Why is anyone surprised Al-Ja-Grauniad has a downer on our Semitic brethren? They tend to be independent minded, make a success of their lives and not stir up trouble. If they went around in skirts and tea towels, put on a dab of the old tanning lotion and shouted about their rights all day, Al-Graun would be all over them.
Socialists hate people who look after themselves, support their own communities and follow the law.
They also do a very good line in self-deprecating comedy.
I’m sure there are muslim commedians but they seem to have passed me by.
“not stir up trouble”??
that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year
In recognition of this wonderful thread,i have instructed that the post box nearest to Guido be painted gold.
The Graun has been calling Tel Aviv Israel’s capital for quite a while now. CiFWatch has occasional summaries of incorrect articles.
Such a good boy, a chasid ummot ha-olam! We can always count on Guido! Even if all he’s doing is to defend Israel to take the piss out of the Grauniad, it’s still a mitzvah! You should take the piss out of them just on general principle alone, but to do it for Eretz Yisroel– oy, I’m kvelling for Guido, a true friend of the Jooish people!
You’re all WRONG! It’s not even called Isis RA El, that’s pagan gods! It’s named after my lovely hubby, Rothschildlandia and it’s capital is of course “R”. Mayer wanted to call it Dublin (because then his Capital would always be ‘dublin’), but that was taken!
I’m a leftie. Am I welcome to comment here?
Who cares?
Anyone know where Palestine is,can’t find it on the map.
I guess there’s no such country.
Palestine? A country? Never was, isn’t now, & if it ever does become one it will be a sh*thole populated largely by sh*t people with a mindset from the distant past.
An ideal place for Mehdi Has*n. He would feel very comfortable there.
Named after an ancient tribe – the Filisteen (from the Arabic).
Nowadays, though, Philistine has a completely different meaning – as those at the beeb and Grundina will know.
It is one of those ‘magic’ places, like Never-Never Lane, or the place where Santa Claus lives (I’m too old to remember what it is called). But the UN will grant the ‘Felastinians’ a seat in September, and now that poor President Assad has to step down from the Committee of Human Rights (I kid you not), then patient President Abbas can take his place (he’s the one with the degree in Holocaust denial, remember?) So you can see how the fairy stories keep coming. You might have to censor them for children though.
Another example of forked tongue Dave going on about promises !!
CMD, aka The real Heir to Bliar, who’s every word CMD worships…….
interview on LBC this morning where CMD is taken to task by Lady Voter,
http://www.lbc.co.uk/cameron-put-on-the-spot-by-cancer-patient-58251
its just bloody marvellous with this mendacious, two faced shi*t, what promises he choses to keep & the ones to UK Voters he just ignores, after all we don’t matter……….
lets show him & the rest of ConsLieLaborLibDems Manipulative Alliance what we think of them, sooner rather later…….
Fair enough, school boy error by the Guardian, referring to Jerusalem as the capitol. Not exactly earth shattering.
Better than Daily Mong and Daily Express who suck the c*ck of the Neo Con Nuts of Israel on a daily basis.
Oh dear…I supposed I’m going to be kidnapped now.
We have decided letting you continue your hysterical rants is more useful to us
Moussa’s having delusions of adequacy again.
Do you not find it amazing that the most hysterical of these posters here neither know the facts of the case nor can spell?
The only kidnapping being done is by you, of your own daughters.
The G******* is a nasty anti-Semitic rag which is akin to Beobachter in Hitler’s 1930s.
Having never bought a copy in in life ever I had a wonderful cathartic moment about 6 months ago and deleted them from my FREE browser.
The G******* has permanently been close to bankruptcy for years and is only supported by the Scott trust and cash from Auto Trader. Over the last 2 financial years they lost close to 200,000 quid and thousands of readers.
Work it out for yourself…..the bailiffs are hovering as even the long suffering Scott family Trust are now pissed off. When you go to sleep tonight jst think of PT(how suitable) in a dole queue outside the BBC offices in Manchester. I hear that the Italian holiday homes market has sunk without trace.
Sorry typo. Make that 200 MILLION quid. I left out some vital naughts.
I have just been watching an American prog on the History entitled “10 things you don’t know about the Mormons”.
The distinguished historian who presents the programme asserts that the Mormons were originally Joooish exiles – and apparently it says so in their “bible”, the Book of Mormon.
So now you know Mitt Romney is a Mormon djuw.
Where did that emanate from …..Beano?????
Weren’t the Gaurdain, along with the BBC, amongst those of similar ilk who were busy scoffing at Mitt Romney and claiming he was so stupid for calling Jerusalem the Capital of Israel when they were so brilliant for knowing it was really Tel Aviv? And weren’t they also busy pointing out that his so called gaff showed he had no idea about Foreign Affairs because his alleged gaff had badly damaged any influence America might have in the Middle East if he became President?
What it really shows is just how far their bias and propaganda goes when it comes to reporting on matters that do not follow their script.
Oh God those lefty nutters and their international law and basic human rights, they’re gonna. Turn us into China! Damn red commie bastatds
It’s worth noting that this Guardian correction was achieved as a result of legal action initiated by HonestReporting against the Press Complaints Commission that had originally ruled in favour of The Guardian’s claim of Tel Aviv as Israel’s capital.
The Guardian was forced to retract after the PCC overturned its original ruling under threat of a judicial review.

I genuinely wonder whether Guido would have supported apartheid South Africa before it collapsed
