"Correction: December 17, 2015
An earlier version of this article referred imprecisely to access to the mosque compound. The Israeli authorities have recently allowed nearly all Palestinian residents of Jerusalem to visit, not most Palestinians in general. (Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip generally cannot visit the compound without a permit to enter Jerusalem.) The earlier version of the article also omitted attribution for a statistic about the 115 Palestinians killed since the uprising began. According to estimates from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, from Oct. 1 through early December, 60 Palestinians have been shot dead while attacking Israelis or being suspected of doing so. Other human rights organizations and news agencies have a slightly higher estimate of attackers killed, based on when they started counting the deaths." This is an actual lie (the words in bold, for example): the Palestinian center never said that some were killed because "they were suspected of doing so". This is another fabrication in the Times. And how do Israeli killers know the intentions of Palestinians before they even perpetrate an act? Guessing?
