Backgrounder: The Battle Over Jerusalem and the Temple Mount

Once again, the dishonest battle cry to "defend" the Al Aqsa mosque from Jewish plans of takeover, is being cynically used  as a clarion call for violent jihad.

Comparing the BBC and Al Jazeera style guides

The similarities between entries in the style guide used by the Hamas-supporting and terrorist-employing Qatari government-funded media outlet (which has been banned by several Arab countries) and those appearing in the BBC style guides certainly raise questions regarding the standards to which Britain’s national broadcaster apparently aspires.

AP Updates Article After CAMERA Requests Corrections on Jerusalem, Gaza

AP amends after ignoring that the Temple Mount is Judaism's most sacred site.
