NY Times Calls Neighborhood in Jerusalem 'West Bank Settlement' - Politics & Gov't - Israel News - Israel National News: "The New York Times, in keeping with the Obama adminstration's policy that many Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem are 'settlements,' has corrected a photo caption in which it used that term for a Jewish neighborhood in the city, also stating it is the 'West Bank.'
The mistake was published last Thursday in a photo caption that read, “Ultra-Orthodox Jews last month in Ramat Shlomo, a Jewish settlement in the West Bank,” the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) reported.
The following day, the Times wrote, “A picture caption on Thursday with the continuation of a news analysis article about a shift in the Obama administration's Middle East policy referred incorrectly to Ramat Shlomo, the name of a Jewish housing development that Israel says it is expanding despite objections by the United States and the Palestinian Authority. It is a neighborhood in East Jerusalem, not a settlement in the West Bank.”"
