For those who have followed

For those who have followed the politically-freighted arguments about Israel’s capital over the years, one of the corrections in today’s New York Times resonates of more than geographic ignorance. The correction reads, in its entirety: “An article yesterday about a man accused of having tried to hijack an El Al plane en route to Istanbul from Tel Aviv on Sunday referred incorrectly to Tel Aviv. It is not the capital of Israel; Jerusalem is.”
