Calling all NY Times Critics In an article on Saudi Arabia’s policy towards the United States, the New York Times writes:
Western analysts see the prince as a blunt Bedouin leader whose initiative is regarded by many Arabs as a gesture worthy of the late Egyptian leader Anwar el-Sadat, who flew to Jerusalem in 1973 to sue for peace with Menachem Begin. Abdullah's offer, now the Arab world's offer, calls for recognition of Israel and "normal relations" in return for a Palestinian state on lands Israel occupied in 1967.
This paragraph has several errors. Sue for peace implies surrender, Germany sued for peace, Egypt signed cease-fires and later peace agreements. The date is wrong, Sadat went to Jerusalem in 1977.
