BBC Watch Prompts Correction on Golan Site
BBC Watch, a CAMERA affiliate, has prompted a correction of a BBC caption (below) which had erroneously identified a tourist lookout in the Golan Heights as a military base.
In response to BBC Watch’s communication with editors, BBC fixed the caption (below):
A few weeks ago, the International Herald Tribune corrected the identical error after CAMERA staff contacted editors.
June 17 Update: A reader named Avril comments below:
looks like a military post to me…since when do tourist aim guns from there?
The BBC is a disgrace if it bows to Zionist pressures and lies such as this. Same picture, same soldiers, not a tourist in sight…do you think we are all stupid?
The “soldier” aiming the gun is a metal statue, as is clearly demonstrated in the following image.

Israelis and tourists are visiting the sight to look into Syria from Mount Bental. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has warned that he could use chemical weapons if Syria is attacked by an external force. UPI/Debbie Hill
Avril, I will be visiting the tourist lookout next week. In honor of you, I will pose with the “soldier,” whom, I guarantee you, will still be aiming his gun exactly as he is in the photo above. Yes, Zionist soldiers are that good.
June 30 Update, For Avril
Avril: I have returned from my visit to the Golan Heights and have confirmed that the Zionist “soldier” is still holding steady, with his gun at the ready in the very same position. That’s me standing with him. (Photo by Zionist co-conspirator Gilead Ini)
