The "genuine facts" of Mira Bar Hillel

Mira Bar Hillel is a reporter about property or something like that for The Evening Standard. Yet her self-avowed anti-semitism and crazed hate for Israel has also apparently qualified her for writing at The Independent as well, as some sort of expert, since she has a Hebrew name.

She trolls me often and I ignore her, since it is clear that she is starved for attention. But a little Twitter conversation from today caught my eye.

This supposed journalist re-tweeted a Photoshopped, fake IDF tweet created by one of the many Israel-hating liars on the Internet:

Of course, many people pointed out to her that she fell for a hoax. But to Bar Hillel, the truth isn't important: it is "truthiness." She actually defended her propagating a lie this way:


A genuine fact! From a pseudo-journalist!

Others asked her where she got this "fact" from, and she answered:




So I went to PCHR, which records every incident in Gaza, real or imagined. I looked at every incident that happened during the night of August 20 and early morning of August 21.

Guess what? Not a single child was killed in Gaza during the time period that this idiot claimed 20 children were killed.  (At 2:30 AM on Thursday, the IDF attack that killed 3 major Hamas leaders also killed 3 children who were being used as human shields for the terrorists.)

I'm certain that the Gaza Ministry of Health did not say that 20 kids were killed that night either. Bar-Hillel, when forced to defend her lie, just made up another one.

There you have it: the truth is completely irrelevant to the hateful, bigoted anti-Israel crowd.

CORRECTION: I had written that Bar Hillel wrote for The Guardian. She hasn't.
