Britain's Sky News channel, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox company, has used the self confessed 'prejudiced' Mira Bar-Hillel as a talking head and authority on the subject of anti-Semitism.

Bar-Hillel, who is known for her irrational loathing of the State of Israel, was featured on Sky News as a panellist discussing the rise of anti-Semitism in the UK.

The author and commentator has form on the subject, and once wrote (emphasis added):

"The Jews of today scare me and I find it almost impossible to talk to most of them, including relatives. Any criticism of the policies of Israel – including the disgraceful treatment of Holocaust survivors as well as refugees from murderous regimes – is regarded as treason and/or anti-Semitism. Most papers and journals will not even publish articles on the subject for fear of a Jewish backlash. Goyim (gentiles) are often treated with ill-concealed contempt, yet the Jews are always the victims. Am I prejudiced against Jews? Alas, yes."

Yet one of Britain's largest broadcasters found it appropriate to host Bar-Hillel on the subject, who immediately tried to deny anti-Semitism would rise, then went on to immediately contradict herself and say that it might happen but wouldn't be violent.

Critics have noted that Bar-Hillel admitted to holding the British Jewry accountable for Israel's actions – an anti-Semitic trope in itself under the EUMC's Working Definition on Anti-Semitism, i.e. holding Jews collectively responsible for the actions of the Israeli government.

If you notice, FOX in the US is pro Hamas just as Barky is. They have been piping the Obama spin on most issues. Particularly during the day harder type news.
