.@MariamBarghouti is what some might call a "media darling." When well-known media outlets look for a Palestinian voice, Barghouti is someone they can rely on to speak as a "researcher" or "analyst" or "journalist." 
Her work has been published in, among other outlets, @WashingtonPost, @Guardian and @Newsweek. She has been interviewed by @CNN and, seemingly, the @BBC. She also appears to have been quoted in @LATimes, @HuffPost, @BusinessInsider and many more.
What these media outlets don't tell readers is that Barghouti is an antisemite.
With a ‘verified’ Twitter account and over 74,000 followers, Mariam Barghouti has used the platform to spread vicious Jew-hatred, including describing Israel as “beating Hitler at his own game since 1948,” and calling the Jewish state “racist Zionist-Nazi’s [sic].”
See for example how Barghouti called former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "Nazi" who supports "ethnic cleansing".

Hitler and Nazis seem to be a theme with @MariamBarghouti:

Barghouti has also belittled Zionism, the movement for Jewish self-determination, describing it as doing "nothing but exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust":

Does @Twitter not believe that equating Israel with Nazi Germany violates its hate speech policy?

Why do media outlets such as @CNN, @WashingtonPost and other leaders in the field choose to work with a blatantly antisemitic journalist to report on, of all things, the Jewish state?
