| Hass, for example, reported in June, 2001 that Palestinian eyewitnesses saw Hebron?s Jewish community celebrating the shooting of a Palestinian by Israeli border police. She described the Jewish residents spitting on, stomping and kicking the Palestinian and then shouting with joy and passing out candies. Televised accounts of the incident, however, proved Hass?s story was entirely bogus. A Jerusalem court found Hass guilty of lying with the malicious intent of damaging the Hebron community?s reputation and fined her more than $60,000. |
