The U.S. press loves NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell, even if she is so often wrong about so many things.

On Monday, we caught yet another glimpse of Mitchell’s unique brand of advocacy journalism when she tried — and failed — to report on a disturbance during Vice President Mike Pence’s address before the Knesset, Israel’s governing body.

“The 13 Israeli-Arab members of Israel's Parliament held up signs saying ‘Jerusalem is the Capital of Palestine’ and were forcibly removed by security as Pence started to speak,” NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent tweeted.

She added, “Can you imagine Capitol Police dragging members of the congressional black caucus off the House floor?”

Mitchell’s tweet is heavy on the inaccuracies and light on the context, according to Knesset reporter Lahav Harkov‏.

First, Harkov noted, the protesters were not the “13 Israeli-Arab members." There are others.

Also, she explained, “it is always against the Knesset rules to hold up signs or use props, and there are examples spanning decades of [people] being removed [because] of it.”

She wrote elsewhere that, “It has everything to do with rules. They lifted up signs in protest, which is a removable offense for anyone, Jewish or Arab. As I said, there are examples spanning decades, many of which actually come from the Israeli Right. But don’t let facts ruin your prejudices.”

Moreover, Harkov explained, “it's not an obscure rule at all.”

For instance, she wrote, “Haredi MKs have been removed from the plenum for disrupting many times. Most recently, in the 2013-2015 Knesset in the impassioned debates over the enlistment law.”

Put another way: Any member who shows up to the Knesset with protest signs is looking to be escorted from the chamber. In fact, she wrote, one of the removed members, Ahmad Tibi, said outright that he “was very proud of the fact that the international press highlighted the Joint List MKs being kicked out.”

Lastly, Harkov concluded, “ushers, not security guards” led the protesters out of the Knesset.

The Jewish Weekly’s James Marlow added elsewhere that Harkov was, in fact, correct in her criticism of Mitchell. She “really should know better on how Knesset works,” he wrote. “Also forbidden to hold signs up in British House Of Commons & many European Parliaments too. You sign up to the rules before, you abide by them during or be ushered out!”

Amazingly enough, the schooling didn’t end there: Harkov also took it upon herself to correct inaccuracies in the White House press corps' pool reporting.

“For all White House reporters getting the pool info about Pence’s visit, the names of the Arab members of parliament mentioned are wrong. They are [Ahmad Tibi] and [Haneen Zoabi]. You’re welcome,” she wrote.

A few social media users tried to dispute Harkov’s correction of Mitchell’s hypotheticals and what-ifs, to which the Knesset reporter gave a pertinent response, writing, “My point was more that there are Arab Knesset members not in the Joint List. [Israeli political scientist] Dov Khenin wasn’t there today.”

Other than getting all the details wrong, though, great work all around.
