For months now, allegations have been made against Ronit Levy - aka 'Ronit the Bibi' who tweets in favor of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Twitter - that she is a scoundrel.

The term means a robot that imitates real users and posts supportive posts about a particular candidate who has paid for it in advance.

Ronit Levy, (a flesh-and-blood person, we checked), was a guest on Erel Segal's show on 103FM and explained why people think she's some kind of robot.

Hello Ronit the Bibi. A company that monitors tweets on Twitter claimed that you are a bot.

""I'm not a bot, I'm an ordinary woman from Afula. They decided I was a robot because why would I suddenly say things different from what the media dictates.".

You are one of the wittiest and sharpest characters on Twitter. Why do people think you are a bot?

""Because they got used to us being a stupid herd. When they shout 'Bibi' at us, we get out of our holes, and when someone comes with claims and proof, then it's unacceptable and there's definitely someone guiding me.".

Bibi writes to you? They accused you of being Yair Netanyahu.

""I used to be Yair, Sarah, Bitan's assistant. I was everything except Ronit.".

How do you accept the fact that, according to monitoring, your influence is greater than that of veteran and well-known journalists?

""I'm happy about that. That's why I came to Twitter. That's the only reason, I'm not bored. Ask the people who follow me and believe what I write. I bring real things and reveal things they don't want us to know.".

How many hours are you on Twitter?

""Many hours. When I see something that upsets me, I say, it's all up to me.".

Do you know of other people who have accused them of being blunt?

""Sure. My lieutenants, two of my friends, Ding and Captain George.".

And they just make it up about them being blunt.

""Of course. In 'A Wonderful Land' they treated me as if they were operating me in Bangladesh.".
