      Mondoweiss – Bias and Credibility

      QUESTIONABLE SOURCE

      Overall, we rate Mondoweiss as Left Biased and Questionable due to the blending of opinion with news, the promotion of pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist propaganda, occasional reliance on poor sources, and hate group designation by third-party pro-Israel advocates. (D. Van Zandt 3/4/2017) Updated (12/07/2023)

        Mondoweiss is a trash source, try again.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondoweiss

        In 2015, David Bernstein, writing for The Washington Post, called the website a “hate site”, and listed quotes from Weiss that he said were anti-Semitic. This included Weiss’ claim that “the Israel lobby … reflected a contract the American establishment had made with Jews to drive the economy in the 1970s”,[62] which Bernstein likened to a belief in an “Elders of Zion type group”. It was also described as a hate site in the book Anti-Zionism on Campus by Andrew Pessin.[63]

        According to Elliot Kaufman, the Vice President of Cardinal for Israel, a Stanford University group, writing in The Stanford Review, Mondoweiss “often publishes astonishingly anti-Semitic material, using classic anti-Semitic imagery such as depicting Jews as spiders, cockroaches, or octopuses with tentacles controlling others, and Holocaust inversion. Its hatred of Israel is as deep as it is vicious.”[64]

          Your argument is a Zionist writer writing for a Zionist rag calling anti Zionist Jews antisemitic?

          It is clear you are not here in good faith. I will keep in mind you deem all criticism of Israel antisemitic.

            No, I’m saying we aren’t going to link to a hate site, and any site depicting Jews as spiders, cockroaches, or octopus is a hate site. Mondoweiss is a hate site. MBFC has it right, if you think they’re wrong, then you might have your own bias issue to confront.
