    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.

              Or you just admit you’re supporting an acknowledged hate site. I’m not engaging in your sea lioning. If you want it, go find it yourself. I’m not digging through hate material for you.

                  @jordanlund please respond I need to know if you deem these antisemitic or if you are talking about something else.

                  Maybe this octopus cartoon?

                    He can’t. Even going through what MBFC claims is misinformation by mondoweiss only further reinforces how Zionist the MBFC site is and how little they care about genuine fact checking.

                    If they were actually antisemitic, why would prominent Jewish and Israeli anti-zionist historians, such as Ilan Pappe, have interviews and articles on the site? They wouldn’t. Of course JordanLund also bans emancipatory slogans such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as well. They apply more credibility to liberal Zionists than the victims of Zionism’s ethnic cleansing campaigns.
