About Mondoweiss

Mondoweiss is an independent website devoted to informing readers about developments in Israel/Palestine and related US foreign policy. We provide news and analysis unavailable through the mainstream media regarding the struggle for Palestinian human rights.

Founded in 2006 as a personal blog of journalist Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss grew inside the progressive Jewish community and has become a critical resource for the movement for justice for Palestinians. We continue to follow debates over the role of Israel and nationalism in Jewish American life while seeking to reflect a diverse community of views on issues of international importance. We recognize that Jewish voices are often prioritized in discussions of Israel and seek to challenge that dynamic by bringing a universalist focus to an issue that is commonly dominated by narrow points of view.

We publish original on-the-ground reporting, analysis by scholars and personal stories. As the site has grown, we have developed a large group of regular contributors who are committed to high journalistic standards of documentable evidence and reliable sourcing.

Mondoweiss editors select content for the site on the basis of our shared commitment to news professionalism as well as justice for Palestinians. We do not have a single editorial position on specific issues, but aim to build a diverse online community, with special focus on viewpoints generally ignored by large media outlets. Writing published on Mondoweiss represents the views of its authors and does not necessarily represent the opinions of the site or its editors.

If you have problems with specific content, point it out and we can debate it. If you simply don’t like the website then you should block me.

The community rules state that sources with a “low or very low” MBFC rating may be removed. This source has that rating, and so I’m pointing it out.

I’ll ask you again, please point to any specific information carried in the article that you find false.

I’m not disputing anything in this article. I’m criticizing the presentation of a source rated as “low credibility” with reasoning “Propaganda, Hate Group, Misinformation” on this community.

The reason we even have this community rule is so people don’t have to go in and individually pick apart articles to separate facts from propaganda. Websites that aren’t rated as credible can and should be ignored.

I don’t think we’re getting anywhere. I’m going to block you. Nothing personal just I don’t think there’s anything more to be gained.

That’s an awful rule tbh.

MBFC is not itself a credible source. It’s mostly the hobby of one right wing guy with his own immense bias in favor of the Israeli government.

Some of the ratings are done by volunteers or paid freelancers (with no real transparency about who wrote what), but it’s mostly just one very biased dude named Dave pretending to be an authority on credibility and bias.
