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)
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]
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.
Dropsite isn’t banned because of credibility, it’s banned because we don’t allow blogs. Full stop.
You could be the most award winning journalist in the world on Twitter or Facebook, you’re still getting removed because we don’t allow Twitter or Facebook.
Don’t care. Show me where a source they mark “Questionable” is not, in fact, Questionable.
Mondoweiss – Bias and Credibility
Mondoweiss is a trash source, try again.

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.
Where is your evidence? Show me the comic. Or are you going to point to Zionist hearsay as your evidence?
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.
Acknowledged by whom? People who literally ascribe themselves working for Zionist lobbies? Where is your evidence?
Is this antisemitic?
https://jcpa.org/article/anti-semitic-cartoons-on-progressive-blogs/
Is this anti semitic Jordan?
Or do you mean this one?
Is condemning baby killers anti semitic?
@jordanlund please respond I need to know if you deem these antisemitic or if you are talking about something else.
Maybe this octopus cartoon?
For the sake of it, I followed the sources
The links to the blog posts don’t work
The images do not appear to load. Any working mirror?
Like theguardian? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/
A UK paper of record?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian
Or mixed not enough for you
Guardian isn’t “Questionable”.
“MBFC Credibility Rating: MEDIUM CREDIBILITY”
We’d allow that.
Which makes it dumber that dropsite is banned as it has a higher rating
Dropsite isn’t banned because of credibility, it’s banned because we don’t allow blogs. Full stop.
You could be the most award winning journalist in the world on Twitter or Facebook, you’re still getting removed because we don’t allow Twitter or Facebook.
Again it’s not a blog it’s a news organization
This entire post is trying to show you 2 things.
1 just add it to the rules that anything hosted on substack is banned for simply using a tech platform.
2 it’s a ridiculously stupid rule that isn’t at all thought out.
