Mondoweiss

Mondoweiss is an independent platform dedicated to providing readers with insights into the latest developments in Israel/Palestine and related US foreign policy matters. Our focus is on delivering news and analysis that is often overlooked by mainstream media, especially concerning the fight for Palestinian human rights. Launched in 2006 by journalist Philip Weiss as a personal blog, Mondoweiss has evolved within the progressive Jewish community and has become an essential resource for those advocating for justice for Palestinians. We engage in discussions around the role of Israel and nationalism in Jewish American life while striving to represent a wide range of perspectives on significant global issues. We acknowledge that Jewish voices frequently dominate conversations about Israel and aim to shift that focus by introducing a more universal perspective on a topic that is often shaped by limited viewpoints. Our content includes original reporting from the ground, scholarly analysis, and personal narratives. As our platform has expanded, we have cultivated a community of regular contributors dedicated to maintaining high journalistic standards, including verifiable evidence and trustworthy sourcing. The editorial team at Mondoweiss curates content based on a shared commitment to journalistic integrity and advocating for Palestinian rights. We do not adhere to a singular editorial stance on every issue, instead fostering a diverse online community that highlights perspectives typically marginalized by larger media organizations. The articles featured on Mondoweiss represent the opinions of their authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the site or its editorial team. Importantly, Mondoweiss operates with complete editorial independence from its donors and financial supporters, ensuring that they have no say in the direction or content of our reporting.

There were many disheartening moments during the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign for progressives who support Palestinian rights.
