Mondoweiss

Mondoweiss Mondoweiss covers the movements, activists & policymakers affecting Palestine's struggle for freedom.

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.

In response to the Bondi Beach attack, there is a push in Australia to adopt definitions of racism, including antisemitism. We must reject this effort because its ultimate goal is to criminalize anti-Zionism and to further settler colonialism.

Demands that Hamas disarm follow decades of international calls for a "demilitarized Palestinian state." These demands insist that Palestinians surrender their right to self-defense, a right no people should relinquish.

In the Palestinian village of al-Mughayyir, seven residents have been killed by Israeli forces since October 2023, including 17-year-old Fadi al-Na’san, shot while defending a neighbor’s home from settlers.
