9. That article for Mondoweiss is so stupid as to discredit him entirely on I/P.

Sloan and MEMO are a waste of time for anyone interested in reality.

David Duke's Stormfront pretended to care about Ethiopians when Israel was being accused of sterilizing Blacks. Imagine that; the KKK was worried about anti-Black discrimination & racism. It's no different here from Jew hating, Hamas apologists like Sloan. Only cranks & loons take this stupid, obsessive Jew-hating shit seriously, whether from StormFront or hate sites like MEMO & Mondoweiss.

To demonstrate, here's part of the article you posted:

William Booth has noted in a highly recommended Washington Post essay that Netanyahu’s real plan is “to convince the world that the surge in Palestinian violence here is not born of frustration against Israel’s decades-long military occupation but instead is the work of,” to use Netanyahu’s own words, “radical Islam.”


Sloan's claim is basically that being against Hamas' genocidal Jew hatred = Bigotry. Or calling Hamas radical Islam is racist.

#FAIL


And more...

The hate today focuses on the Muslim faith and nature of the Palestinians. Israel, though, could stop building its illegal settlements. It could give the land that it has stolen since 1967 back to its Palestinian owners. It could act in accordance with international law and allow Palestinians to fulfil their right to return as a gesture of goodwill for stealing so many people’s homes, and in doing so explain to its Jewish citizens living in those homes that if they want to live in peace, they must live in new homes built by the state.


The first part is bullshit & nothing but a defense of Jihadi anti-Jew terrorism.

The second part is nonsense, it's Hamas' goal, and of course a call for the destruction of Israel....which BTW is antisemitic as even you acknowledged.

MEMO, Mondoweiss, and StormFront are all hate sites. I'm sorry that mainstream sources aren't as anti-Israel as you'd like them to be, but at least you wouldn't see anyone here immediately writing off each article from MSM sources as nonsense from the start.
