1. Mondoweiss? Really?

It's pretty disgusting that the already dodgy Truthout is linkwashing a Mondoweiss story.

---------------------------------------------



Analysis / Bias

Mondoweiss exhibits a strong pro-Palestinian bias and is extremely critical of the Israeli government. It frequently publishes content that is negative toward Israeli policies and actions, often portraying them in a highly critical light. For example, the article “Genocide in service of Nakba 2023” is emotionally loaded and one-sided against the Israeli government due to its use of highly charged language and its singular focus on alleged atrocities committed by Israel without providing context or perspectives from the Israeli side. The piece characterizes the situation as a “genocidal war on Gaza” aimed at “depopulation and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people” in “brutal but deliberate stages.” It accuses the Israeli government of engaging in “widespread destruction and industrial-scale slaughter,” cutting off essential supplies like water and food and targeting civilian areas for destruction. The article alleges that these actions are part of a strategy by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to achieve “complete forced displacement” of Palestinians, describing this as “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide” used as a means to an end​. This piece is a one-sided opinion by the author.

snip-----------------------------------------

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.
