A post on Mondoweiss Mundo means world and Philip Weiss is its founder as a blog and now joined by Adam Horowitz. Remember those names. Mondoweiss (AI) aims to foster alternative Jewish-American identities outside mainsteam Zionism. AI: Covers current reportage, local resistance and human rights issues in the West Bank and Gaza. Mondoweiss is a strong anti-Zionist voice headed by two American Jews. Its fiscal sponsor is the Center for Economic Research and Social Change which sponsors only five projects: Haymarket Books, International Socialist Review, WeAreMany.org, Domestic Worker Oral History Project, Socialism 2011 Conference, Mondoweiss and the Rockefeller Brothers fund, hardly a radical voice. CERSC has been attacked in the right wing as a “promoting a Marxist socialist ideology and anti-Israel content”. InfluenceWatch.org: https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/center-for-economic-research-and-social-change/ Other websites say CERSC “is dedicated to a better understanding of today’s world” (Benevity Causes: https://causes.benevity.org/causes/840-364400754). Development Aid (https://www.developmentaid.org/organizations/view/694679/center-for-economic-research-and-social-change-cersc) finds CERSC is involved in “advocacy, education, gender and human rights”. Google AI tells us: "A questionable source is a media outlet or website that regularly shares biased, unverified, or false claims. These sources often lack editorial standards, fail to correct errors, and promote conspiracy theories or propaganda instead of objective facts." Mondoweiss’ first page in Google search finds the news source praised by seven reputable sources. The site does allow contributors to write op-eds. Some of these opinions may be seen to be controversial. Only those who support Israel’s wars and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine would find anything objectionable in Mondoweiss’ objective coverage. I find them a credible, democratic socialist voice, much needed in the modern world driven by strife and war.
