1. Mondoweiss is anti-Zionist, which is prima facie anti-Semitic.

2. Mondoweiss actively seeks to demonize and delegitimize Israel. To quote from the recent statement of NGO Monitor’s Anne Herzberg’s to the Irish Parliament’s Joint Committee on European Affairs, “The strategy of transforming Israel into a pariah state is the latest incarnation of the campaign that produced the 1975 UN General Assembly declaration that ‘Zionism is racism’….This singling out of Israel is a form of incitement and in itself appears to be an expression of racism.” However, I would alter “appears to be” to “is.” The form of racism is, of course, specifically anti-Semitism.

3. The culture of the Mondoweiss commenting community, like that of the Guardian’s Comment Is Free, is steeped in anti-Semitic animus.

4. In addition to his own animus against Israel, Phillip Weiss is fixated on notions of disproportionate Jewish (not Israeli lobby) power and influence in the United States.

5. Weiss (a superficial thinker and clumsy writer) has often written naively unselfconscious posts that nakedly expose his own internal cultural identity conflicts, manifested in his relationship with his mother and his sense of the oppressiveness of the American Jewish culture in which he was raised.

I offered an extended blog analysis in The Malice of Mondoweiss: http://sadredearth.com/the-malice-of-mondoweiss/

Another sign of the utter and complete moral bankruptcy of vast swaths of the American left, which has helped to the rotting away of many once venerable institutions, including The Nation…

The Nation has become a hate magazine no wonder it is in debt.
