Mondoweiss — news and analysis on Palestine and U.S. foreign policy
An independent news organization founded in 2006 by journalist Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss covers developments in Israel/Palestine and related U.S. foreign policy through original on-the-ground reporting, scholarly analysis, and personal stories.
Mondoweiss is an independent news organization that reports on developments in Israel/Palestine and related U.S. foreign policy, providing news and analysis regarding the struggle for Palestinian human rights that is unavailable through mainstream media. It was founded in 2006 as the personal blog of journalist Philip Weiss and grew inside the progressive Jewish community into a widely read news site with a large group of regular contributors.
Today Mondoweiss publishes original on-the-ground reporting from Palestine — including a Gaza correspondent and Palestine-based staff writers — alongside analysis by scholars and personal stories, while continuing to follow debates over the role of Israel and nationalism in Jewish American life. The site maintains complete editorial independence from its donors and operates as part of The Center for Economic Research and Social Change, a U.S. 501(c)(3) organization.
Why it matters

- Documents shifts in American Jewish and public opinion on Israel/Palestine that mainstream outlets have been slow to cover.
- Gives a platform to Palestinian writers and viewpoints generally ignored by large media outlets.
