      It’s interesting that this fact check website heavily leans on what the ADL says. The ADL is highly problematic, and definitely biased against anything pro-Palestinian, so not sure what to make of this report.

        I linked the wiki for the news site. It was founded by Pro-Palestinian Jews (Yes, they exist). All news is biased. You can decide for yourself if it’s factual.

        Yeah, reading through the ADL reasoning, one of the articles they use to justify its accusation that Mondoweiss is antisemitic is actually discussing how ultra rightwing and ultra religious some of the recently elected candidates are, and to whom Netanyahu was trying to work closely with.

        “Another story, Yes ‘Jewish Power’ party is fascistic, but its rise was inevitable is also very negative toward Israeli Jews.”

        So an article discussing the election of 6 problematically hard right, ultra religios, Israeli Zionists, and their histories, beliefs and background, in ADL’s eyes is a negative anti-semitic article on all Israelis Jews?

        That’s a very long bow to stretch.

      You don’t think I checked it already. Mediabiasfactcheck labels it anti-Semitic, when it was literally founded by two Jews. Source. Stop dismissing sources just because you don’t like the facts they’re reporting. I like to believe people have media literacy, and can check sources themselves. They don’t need your “help.”

          1. Mediabiasfactcheck exists in a capitalist/corporate system. It is in their interest to not rock the boat or they get censored. Source

          2. Since you made the claim, the burden of proof is on you to find another source you deem acceptable.

            That’s not how it works. Like, not at all. Not even close.
