MONDOWEISS LAUNCHES ANTI-SEMITIC ATTACK ON NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF ‘THE ATLANTIC’

[shira]

1. More from the OP, demonstrating Mondoweiss bigotry...

While Mondoweiss’s anti-Semitism starts from the top, it is by no means limited to its namesake. Editor-at-large Annie Robbins has publicly denied the existence of the Jewish Temples on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, a classic anti-Semitic myth debunked by historians and archaeologists, and disputed even by the Islamic Waqf that controls the site.

Unsurprisingly given its content and editorial direction, Mondoweiss’s comments section teems with anti-Semites, so much so that the site’s founders felt compelled to announce a crackdown on them in 2012. But given that the overseers are themselves guilty of fomenting such hatred, little has actually changed, as Robbins’s 2013 Temple Mount comments and Weiss’s recent output demonstrate. Infamously, after white supremacist Glenn Miller shot up a Kansas Jewish community center in 2014, Robbins herself stoked a conspiracy in the site’s comments that he was an Israeli agent, before walking it back.
