Journalist [[Bradley Burston]], writing for ''[[Haaretz]]'', described ''Mondoweiss'' as "avowedly anti-Israel" in reference to its coverage of the [[2014 kidnapping and murder of Israeli teenagers]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/a-special-place-in-hell/.premium-1.602431/.premium-1.602431|title=Kidnap Denial: Blaming the victim of tragedy|last=Burston|first=Bradley|date=July 1, 2014|work=[[Haaretz]]|access-date=July 2, 2014}}</ref> In 2013 ''Haaretz'' called ''Mondoweiss'' a "progressive Jewish website".<ref>[http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/.premium-1.562732 "Mock funding drive launched to send Bibi to Mandela service"].

In 2015, [[David Bernstein (law professor)|David Bernstein]], writing for ''[[The Washington Post]]'', called the website a "hate site", and listed quotes from Weiss that he said were anti-Semitic. This included Weiss' claim that "the Israel lobby ... reflected a contract the American establishment had made with Jews to drive the economy in the 1970s",<ref name="WP2015">{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/05/04/mondoweiss-is-a-hate-site/|title='Mondoweiss' is a hate site (UPDATED)|website=[[The Washington Post]]}}</ref> which Bernstein likened to a belief in an "[[Elders of Zion]] type group".

According to Elliot Kaufman, the Vice President of Cardinal for Israel, a Stanford University group, writing in ''[[The Stanford Review]]'', ''Mondoweiss'' "often publishes astonishingly anti-Semitic material, using classic anti-Semitic imagery such as depicting Jews as spiders, cockroaches, or octopuses with tentacles controlling others, and Holocaust inversion. Its hatred of Israel is as deep as it is vicious."<ref name="StanfordReview">{{cite news|last1=Kaufman|first1=Eliot|title=Stanford's Most Radical Professor Strikes Again|url=http://stanfordreview.org/article/stanfords-most-radical-professor-strikes-again/|access-date=13 April 2016|work=[[The Stanford Review]]|date=12 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160414205309/http://stanfordreview.org/article/stanfords-most-radical-professor-strikes-again/|archive-date=April 14, 2016|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
