Happy birthday to us! And thank you to all who value independent news and opinion about Palestine! Below are some highlights of Mondoweiss‘s first thirteen years. We had to work hard to fit so many meaningful moments into the space, so you may need to click on each image to see the text at full size. Below each image you can find links to many of the articles we found particularly memorable.
If you find meaning in the evolution of Mondoweiss as a news source–which we believe reflects the progress of Palestine’s struggle for liberation–please donate today so we can keep providing information in a timely and thoughtful way, to all who need it. If we can raise $13,000 by the end of March 28, 2019, a generous donor has offered to give another $13,000 to advance journalism that powers justice. Please contribute now so we can unlock that challenge gift!

Thanks for being with us on this journey, whether you started on the path many years ago or have joined recently. We are grateful for our readers, and we couldn’t continue without your support.
Hi Tova,
Thank you all at Mondoweiss for your diligence in pursuit of justice and peace in Palestine.
I will certainly continue to support your oh so important work.
Small bug:
The two links –
3A – Israel lobby
3B – journalist’s awakening
are non-functional (Error 404 Page not found)
Thank you, lonelyrico! I didn’t see your comment till now, but I’ll fix those links now!
Hi Tova, just thought i’d mention, since i started volunteering about 5 or 6 years before you came on staff, you may not be aware i’ve written over 1000 posts or articles for mondoweiss, and drafted and edited thousands more for our incredible contributors over the years. i can’t recall when i formally came on staff, but i was doing a lot more than just commenting for years before that, and started writing in 2010. just thought i’d mention because it appears from this timeline i’ve been erased from MW history.
“i’ve written over 1000 posts or articles for mondoweiss, and drafted and edited thousands more ”
And still haven’t mastered the shift key.
Tova here. Annie and everyone, WE SCREWED UP!
Phil had included Annie (and James North) in an early draft of his first message for the campaign, and I should have used that as a template for identifying staff add dates for the timeline. I didn’t.
I am sorry, and I know others who reviewed this timeline are as well. We absolutely know and value Annie’s contributions to Mondoweiss, both past and present (and, I hope, future–despite this absurd, unkind error).
I will get the correct info from Phil and fix the timeline above, and this discussion will serve to remind me of how even those with good intentions and (usually) competent execution can make boneheaded mistakes.
