Israel/Palestine

Those two paragraphs describe what makes Mondoweiss an anti-Israel propaganda site. That bias alone discredits the site to a large degree. People who think anti-Israel propaganda sites are by definition anti-Semitic, since they are targeted against the only Jewish state, will conclude that Mondoweiss is anti-Semitic - in effect and possibly in its motivation -- further discrediting it. But people who think being anti-Israel no matter how strong is not the same as being anti-Semitic can (absent additional evidence) see Mondoweiss as the former but not the latter. Even stipulating that anti-Semitic effect is not evidence of anti-Semitic intent, and that an obsession with the existence of the one Jewish state is not necessarily related to the Jewishness of the state as opposed, the evidence is that Mondoweiss' anti-Israel position makes it more propaganda than anything else.

This line in particular resonates as a summary of the goal of Mondoweiss for its readers:

"The force of hatred towards Zionists becomes overpowering: no normal decent person could have anything but the deepest contempt for such a gang of deceitful violent criminals."

For people who already have that belief, or have come to it, Mondoweiss feeds an anger addiction. For people who are able to see Zionists as human beings - even if they disagree on many points, this kind of blind hate throws a wrench in any efforts to get toward a better situation.
