    White House Retweets 'Antisemitic' Site in Defense of Iran Deal

    The White House is operating a Twitter account under the name @TheIranDeal to convince the public to support the recent nuclear agreement with Iran.

    Yesterday @TheIranDeal shared a picture from Mondoweiss, claiming that critics who say the deal is not strict enough are mistaken.

    Mondoweiss is a news blogging site that calls itself "anti-Zionist," but is often accused of stepping over the line into anti-Semitism. As legal expert David Bernstein explained in a Washington Post article, "Mondoweiss tries to preserve a fine line between hostility to Jews and hostility to Israel, but every once in a while, Weiss reminds us that the blog’s entire existence owes to the fact that he can’t maintain that separation."
