Career
Weiss is the author of the novel Cock-a-doodle-doo (1996)[5] and the non-fiction book American Taboo: A Murder In The Peace Corps (2004).[6] He co-edited The Goldstone Report: The Legacy of the Landmark Investigation of the Gaza Conflict (2011) with Adam Horowitz and Lizzy Ratner.[7]
Other Writing
Weiss has written for Spy magazine,[8] New York magazine,[9] Harper's,[10] Esquire, and The New York Observer.[11][12]
In 2006 he began writing a daily blog called Mondoweiss for The New York Observer website which began to focus only on "Jewish issues" like "the Iraq disaster and my Jewishness, Zionism, neo-conservatism, Israel, Palestine." In the spring of 2007, he began Mondoweiss as an unaffiliated blog.[13][14]
The Goldstone Report
Weiss and Horowitz, along with Lizzy Ratner, co-edited the 2011 book The Goldstone Report: The Legacy of the Landmark Investigation of the Gaza Conflict.
In a Democracy Now! interview, Horowitz discussed Richard Goldstone's later correction of one item in his report, his saying "Civilians were not intentionally targeted [by Israel] as a matter of policy." Horowitz said that he viewed this as a minor issue and "[m]uch larger was the issue of intentionally attacking the civilian infrastructure of Gaza, which he doesn't mention, and the idea of just disproportionate and indiscriminate violence, which he doesn't address and which affects civilians disproportionately."[18][19]
