Dear Friend,
For the past quarter of a century, MEMRI has been providing vital research, primary source translations, and original analysis to the governments of the U.S. and its allies, and to their counterterrorism officials, law enforcement agencies, militaries, and other authorities, assisting them in tackling threats and facing adversaries. We work with news organizations and media to inform their understanding of the complexities of issues and developments in all these countries, and serve as a valuable resource for academia worldwide
As a loyal reader and previous donor, you know about our vital research, translations from primary sources, and original analysis. We would welcome a chance to explain why MEMRI deserves your support.
With the ongoing war in Gaza, the Iranian aggression, Qatar's ongoing support for jihadi terrorism, and heightened tensions in the region and across the U.S. and the West, our work is more crucial than ever. Please consider helping support MEMRI today.
No other organization does the work that we are doing.
The MEMRI Sermons by Imams in the West project publishes MEMRI TV clips of hate-filled sermons by imams throughout the U.S. and Canada, including expressions of support for the October 7 Hamas attacks, appeals to Allah to annihilate all the Jews, "the brothers of apes and pigs," and more. These clips have prompted widespread criticism from political leaders and public apologies from some imams.
IMAMS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR OCTOBER 7 HAMAS ATTACKS
Hamas In Its Own Words Since The October 7 Attack
Since October 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded southern Israel, killing over 1,200 people and kidnapping over 240 to Gaza, much of our focus has been on the Israel-Hamas war. We have translated and published statements by Hamas leaders, expressions of both support and condemnation for Hamas by government officials and in media from across the Arab and Muslim world, inflammatory antisemitic, anti-Israel, anti-U.S., and even pro-Hamas rhetoric by imams in mosques across the U.S. and the West, and much more. MEMRI maintains the largest archives in the world of translations of Hamas and Palestinian content over the past 25 years.

The MEMRI Iran Media Project
Our Iran Media Project closely follows developments in Iran – including its nuclear development, as more and more top regime officials indicate in their statements that Iran is close to nuclear breakout and about to join the world's nuclear club. This, they say, is because of the threat that Iran faces from Israel. It will be recalled that Iran is determined, as expressed many times, to eliminate Israel, against which it launched the largest missile attack in history in April.
MEMRI Research On Qatar
MEMRI has extensively covered Qatar, the Wahhabi/Muslim Brotherhood extremist entity in the guise of a purportedly modern nation state that is the world's largest sponsor of Islamist terrorism, which is promoted worldwide, inter alia, via its Al-Jazeera news network. To Western eyes, it depicts itself as a modern Westernized political player, engaged in conflict mediation, usually in order to legitimize the terrorist organizations it supports, such as Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and Hamas.

MEMRI Research On Russia And China – Including Their Links To Hamas
In addition to the most recent events and developments in the Arab and Muslim world, MEMRI focuses as well on Russia and China, via their media – because these have ramifications for U.S. security and the welfare of U.S. citizens.
Russia – Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the MEMRI Russian Media Studies Project (RMSP) has been closely monitoring, translating, and analyzing reactions to the Ukraine-Russia war. Additionally, since October 7, the project is focusing on Russia's increasingly open relationship with and support for Hamas.
China – As China explores opportunities to take advantage of the current Israel-Gaza war to move against Taiwan and the Philippines in the South China Sea, it expands its relations with the largely anti-Israel global South; also reflective of this is increasing antisemitism in Chinese media. MEMRI's Chinese Media Studies Project (CMSP) is covering it all.
ONE OF THE U.S.'s MOST PRODUCTIVE THINK TANKS FOCUSED ON THE MIDDLE EAST
As one of the most productive nonprofit think tanks in the U.S. focusing on the Middle East and South Asia and on threats to the U.S. and the West, our research output equals or surpasses that of similar organizations many times our size with many times our budget. So far this year, we have published over 400 translations, analysis pieces, and special analysis briefs, and released 350 MEMRI TV clips. On social media – YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram – we have over 500,000 followers.
