Since Hamas terrorists launched their attack on Israel early on the morning of October 7, 2023, MEMRI teams at MEMRI headquarters in Washington, D.C. and in Jerusalem, and around the world, have been working around the clock to bring you up-to-the minute translations from primary source materials, and original analysis. The translated MEMRI TV clips we released during this time have had over 50 million views.
In the days and weeks since October 7, we have published an unprecedented number – approaching 500 – reports, clips, and analysis pieces. They include statements by the leadership of Hamas, Iran, and other Iran-backed organizations in the region; rereleases from the MEMRI and MEMRI TV archives of reports and clips that are relevant to today's war; reporting and opinions from the Arab media; and more. Additionally, since October 7, we have sent out over 200 emails of our research to subscribers.
MEMRI research, with its significant intelligence value, is filling a major void, and is being used by governments and militaries. In MEMRI's 25th year, we again prove that we are on the cutting edge in this field.
But our research and translation teams are feeling the strain. There is so much more of this primary source material that MEMRI needs to monitor, translate, and distribute. We are appealing to you, our loyal readers, to help us hire more staff to monitor and translate more primary source content and distribute it to governments, legislatures, media, and readers like you.
We are experts in this – we have been exposing extremism, antisemitism, and jihadi threats for over 25 years. Nobody else is doing the work that we do.

MEMRI TV CLIPS GO VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA – OVER 50 MILLION VIEWS
Many of the MEMRI TV clips we have released since October 7 have gone viral on social media, with views in the tens of millions. Below are some of these top clips.
In these difficult days, MEMRI is continuing to "bridge the language gap," providing governments, legislatures, law enforcement bodies, and academia, in the U.S. and across the West, with the statements by Hamas and other Gaza terrorist organizations – what they themselves are saying. We are monitoring these sources and these important developments and reporting about them days before they appear in media elsewhere.
MEMRI staff – researchers, translators, editors, and technical and distribution teams – are working around the clock every single day. The work we are doing is exacting and exhausting, and producing this research is very expensive. There is much to do, and we can only cover so much. We need your help today.
