MEMRI Needs $$$
MEMRI, that most excellent Middle East news and outrage translation site, has issued an urgent appeal for donations to continue operations. I’m giving, and if you value the translations you’ve seen here and elsewhere, you should, too. Here’s MEMRI’s appeal and donation page. A little on what MEMRI has given us over the years, with some greatest hits:
- Over the past decade, MEMRI has accumulated the largest open archives of translations and analysis from Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, and Urdu primary sources. These archives include tens of thousands of pages of reports and over 15,000 minutes of translated TV clips from Arab and Iranian TV channels.
- MEMRI releases, on average, over 10 major reports every week, and updates its nine websites and blogs with new information on a daily basis.
- MEMRI IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD THAT OFFERS THIS SERVICE.
WHO IS BENEFITING FROM MEMRI’S WORK
- The U.S. Armed Forces - Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.
- Federal departments and agencies such as the The White House, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Department of Treasury, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Transportation, and others.
- State and local authorities in all 50 states, on homeland security issues.
- Over 500 academic institutions throughout the world. This includes every state in the U.S. as well as 172 countries worldwide.
- And the public at large.
Yeah, all them, and us:
“This Is Not A Western Conspiracy”
That’s just a few. One more time, MEMRI’s donation page here.

Done!
And I would have left the comment at “Done!”, save WordPress is really paranoid about short posts, and told me so.

[...] Jules Crittenden asked on his readers to donate a few bucks to MEMRI, I’d like to do the same. [...]
