October 6, 2023
Special Announcements No. 1397

Thank you for your loyal support in the past. Our Fall 2023 fundraising campaign is now underway. Please read below why it is important to continue to donate to MEMRI. If you have donated recently, we would like to thank you again; your donation is still being processed.

We continue to work with 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. 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 one of the most productive U.S.-based think tanks, so far in 2023 we have published 303 Special Dispatch translations, 81 Inquiry and Analysis reports and Daily Briefs, and 355 MEMRI TV clips, which have had over 5 million views to date. On social media – YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram – we have over 470,000 followers.

We need your help to continue our critical work. With recent world events and heightened tensions in the region as well as domestically, it is more crucial than ever. No one else is doing the work that we do. 

Major developments we are covering include:

  • Russia, China, And Iran: The New Anti-West Axis – Russia, China, and Iran are coordinating their activities with joint planning and military exercises, and visits by senior military commanders to other countries' military bases. Iran has been supplying advanced drones to Russia; China has recently been providing Russia with additional military aid through Iran; Russia and Iran have been cooperating in cyber operations; and Iran's naval commander has openly stated that Iran's fleet can reach America's coast. Additionally, North Korea has recently joined this axis. MEMRI research has revealed that the primary targets of this new and dangerous axis are the U.S. and Israel.

  • There is a critical need for comprehensive, specialized research – involving analysis of primary source materials in multiple languages – into this interconnected threat. MEMRI's Russian Media Studies Project (RMSP), Chinese Media Studies Project (CMSP), and Iran Studies Project are closely monitoring these developments and meeting this need.

  • Palestinians – MEMRI continues to expose antisemitism, incitement to violence and even Holocaust denial by the Palestinian Authority. Most recently, our translated video clip of antisemitic and Holocaust denial statements by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas led to condemnation of these statements by governments worldwide, as well as global media coverage. MEMRI was the only one to expose and translate these statements. 

YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE GIFT SUPPORTS ALL OF OUR VITAL WORK AND PROJECTS, SUCH AS:

  • MEMRI TV – This is the only project of its kind in the world – neither the U.S. intelligence community nor anyone else does this work. The project provides around-the-clock translations of nearly 100 Arab, Iranian, Urdu, Turkish, Russian, and Chinese TV channels, and offering in-depth insight into complex situations that other sources cannot. To date, MEMRI TV clips have had over 350 million views across the web.

  • Lantos Archives on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial – Named after the late honorable Congressman and Holocaust survivor Tom Lantos, this project exposes Muslim antisemitism in the Arab and Muslim world and the West and maintains the world's largest archives on this subject.
