MEMRI

The Middle East Media and Research Institute (MEMRI) is an American non-profit organization specialized in Arabic and Muslim media monitoring. It focuses on extremist comments by Arab and Iranian leaders and communications from terrorist groups.

MEMRI was co-founded by Israeli ex-intelligence officer Yigal Carmon and Israeli-American political scientist Meyrav Wurmser in 1998. MEMRI describes itself as being independent and non-partisan. Some critics have described MEMRI as aiming to portray the Arab world and the Islamic world in a negative light by producing and disseminating incomplete or inaccurate translations of the original versions of the media reports that it republishes.
