Letter from MER
Though we have been forced to suspend MER yes we are trying to continue in one way or another. We know many of you, as in the first letter to the right, have only found out about MER in recent years. But actually MER has been published since 1996 and the weekly TV program was produced from 1994 until last year.
Last month we told you candidly that after overcoming so many problems and obstacles in the past, then after successfully reorganizing MER last year, we now had to raise funds to to be able to continue and to pursue the plans we have for MER.
But we have only raised so far less than half of what we minimally need and unless many more of you financially support MER immediately at this time we will not be able to continue as we should.
We have made contributing to MER easier than ever. You can do so online using Paypal with your credit/debit card or bank account. Or you can send a check made out to MER to:

"Frankly the last days I felt like my
life is missing something." J.H.
"There is so much to be done and I thank you for
alerting globally conscientious individuals about
the intolerable situations articulated in MER." S.B.
"Please donate to MER. For those of us starving
for the alternative truth, MER has consistently
and reliably reported it to us." G.B.
Dear MER editors,
We have saved your excellent articles for the past two years, after becoming aware of the site through John Laws radio interview with Mark Bruzonsky in Sydney, 2003. (This is one of the best known nationwide radio programs).
I fully apppreciate the dedication of those associated with keeping MER alive as a beacon of truth in our corporatised era. I feel exceedingly guilty that I have not yet contributed for several reasons, but I look forward to embracing the opportunity to assist MER in any capacity from August, 2005. (Just completing Master of Internatonal Relations at Macquarie University and have found your articles have equipped me with insights that I could not find from other sources. It would be good if all Political Science/Middle East/International Relations departments are aware of your site. Your articles would certainly liven up some seminars!)
I am particularly passionate about MIddle East Affairs and believe that MER is assisting many individuals around the world to reinvigorate the quest for justice for he Palestinians, Iraqis and other oppressed peoples, and to formulate strategies for change within a politically, economcally and historically informed context.
There is so much to be done and I thank you for alerting globally conscientious individuals about the intolerable situations articulated in MER.
Warm regards,
Janice Whitworth

I am sending my modest contribution to MER today. I lived for more than 40 years in the Middle East (although I was an Italian citizen, now naturalized American). What I read in MER reflects exactly the situation there. No cover-up. Thank you Marcello - USA
...I take this opportunity to compliment you again on your wonderful work and efforts in support of truth, justice and a genuine lasting peace in the Middle East , particularly in the Holy Lands. Regards,
Tony - Italy
Why is MER is being discontinued? We need an independent voice! Thanks for your excellent and much needed website.

First, may I put on record my appreciation, respect and admiration to MER. Yes, it is coming as the Most Honest, Comprehensive and analytical movement towards reality and uncover to the current era of arrogance, unfair and double face dealings with the Arab & Middle Eastern affairs.

(From last year when AOL tried again to censor MER)For three months, MER has disappeared from AOL. Those of us who counted on you to provide us with another, more balanced view of the Middle East called, wrote, emailed, faxed the powers that be at AOL to give us back our MER. Well, it obviously worked.
During those months, we passed around your articles, contributed to you as best we could, and posted your URL for others to join.
I want to thank MER for not buckling under to pressure from AOL I have contributed once before and will do so again. But mostly I want to thank MER for writing another truth, one that consistently makes sense and provides an alternative view to what is really happening in the Middle East.

Palestinian Statehood Now Showing at MiddleEast.Org
(May 28, 2005)
IN 1992 A GROUP of Jewish professionals organized as The Jewish Committee on the Middle East (JCOME) made a unique half-hour documentary in tribute to the Palestinian people and their 'Intifada' (uprising) to end the brutal Israeli military occupation.
This documentary was broadcast nationally on cable throughout the United States by Deep Dish TV, Free Speech TV, and other networks.
During the first Intifada JCOME also published numerous full-page magazine ads in The New York Review of Books, The Nation, LAWeekly, The Progressive, and other publications in support of the Palestinian quest for independence. These ads and information about JCOME are now at www.MiddleEast.Org/J.
JCOME also published the unique essay by Professor Charles Black, Sterling Professor of Constitutional Law at Yale University, titled "Let Us Rethink Our Special Relationship with Israel" now available at www.MiddleEast.org/black
Correction: The Intifada began in 1987, not 1977 as indicated in the roll-in.
This documentary and others are available on DVD or VHS - www.MiddleEast.Org/orders.
The very first MERTV Program now showing at MiddleEast.Org
(May 18, 2005)
MERTV Program 1. It was in 1994 that MER Publisher Mark Bruzonsky was interviewed about Middle East history and the Israeli-Arab 'Peace Process' on Chicago Access TV -- and that was the start of MERTV. A few months earlier Bruzonsky has provided the live commentary for Canadian CTV throughout the historic White House signing ceremony with Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, and Bill Clinton. Practically alone among the network commentators Bruzonsky explained how and why the agreement being signed with so much fanfare that day was likely to fail. The disasters that have taken place in years since were foreseeable even then and Bruzonsky outlines why right from the start in this first MERTV Program now showing at MiddleEast.Org.
