MER UPDATE
History has taken major turns since we began MER
many years ago. And while we are all bombarded
more and more with things to read and watch, the
easily available information has become more
suspect and more twisted than ever, and the
crucial analysis of what is really going on has
become more difficult to come by, to trust and
often to even understand.
Indeed even as there is more and more to read
and watch there are also more and more masked
lobbying organizations, pseudo-journalists, and
false "institutes" bought and controlled by
specific interest and pressure groups.
In addition, many news organizations and
publications are now in fact tied to either
corporate, political or lobbying interests that
are also usually disguised. More media
programs and the journalists they employ are at
the mercy of their corporate owners, pressure
groups, funders, and advertisers. When it comes
to the Middle East the Israeli/Jewish lobby and
various groups associated with some of the
wealthy Arab 'client-regimes', not to mention
all the propaganda that is funded and controlled
by the U.S. government in a growing variety of
ways, make it increasingly difficult to sort
through all the ubiquitous media noise and get a
clear-headed, no-nonsense, expert analysis of
what is really going on and why.
In recent months we have made special efforts to
try to reorganize MER for the long term and to
delivery more exclusive and unique information,
analysis and insights than ever before. And we
now have much more planned including the preview
of the new program for Windows computers,
MiddleEast.org, now available at
http://www.MiddleEast.org/mer.
Very sincerely it is now your financial support
that will determine what we can do, how quickly
and effectively, and with what outreach and
impact. For MER to continue and to become
better known there is simply no substitute for
independent financial contributions from those
of you who regularly read MER and have come
to know and appreciate MER best in recent years.
Please remember that for MER to be able to
sustain our efforts and move ahead as we are
planning we have to have completely independent
funding from those of you who really do
understand and appreciate the "News,
information, & Analysis That Governments,
Interest Groups, and the Corporate Media Don't
Want You To Know!"

Thank you very much.

Hi ,
Thank u for the comprehensive and informative coverage of affairs in the Middle East which is of concern to all peace loving citizens world wide. Your news coverage is
vital in the interests of truth and justice as so much propaganda , lies and disinformation is spread by the U.S.A and Israel to deceive the world.
I am appalled, shocked, horrified and disgusted at what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinian people . It is incomprehensible that the United Nations are sitting back
idly and allowing such atrocities and human rights abuses to be perpetrated on a daily basis. Where is the conscience of the World ?
...Please continue to keep people informed and enlightened as to what is happening
and to dispel the lies which Israel is telling the world . Thank u for the work that u
are doing.
Regards,
Lawrence Puren

You beat the best sources in the USA and I am grateful for your work.
May we have more articlex or exerpts from Arab, Druz, Iranian , Muslim and selections of the range of views in the world of Jewish Press, pehaps like the old Atlas Magazine which I believe boasted of collecting fragments
of , " The Best of World's Press !"
Grateful for your work,

Dear Sirs,
We are satisfied and thankful for the news, views and analysis that we receive from you and specially those that are hidden from us by the mainstream media. We also appreciate the efforts you are making to improve
your presentation constantly. We do feel bad that from here we are unable to contribute to your efforts except to wish you well.
Being in Bangladesh and not having many of us able to have or use computers we do share your despatches with others and everybody shares the thoughts on your positive and truthful works....
This is indeed a sad and brutal world despite all the glamour and material progresses achieved. In reality we have only become purely materialistic and greedy with hardly any matching development in outlook and values...
With warm regards and many many thanks,
I remain,
Yours sincerely,

Very informative news. You have a scary profile of Benny Morris, a so-called liberal. You have the facts, past and present. Now for a way to send a contribution...and remain out of trouble for publishing truth?
