The Middle East Monitor (MEMO) is a not-for-profit[1] press monitoring organisation, founded on 1 July 2009.[2] MEMO is largely focused on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, but writes about other issues in the Middle East as well. It has a Spanish edition.[3]

Staff

The staff and contributors of MEMO include Daud Abdullah, Ibrahim Hewitt and Ben White. One of MEMO's honorary advisers is Tariq Ramadan, an Oxford University lecturer.[4]

MEMO Publishers

MEMO Publishers is a venture by the Middle East Monitor, with the first book published in June 2012. It publishes a range of authors who write about the Middle East, as well as providing a platform for up and coming writers to share their work about the region.[5]

Criticism

According to Ehud Rosen, MEMO generally supports Islamist positions within Palestinian politics.[6] According to Andrew Gilligan, the Middle East Monitor promotes a strongly pro-Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Hamas viewpoint.[7]

Anshel Pfeffer described MEMO as a "conspiracy theory-peddling anti-Israel organisation".[8]

MEMO has been called antisemitic by Community Security Trust, an organisation for security for the Jewish community in the UK.[9][10]

Some of the staff of the Middle East Monitor as well as the similar Middle East Eye are also active in Interpal, which has been designated as a terror supporting ground in Israel as well as being in on the United States Treasury’s list of specially designated terrorist organisation. The site itself is sympathetic to Hamas, and the Hamas website and social media accounts post and share material from the Middle East Eye.[11]
