Memri publishes two kinds of Arabic articles: extremist and progressive. The translations are very high quality and carefully footnoted. As for the Guardian saying they don't publish the same kind of article from the Hebrew press, that is absurd. The same kind of articles, the spewing of hatred, doesn't exist in Hebrew, except among fringe groups like the Kahanists, who are illegal in Israel, btw. Anybody is free to look at the other sources, many of which are already published in English. If you want to see a far-right Israeli source, look at www.israelnationalnews.com for Arutz Sheva, a source too right wing to be allowed to broadcast in Israel. If you could do the same selection out of major Israeli papers, don't you think someone would have?

Sig. Thanks for posting that article on MEMRI. I was not aware of who runs that institute or why. However the article did not say that MEMRI lied or was wrong but seemed to be suggesting that MEMRI has an agenda. I'm sure you read MEMRI's response to that article. Media organisation rebuts accusations of selective journalism A Guardian Unlimited article recently questioned the neutrality of a US-based institute that translates articles from Arabic newspapers.
