The mere fact I am responding to this means you have reached me;
that
is you have reached somebody who is neither Palestinian, Muslim
or Jew.
I am simply a person digging for some truth in this world, and
I see in
the plight of the Palestinians and in the Arab world in general,
the
gravest injustices. Now I believe there are people like me
all over
the world, even in America, perhaps even amongst the Israelis.
You
have reached me and I shall reach many others to spread the word
that
all is not as it seems with American Middle East politics...
I shall be watching the news on MER with great interest.
Yours, Nick Sault

Salam All,
I will definitely support your efforts. I am proud
to see that my
Alma Mater (The University of Texas at Austin) is represented.
Keep up the good work, Karima
==================================================
Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm extremely grateful
for your newsletters for they allow the
younger people, who are usually dependent upon the media's hypocritical
and biased news, to assimilate information about the true day-to-day
incidents which occur in the Middle East. Your noble efforts
allow the
true realities to be known by those that wish to learn the truth
and I,
along with many other recipients, are truly grateful.
Thank you kindly.

I am Palestinian. My family had to leave their land in 1948 when
the
massacres of Deir Yassin and othr adjacent towns occured. I was
born
and raised in Jordan and now I reside in California. I have to
admit
that throughout my research for a good source of information about
Palestine, MER was the best and I thank you for that.
I really want to help MER in any way I can and appreciate the
opportunity.
Cordially,
Basim Saleh

Salam,
My name is Amer Alshawa, and I am the president of the Islamic
Association for Palestine in North America. I am interested
in
having a dialogue regarding possible cooperation between us. I
admire your work, and I do believe that we can together make
a difference.
Wa Assalamu Alaikum.
Yours in Islam,

Hello, my name is Sami Mashney. I am an Arab American attorney
I read your piece concerning the 50th Year Anniversary. I completely
agree with your grim yet factual assesment of the situation and
your
characterisation of most (not all) of the persons and organisations
mentioned in your piece.
Please send me more information. I am more angry and frustrated
than you are.

==================================================
Dear Sir,
I really enjoy your
messages for the reason that they are very
informative and critical of all contemparary Middle Eastern issues.
I
can also say that the insight you provide is valuable in that it
presents
your listeners with a view that is unavailable in the mainstream
media.
I would like to thank you for having the courage to speak out against
injustice, corruption and oppression... Thank you and God Bless...

Insha'Allah you receive this email in the best of health and IMAAN.
I just received a subscription of one of your emails from a friend.
I

like to
subscribe to your weekly emails.

Subject: Congratulations!
MER is indeed a breath of fresh air. I am almost choked with the
deceits
partial truths, and blatant lies of the everyday news that we read
in
the conventional media, until I saw your site.
Its a shame, though for the established news agencies of the world
that
despite their HUGE resources, they cannot even tell the world of
the
basic and simple truths about what is really happening in the mideast,
or for that matter, the world, today?
My deepest appreciation are due to those in MER. Keep it up.
Warmest Regards.

==================================================
For some time I have viewed your site with interest and understanding.
I thank you for your courage and dedication and I hope you may

to
join your subscriptions.

I will be sending a check for $100 today. Keep up the good
work. The video with Fisk was very informative. When
will
the Israeli's learn not to lie? And our government, too.

Hi MER - As someone who takes every opportunity to alert
both Arabs and non-Arabs to the grave situation in the
Arab World and thus in the world, I know what it means
for someone to give his/her word of support. Please, note
that I really appreciate what you are saying and doing.
Thanks,
Hazim :)

You have, and still do a wonderful job in telling the world of
what
other news media wouldn't dare to do... Please continue to broadcast
the facts. Let the world know of the truth. I'm guilty of not doing
even one tenth of what you are doing.

Dear COME - At the moment I'm able only to give you spiritual support.
I
work these days almost exclusively as a volunteer for a Palestinian
school
on the West Bank... I am very grateful for the chance to benefit
by
receiving your articles, and the gratitude is all I know I can
give at
present. I'm writing to let you know I heard you and why
I'm not sending
money now. May others pour it on.
Sincerely,
Gene Sandretto, Jerusalem
