I find them shady.....

I'm pretty sure that MEMRI was one of the outfits that mistranslated Irans president as saying "wipe Israel off the map" when he actually said something like "erase the zionist idealogy from the pages of time". I only speak english so I can't be %100 sure but from what Ive read they have perpetuated this lie. Also, Norm Finkelstein has called MEMRI an Israeli propaganda arm after it mistranslated one of his interviews.

MEMRI's obsessive interest

Submitted by Chris on Sun, 2010-05-30 11:36.

MEMRI's obsessive interest in protecting Israel derives from the people and interests that founded, fund and manage the institute's international operations.

It was founded in 1998 by Yigal Carmon, a former colonel in the Israel Defense Forces (Intelligence Branch) from 1968 until 1988, acting head of civil administration in the West Bank from 1977 to 1982; and Israeli-born Meyrav Wurmser, an extreme rightwing neoconservative now affiliated with the Hudson Institute.

Meyrav is married to David Wurmser, at one time an American Enterprise Institute "scholar" and then a State Department apparatchik under John Bolton.

Both participated in the collective writing of "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," a seminal 1996 neocon document that advocated an end to negotiations with the Palestinians and permanent war against the Arab world.

They also worked with Douglas Feith, Elliot Abrams, Richard Perle and other rightwing ideologues who promoted and embellished the fiction that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.
