*[[Elie Wiesel]] – Professional intellectual and Holocaust survivor ([http://www.amin.org/eng/uri_avnery/2005/mar20.html as Uri Avnery] refers to him), member of the Irgun Zvei Leumi [http://jewishpeople.net/eliewiesel.html], and professional moralist.
::"I hope you receive MEMRI's publications. I do. I find its material – translations and analyses of poisonous articles, hate-filled statements and slanderous accusations – vitally needed for the fight against antisemitism in the Arab world. Policy makers, legislators, teachers, and news commentators greatly benefit from its efforts to use truth in the service of peace."<br>- Elie Wiesel, May 22, 2003[http://www.memri.org/aboutus.html]
