The use or misuse of information is central to the conflict in the Middle East. There has been a growing need for supporters of, in particular, the Palestinian cause, to master the art of information gathering, analysis and dissemination. This requires well organised, focused and targeted operations. Such initiatives are virtually non-existent in the West today. The Middle East Monitor (MEMO) was established to fill this gap.

It, however, distances itself from the other extreme, namely, designed provocation that is common in Western media’s China reportage.

Moon of Alabama er en uavhengig politisk blogg som tilbyr dypgående analyser og kommentarer om internasjonal politikk, økonomi og globale konflikter.

Nettstedet ble opprinnelig startet som en videreføring av fellesskapet rundt den kjente bloggen Whiskey Bar, som ble drevet av den anonyme amerikanske bloggeren "Billmon" under Irak-krigen. Navnet er inspirert av Bertolt Brechts kjente sang "Alabama Song" (også kjent som "Moon of Alabama").
