Dear Readers,

Opinions expressed in various sections are the sole responsibility of their authors and they may not represent Al-Jazeerah's. In particular, Al-Jazeerah may not agree, approve, condone, or acquiesce any of the published cartoons.

These cartoons represent reactions of Arab cartoonists to American foreign policy in the Middle East, Israeli occupation policies and practices in occupied Palestine, or policies and practices of Arab governments and Arab rulers.

The main objective is to enable English readers all over the world, particularly in the US and Israel, to know about the impact of the policies of these governments on Arabs and Muslims.

When people are more aware of the consequences of policies of their governments, cross-cultural understanding increases, which leads to a more just and peaceful world ... That is the essence of the Al-Jazeerah.info Mission.
