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 photos, cartoons,
news articles, and opinion articles.
These materials represent reactions
of authors 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.

Palestinians inspect the damage to a car after it was hit
by a missile in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza, October 21,
2004 that assassinated a top bomb maker of the Palestinian
resistance group, Hamas, Adnan Al-Ghoul. This is
part of the Sharon's strategy of perpetuating the conflict
with the Palestinian people. Israeli assassination of
Palestinians are designed to provoke Palestinian suicide
bombing or rocket attacks, which are then used as a
justification for more assassinations and aggression. Thus
the conflict continues and with it the US military,
economic, and financial aid continues, which is a major
goal of the "War on Terror."
