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.

| Birth
of a new Palestinian leader: Abeer
Qibti, a
Palestinian young woman from Al-Nasserah (Nazareth),
participated in a TV show called "Looking for a
leader," in Channel 2 of the Israeli TV. Abeer Qibti
was the strongest among the four finalists in the show,
which is a form of Donald Trump's show, "The
Assistant." The team of the show judges disqualified
Abeer when she refused to stand up in respect to the Israeli
national anthem. She explained her position saying that she
would not show respect to the symbols of Zionist racism even
if this means the loss of $1.1 million, the value of the
award she was expected to win. (Alquds Alarabi, 6/4/05). |
