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.
