Al Jazeera English Goes Live!












M
y goal here has always been to give my opinion of things and the background going on in the Arab World specifically to do with Palestine. Yesterday, that goal became much easier. Al Jazeera English has gone live! If your cable company does not carry it, demand it first of all OR get the feed off the internet here.

I hope that this channel becomes a trusted tool for understanding what is really happening in the Middle East and it's historical underpinnings.

Mabrook Aljazeera!

Aljazeera is better than any News media here in the US. I am glad to see them go live. A couple of my friends have already got it and I will be getting it the 1st of the month. At least they are not afraid to tell all. Beats Fox and CNN.

Is this going to be the typical Arabic channel, SAYING ONE THING IN ARABIC AND A DIFFERENT IN ENGLISH......Is this going to be "Al Jazeera light" so everybody will slowly accept and get used to the "double language": "TAME" in English and "Inflamatory" in Arabic?

I suspect Aljazeera English will be talking about truths that most of the world (minus the West) already understand and that the truths that they report on will be a shock to most in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.

Have a look at this insiders look at Aljazeera English from my friend Laila El-Haddad. [sarcasm ON] Note how the reporters and workers at the station look very civilized and professional.[sarcasm OFF] If it weren't for the Aljazeera logo you would think you were looking at pictures of any Western news organization's facilities.

The western media doesn't seem to have picked up on the beheadings of Christians in southern Thailand, the kidnap and rape of Christian girls in Egypt, the incarceration of journalists in Iran, the beheading of Christians in Iraq....etc. Western media is pretty sympathetic to Jihad.

That sounds like lazy Western journalism to me...and not "sympathetic to Jihad" journalism.

I will repeat myself: I hope that the Arabic and English version are the same...............
