according to al manar's news director, hassan fadlallah, al manar does not aim to be neutral in its broadcasting, "neutrality like that of al jazeera is out of the question for us," fadlallah said. "we cover only the victim, not the aggressor. cnn is the zionist news network, al jazeera is neutral, and al manar takes the side of the palestinians...he said al manar's opposition to neutrality means that, unlike al jazeera, his station would never feature interviews or comments by israeli officials. "we're not looking to interview sharon," fadlallah said. "we want to get close to him in order to kill him."
