"The Ma'an Network was launched in 2002 as a partnership between Bethlehem TV and local Palestinian media organizations.
"The name Ma'an is the Arabic word for 'together'.
"The group is run by Raed Othman, the former manager of Bethlehem TV. Ma'an has produced three soap operas (one of which, Mazih fi Jad (Joking Seriously), was described as the first television drama series produced in the Palestinian territories), numerous news and public affairs programs and the television film Kafah.
"Ma'an's programs are broadcast by ten independent terrestrial television stations in the West Bank and occasionally by the Fatah-run Palestine TV satellite broadcaster.[3][4]
"The Ma'an News Agency was launched in 2005 with funding from the Danish and Dutch Representative Offices to the Palestinian National Authority.[1] The news agency is the most visible component of the Ma'an Network.[4] In 15 May, the Ma'an network launched an eCommerce website called Maan Souq."
Because we all know Jews never lie.
