Israeli soldiers shoot at Palestinian children: a scene that takes place in a daily basis. Yet, a TV show portraying such scene is enough to make the Zionist entity be put on alert… According to the Israeli media, Naor Gilon, deputy head of the Europe Department in the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "reprimanded" the acting Turkish ambassador to Israel over a TV program portraying Israeli soldiers shooting at Palestinian children. "We cannot stand by as blatant incitement against Israel and its soldiers is being aired which could lead to physical harm to Jews and Israelis," Gilon told Jailan Ozen during their meeting Thursday. "The use of stereotypes by a TV show that is viewed by children and adults alike must concern anyone who strives for peace and coexistence among nations and religions in the region and all over the world," Gilon claimed. "The soldiers who are depicted as bloodthirsty killers are the same ones who rushed to the aid of the Turkish people in the wake of the devastating earthquake in 1999," he told the Turkish envoy. The series is broadcast on the state-run TRT1 channel. The producer of the fictional TV series "Ayrilik", which shows Israeli soldiers shooting innocent Palestinian children, said Thursday that he has nothing against Israel. On Wednesday, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman summoned the acting Turkish ambassador to Israel to a meeting with high-ranking ministry officials. "Broadcasting this series is a serious case of state-sponsored incitement. Such a series, which doesn’t even have a weak connection to reality, and which presents the Israeli soldiers as murderers of innocent children, is unworthy of being broadcast in enemy states, let alone in a country which had full diplomatic relations with Israel." Previously ties between Israel and Turkey have deteriorated somewhat since Israel's offensive in the Palestinian Gaza strip. Turkey barred Israel from participating in a NATO war exercise this week and Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said the move was a result of public concerns over the Gaza war. ¬ Source: AJP |
