Israel Objects to Turkish TV Show

(AP)  Israel's foreign minister has ordered ministry officials to summon Turkey's ambassador in Israel and protest to him over a Turkish TV series that reportedly portrays Israeli soldiers murdering innocent children.

It is the latest twist in worsening relations between the two Mediterranean countries which have traditionally had close defense ties.

The show graphically portrays Israeli soldiers shooting Palestinian children, including babies. Israeli commentators said the TV show is a new form of anti-Semitism, reports CBS News correspondent Robert Berger from Jerusalem.

A foreign ministry statement issued Wednesday night quoted minister Avigdor Lieberman as saying that the program screened by Turkish state TV constituted incitement against Israel "at the most grave level."

Muslim Turkey accuses Israel of war crimes in Gaza, and strategic ties between the two countries have plummeted since Israel's January offensive against Islamic militants in the Gaza Strip, which killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians.

You gotta respect the Turks... Unlike America... They haven't yet sold-out their country to the Israel-First traitors.

Turkey is what nazi germany would have been if the Germans had gotten away with the Holocaust.

Remember the Armenian Genocide.

An appropriate consequence of NOT approaching the peace table at an earlier hour, allowing continued building of Jewish Settlements in occupied lands that properly belong to the anticipated Palestinian State, and lastly unleashing a military reponse in civilian areas when a political response would have had better effect towards settlement issues and isolating both Hamas and Hezbollah with a profound support for the Fatah PLO State.

Israel can astound the world by announcing a date for withdrawal and removal of Jewish settlers and recognition of the de facto Palestinian State and assistance to the PM there.

Or it can be dragged into the next most horrible war in which untold thousands will die by refusing a UN mandated date of Withdrawal and Peace Accords for the establishment of a Palestinian State.

Israeli citizens are already outnumbered by the soaring birth rates of the arab communities. The time for recognition has come. The alternative means Israel really is in the box to perpetrate such crimes.

It isn't enough for Israel to impose censorship on their own media, but they now want to impose it on other countries as well. FM Lieberman is a product of the Soviet propaganda system and cannot break his bad habits.

? It must have been an unenviable challenge for the Israel Foreign Ministry to endeavor to try to discredit the report of the eminent South African Jurist, Judge Goldstone, who has an impeccable record in the field of human and civil rights, both at home and abroad. The first insuperable problem was that he is not only a recognized authority on international human rights legislation and convention, but he is Jewish! So the standard allegation of anti-Semitism, was impossible. They could not attack his professional record, which was impeccable. So what action could be taken in damage limitation?
? The matter has suddenly become urgent. If the world fully accepts the report, then Israel is branded a human rights violator and a perpetrator of war crime. The international community has been shocked at the allegations of gratuitous killing of hundreds of innocent children and over a hundred women in three weeks of unchecked violence, together with the destruction of Gaza's infrastructure including 'houses, factories, wells, schools, hospitals, police stations and other public buildings'.
? The Report alleges 'an overall and continuing policy aimed at punishing the Gaza population, and a deliberate policy of disproportionate force aimed at the civilian population.' That, the Report states, 'could lead a competent court to find that the crime of persecution, a crime against humanity, has been commited.'
? The Israeli Government is in deep trouble as the allegations become more widely known, because there are few who now believe its denials and fewer still, its continuing propaganda. And there is a palpable sense of shock as the evidence unfolds as to what transpired in those three weeks of state-sponsored killing and destruction, under the pretext of self-defense.

Americans are the only ones who believe what Israelis say.Everyone else knows.Ask yourself:"Would you like somebody to treat your country the way Palestine is?Would you like your children to live the way Palestinian children do?".And you will know the truth immediately,you do not need deep analysis.But there are a lot of evil people in America who brand these suferrers "terrorists" because they want to be free citizens of their own land.This Israel is the greatest shame on Earth since the hollocaust.Shame on all people of any significance for shutting up and letting this open fascism going on!

You "earth" shut up and give Palestinians their land back!
