WARNING: Blood and Violence

Israel's increasingly troubled relations with its main ally in the Muslim world took a turn two days ago when it formally protested to Turkey over the "incitement" generated by a television series featuring fictional scenes of barbaric acts by Israeli soldiers.
The airing of the series, on Turkish state television, coincides with tensions triggered by a decision last week by Ankara to exclude Israel - which it has severely criticised over last winter's war in Gaza - from a planned Nato air exercise.
The acting Turkish ambassador, Ceylan Ozen, was summoned yesterday to the Israeli foreign ministry in protest at the drama series Ayrilik which shows soldiers brutalising Palestinians. In one abbreviated sequence shown on YouTube, a soldier is seen gratuitously shooting a girl at close range, killing her. In another, Palestinians are apparently about to be executed by a firing squad. (Source: Donald Macintyre, The Independent)
The question is: Will our Arabic TV channels pick this Turkish TV Drama that focus on Palestine and the Israeli occupation like they did with other dramas' like Noor [Complete TV Series (Arabic DVD)]
I doubt it, but let's watch and see!
