A Turkish television drama series told on Thursday Palestinian's grief in a sensitive case among Turkish people, depicting an Israeli soldier shooting dead a Palestinian baby.

"Separation" underlines that the believe will not dissappear in the holy territory which becomes symbol of the humanitarian joint place for both Palestinians and Israelis without discrimination between Muslims or Jews.
TRT is sponsoring the 13-episodes series with the motto "7 countries, 7 headliners".

First episode, titled "Palestine in Love and War", was shot in the first qibla (direction of the Muslim prayers) Al-Aqsa mosque and the most important place for Jewish believers, Wailing Wall.



Other episodes of "Separation" was shot in Armenia, Chechnya, Iran, Ozbekstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan alongside Turkey.


Israeli reaction

Previously close ties between the Jewish state and Turkey, a secular state with a Muslim population, have deteriorated since Israel's offensive in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Islamist Hamas.

Israel summoned a Turkish diplomat to protest at what it called "state-sponsored incitement" by state-owned TRT television's "Separation" series, in which actors playing Israeli soldiers and Palestinians fight street battles in Quds (Jerusalem).

The show's producer, Selcuk Cobanoglu, told Reuters, "If the Israeli government is disturbed with this, it means they are disturbed with the reality when we go there and eyewitness what is happening there."

The scene, broadcast on Israel's Channel Two television on Wednesday, showed a Palestinian father holding a baby above his head and an Israeli soldier deliberately shooting the infant.


Gaza assault

Israel's three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip in December and January killed 1,417 Palestinians, including 926 civilians, a a Palestinian rights group says.



Ten Israeli soldiers and three civilians were killed during the campaign, which Israel targeted public areas such as hospitals, schools and mosques.

During a meeting with the Turkish embassy charge d'affairs, a Foreign Ministry official said Israel "cannot stand by when such blatant incitement is being broadcast against Israel and (Israeli) soldiers," a statement issued by the ministry said.

The official also said the portrayal of Israeli soldiers as "a master race eager to murder children" could endanger Israeli and Jewish tourists who visit Turkey.

Turkish officials in Ankara and Tel Aviv were not immediately available for comment, Reuters said.

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 Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip earlier this year.

The drill was postponed indefinitely after other nations, including the United States and Italy, refused to take part without Israel's air force.

In January Erdogan, who heads the ruling AK Party, stormed out on Israeli President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland in protest over the offensive.
In the fragman of the series, Israeli soldiers shot Palestinians children and then, a stamp entitled "One Minute" was showed.

Turkey TV series further strains Israel relations

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/10/16/worldupdates/2009-10-16T001634Z_01_NOOTR_RTRMDNC_0_-431953-1&sec=Worldupdates

I can see that antisemitism is on the rise in Turkey.... The Defense (IDF) forces did everything they could to limit civilian casualties. It is the Arabs who targeted civilians... sure they only killed 2-3 but you know what they say one life a chosen person is worth 700 dirty Arabs.

I remember how the global Jewish media, starting from The Jew York Times, supported the AKP when they became elected in 2002.

For the next 5 years, they kept portraying the AKP as a "reformist, EU-loving, pro-democracy, liberal party" while turning a blind eye on its repression of imprisoned secular Turks, with the sham named the "Ergenekon Operation" which is still an enigma (many people are in jail without knowing why they were arrested.)

Now that the AKP is showing its true colours, I have only one thing to say:

You reap what you sow.

Damn civilian always getting in the way of bullets....and people have the audacity of questioning the good intentions of a zionist nation. This is absolutly sickening...all the hoopla over phospherous bombs, pragnant women getting shot at on the way to hospitals, killing of 900+ unarmed civilians, starvation of hundreds of thousands for days, terrorizing the young and the elderly....so what?...if it is done by the good jewish boys and girls then it can't be bad....seriously people don't you have something better to do than watch these third rated movies? these can't be based on actual things that happend...afterall it was not made in Holly Wood and was not funded by a jewish philanthrapist. how can anyone believe this kind of rubbish?...not me!

"remember how the global Jewish media, starting from The Jew York Times, supported the AKP when they became elected in 2002."

New York Times is part of the New York Times Company which is on the stock market, so how does that make it "global Jewish media" when millions of non Jews, including Muslims own shares in the company? You could buy some shares tomorrow when the market opens.

No wonder Muslims are stuck in the dark ages, you believe every boogie man conspiracy theory out there.

Both the Neo-Cons and the global Jewish lobby supported the AKP back in 2002.

Now that the AKP is showing its true colours...

You reap what you sow.

It seems that the "Greater Middle East Project" to which they wanted to sink ex-Kemalist and European, nouveau-Islamist and Middle Eastern Turkey started to blow up in their hands.

There is no such thing as "Moderate Islamism", which is an oxymoron.

You helped screw Turkey, you deal with the consequences.

I fail to see how a silly propaganda show represents 'ownage'.

err ... no sorry, objectively you are really really wrong News (and TUAF is reaaly really right about the matter)

The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) is an American media company best known as the publisher of its namesake, The New York Times. Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. has served as Chairman of the Board since 1997.

While the company offers two kinds of shares of its stock, Class A and Class B, Class B shares are not publicly traded.

The Class B shares provide a mechanism by which the descendants of Adolph Ochs, who purchased the New York Times newspaper in 1896, maintain control of the company by holding nearly 90 percent of this "special class of stock."

Sulzbergers are descendants of old and noteworthy Sephardic families[1]. Her great-grandfather, Benjamin Seixas[2], brother of the famous rabbi and American revolutionary Gershom Mendes Seixas of Congregation Shearith Israel, was one of the founders of the New York Stock Exchange.

There's a cold war mentality going on between Turkey and Israel.

We are your masters from now on.. choose your moves wisely

Out of respect for your nation (which your opinion does not represent), I will refrain from answering that very wise comment.

Where do you see Turkey in the next 10-20 years Toad? I honestly can't see two states having a rosy relationship any longer especially when the Turkish population is increasingly becoming anti-Israeli, matter of fact Turkey has the highest anti-Israeli & anti-US sentiments in the world.

Turkey is restoring its previous Ottoman power status over its former territories

//"Where do you see Turkey in the next 10-20 years Toad?"//



*Ribbit*, sorry, honestly? A mid sized middle-eastern country. That's as far as its potential goes. Hopefully its citizens will one day rise to first world status, a thing Israel achieved 50 years ago.



//"I honestly can't see two states having a rosy relationship any longer especially when the Turkish population is increasingly becoming anti-Israeli, matter of fact Turkey has the highest anti-Israeli & anti-US sentiments in the world."//



In that case, it would be Turkey's choice.



//"Turkey is restoring its previous Ottoman power status over its former territories "//



What status? It's population growth is slowing dramatically, it cant really re-conquer any new territories. It's potential power is relatively limited. It's full potential is still leagues away from the 1914 ottoman empire (which at the time, was at an all time low).

" *Ribbit*, sorry, honestly? A mid sized middle-eastern country. That's as far as its potential goes. Hopefully its citizens will one day rise to first world status, a thing Israel achieved 50 years ago. "


Toad just admit the fact that you're already chitting bricks at the thought of Turkey's current rising power status with its influence further growing to new heights that could possibly exceed it's former Ottoman glory in the next 15-20 years.

Today's Turkey, a 75 million population that will further grow into 100 million in the next 15 years.

A trillion dollar economy with a high growing industrial output.

Prior to the GFC, it's growth was a consistent 7%

Turkey's GDP per capita is at $14k today that will grow further to $20k by mid 2010's

Produces 2 million cars, trucks, buses, tractors annually that will continue to grow with more auto producers investing

Is due to become the worlds energy transit hub with oil & gas pipelines running through from Caucasus, Middle East and Central Asia





In conclusion... we are the beez kneez while you're a sun burnt nigga

The Ottoman empire was a world power. Even if Turkey magically achieves a per capita GDP of GB, it wouldnt be more than a mid-sized power (and that would not happen in the next 60 years). Cut the delusions of granduer, they are a tad childish.

Yoadm , pls ignore him.

Toad

Denial is a defense mechanism hence the reason of your persistence to deny Turkey's every growing power status.

Israel will be a little bitch in Middle Eastern under Turkish sphere of influence starting from TODAY.


WE ARE YOUR PIMP DADDY!!!

I'm sure Yoadm understands the current anti-Israeli wave in Turkey is due to internal politics, the government trying to divert the public attention from the economic crisis which is killing Turkey to anti-semitism which is always popular, not for any other reason.

The regime used up anti-Arabness, anti-Greekness is so 90s and anti-Americaness is so 2003. Anti-Israel was our last hope.

Every sane Turk knows Jews can end us with one blockbuster hollywood so called Armenian Genocide movie.
