[Hurriyet-Turkey] Mehmet Ali Birand - In the TRT TV series "Ayrilik" (Separation), many scenes present the Israelis, including children, as cold-blooded murderers, barbarians and terrible people. After watching the bloody scenes, you might hate the Israelis and seek revenge. Everything aired on TRT concerns the state and government. As a result, it is not that much off the mark that Israel believes this series is directed toward defamation and hostility toward Israel, done with the approval of the AKP and maybe the "encouragement of the government." How would we react if Israeli TV broadcast a similar story about Turkish soldiers and villagers in southeast Turkey. We would devastate Israel. We would arrange a movement and place a wreath on synagogues. Let's tell the truth, wouldn't we do that? Don't you dare say no.
