(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - An anti-Israel Turkish television series that depicts IDF soldiers as cold-blooded murderers and rapists has also enraged many Palestinians. Palestinian women prisoners said in a statement: "We call on the producer of this Turkish drama to apologize to the Palestinian people for the scene which shows Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian female prisoner." They also condemned the scene where the family of the "rape victim" kills her upon her release from Israeli jail. "Those who think that a Palestinian female prisoner is raped when she's arrested are living in an illusion and are mistaken....There has never been such a case. Nor have we heard of a Palestinian family that killed their daughter after her release." The women called on the Saudi-owned MBC network to stop broadcasting the Turkish series immediately.
