Turkish anti-Israel mini-series aired

[Yoink 7]

A new Turkish television miniseries being broadcast throughout the Arab world depicts Israel supporting the Turkish mafia to spread prostitution and drugs throughout the country.

The new Turkish anti-Israel...

The series comes a month after relations between Israel and Turkey hit a nadir after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been a leading and vitriolic critic of Israel's recent military offensive against Hamas in Gaza, stormed out of a panel discussion with President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

A clip of the miniseries was aired on Israel's Channel 2 TV news on Tuesday night.

The Turkish Jewish community recently said there were several Turkish TV programs that contained "harshly anti-Semitic rhetoric."

The series comes just one month after relations between Israel and Turkey hit a nadir after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been a leading and vitriolic critic of Israel's recent military operation against Hamas in Gaza, stormed out of a panel discussion with President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

It also comes a little over a week after the Turkish Foreign Ministry called in Israeli envoy Gabi Levy to protest reports that IDF OC Ground Forces Command Maj.-Gen. Avi Mizrahi sharply criticized Erdogan in a newspaper interview for his harsh condemnation of Israel during the Gaza operation.

IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi has since apologized to his Turkish counterpart for Mizrahi's criticism.

Well, I've met plenty of Kurdish and Armenian people that think someone should stand up to Turkey. Just remember, whenever you point an accusatory finger at someone else there are 4 pointing right back at you. I really don't see why people that marry someone from MENA are expected to automatically jump on the I hate Israel bandwagon. Why should I care what Israel does when I don't much pay attention to what's going on in Sudan which is far worse off. Quite frankly, I have enough stress and things to worry about in my own life without getting all worked up over what's going on in countries I've never been to. The Israelis aren't doing anything to Palestinians that Turks, Iranians and Arabs aren't guilty of doing to Kurds or other minorities in their countries. To be honest, after living in the ME since 2007 I think I would much rather live next door to Jews than Muslims any day. But more than anything I'd rather live next door to people that aren't brainwashed by religious dogma.
