The truth hurts
Those poor thin-skinned Israelis:
An Israeli Foreign Ministry official rebuked Turkey's acting ambassador Thursday over a TV series Israel says depicts Israeli soldiers murdering children.Well, now we know why Israel did its best to prevent any reporters from getting into Gaza while Israel was attacking it. Because footage of actual Israeli soldiers murdering actual Palestinian children might have been "incitement." Not to mention documentation of war crimes. Which is, of course, precisely what Israel wants us to do. Not to mention it, that is.
Naor Gilon, deputy director for the Western Europe desk, said he told Turkish envoy Ceylan Ozen the series was "incitement" and could spark attacks against Jews visiting Turkey.
