'Palestinians' angered over anti-Israel Turkish television series
“This film defames the female prisoners and their struggles in occupation prisons,” the 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 called Miriam.”
The statement said that the scene has nothing to do with reality. They also condemned the scene where the family of the “rape victim” kills her upon her release from Israeli jail.
“Palestinian families have always embraced their daughters when they are released from prison,” the women said. “We see this [drama] as an attempt to defame the image of Palestinian female prisoners and as a public insult to the Palestinian people. This film serves only the occupation.”
The statement strongly denied the accusation made in the Turkish series according to which Palestinian women are raped in Israeli prisons.
“Those who think that a Palestinian female prisoner is raped when she’s arrested are living in an illusion and are mistaken,” the female prisoners said. “There has never been such a case. Nor have we heard of a Palestinian family that killed their daughter after her release.”
The women also called on the Saudi-owned MBC network to stop broadcasting the Turkish series immediately.
Palestinian Authority officials have also expressed outrage over the drama, dubbing it “offensive” and “detached from reality.”
But the 'Palestinians' could never take their women back if they were raped in prison. And they certainly could never admit that they would kill them as a result to preserve the 'family honor.' Hence they are upset over the television series.
