A British mini-series that slams the IDF and the State of Israel has been slammed by the Jewish state's embassy spokesman, Amir Ofek, as "a new category of hostility towards Israel."

 
The mini-series, which provoked accusations of demonization and hate-mongering, has been hailed by British TV critics as the year's best drama.

The show, which was mostly filmed in Israel, provoked fury among many British Jewish. Ofek told the Jewish Chronicle that "In my 15-year career I have never seen anything like it in the Western media. I'm aware of artistic freedom, but nevertheless I feel this is worse than anything I've seen."

 
"It's obvious there was a special attempt to demonize Israelis," he said. They used every tool available - visuals especially - to undermine the Israeli perspective."

 
The show's heroine is a young British woman who travels to Israel ahead of her Israeli friend's enlistment with the IDF. Before the trip, she comes across a diary written by her dying grandfather, who during the 1940s helped save Jews from death camp and was later sent to the Land of Israel at the service of Her Majesty.

 
In Israel, the young Londoner searches for Muhammad, a friend of her grandfather. While at it, she helps the Palestinians smuggles arms to Gaza, just like her grandpa helped the Arabs earlier.

 
Director inspired by leftist group  
Throughout the mini-series, the audience is treated to parallels pertaining to IDF operations in Judea and Samaria, the acts of underground groups against the Brits, and the grandfather's memories from the death camp.

 
Close to two million people watched the first episode of the show, which was directed by Peter Kosminsky, whose grandfather is Jewish. One of the stars of the mini-series is Israeli actor Itay Tiran, in the role of an IDF soldier who served in Hebron and "sobered up." Kosminsky said he was inspired after reading testimonials of Israeli soldiers involved with the Breaking the Silence organization.

Embassy Spokesman Ofek said IDF troops were portrayed as blood-thirsty, while the Palestinians were mostly in the role of helpless victims. The diplomat also slammed the portrayal of wealthy Israeli families spending their time in the swimming pool as unrepresentative of Israeli society.

 
"In my time here, we have never had as many complaints from people as we have had for this program. When I asked people if they had watched all the episodes they said they had given up because it was so upsetting," he said.

 A little about this 'Israeli' actor i see nothing about him serving in the IDF and his wedding was really a joke                http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itay_Tiran  

Tiran met singer/actress Melanie Peres in 2007. They were married by Udi Aloni, in ex-Minister of Culture and Education Shulamit Aloni's garden on October 31, 2008. They live in Tel Aviv.

   






 This is also interesting he was in the movie Beaufort people complained that most of the actors never even served in the IDF although Israelis

The casting has raised serious public criticism in Israel, especially from families of slain soldiers and war veterans, given the fact that some of the actors did not serve in the Israeli army (Army service is compulsory in Israel, although some people are exempt). Cedar commented that the actors had to spend a month at an actual outpost preparing for their roles, and that "Israel may be the only place where actors are expected to have actual combat experience when playing soldiers in a movie".[1]

I wonder if the ending will show those weapons being used to blow up Israeli children or will that part be conveniently left out?

I am sure the British will love this show, most of them are so hateful of Israel and so fond of Arab dicks.
