Turkey's public broadcaster TRT has removed scenes of Israeli violence against Palestinians from a television series that caused a diplomatic row with Israel, the producer was quoted as saying Thursday. A scene showing Israeli soldiers shooting a row of blindfolded Palestinians was cut from the second episode, broadcast on Tuesday, Selcuk Cobanoglu told the Milliyet daily. The series, "Separation: Palestine in Love and in War," went on air on October 13, infuriating Israel, which said the program incited "hatred against Israel" and was "not worthy of being broadcast."
