Palestinian Soap Opera PostponedThe Palestine Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) has postponed the scheduled airing of a new TV series, "Matabb." Officials at PBC said that the German-funded series was postponed until certain scenes were changed.
PBC officials charged that certain scenes failed to show the Israeli occupation in a negative enough light.
The officials mentioned one scene in which a Palestinian gives a flower to Israeli soldiers at an army checkpoint in the West Bank. They insinuated the series was influenced by the fact that it was funded by Germany's Goethe Institute and the European Commission, which would not back programs that do not encourage coexistence between Israel and the Palestinians.

In the Palestine Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) version of the Teletubbies, there were originally 6 tubbies instead of 4. In their first episode they showed how Israeli snipers killed the other 2.
I could believe it...
