The video above is the shortest I could find of this anti-Israel propaganda brought to you by a country that has formally been seen as Israel's ally.
Turkish TV Portrays IDF Soldiers as Murderers -Barak Ravid
[Israel's] Foreign Minister instructed the Foreign Ministry to protest to Turkey a new television drama airing on [a Turkish] state-sponsored television channel that depicts Israel Defense Forces soldiers as brutal murderers.
The show depicts multiple images of the IDF brutalizing the Palestinian population in Gaza by shooting children, kicking elderly people on the ground, and lining up Palestinians to be shot by a firing squad.
Israeli soldiers can be seen shooting a smiling young girl in the chest [and] steamrolling a tank through a crowded street.

Troubling. Turkey seems to be pandering to certain groups, and it is sad they would choose this particular way to do it.
There is concern that Turkey has realligned itself, turned towards the Syria-Iran axis. This appears as a symptom of that [even more problematic] concern.
Turkey's recent cancelation of military exercises with the US & Israel [which i have not blogged on yet] is the most recent example of this reallignment. But there were signals of this during the Bush administration, when Turks declined to assist with Afghanistan.
