[DPA/Ha'aretz] The Palestine Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) has postponed the scheduled airing of a new TV series, "Matabb" (Arabic for "speed bump"). Officials at PBC said Friday that the German-funded series was postponed until certain scenes were changed. Yehya Barakat, the director of programs at PBC, said, "It is an attempt to make sure that no scenes offensive to any party will be aired on an official television station." Other 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. 2008-09-08 01:00:00Full Article
