Apple has come under fire after its streaming service started advertising for a new Israeli thriller called ‘Unconditional’, with people accusing the tech giant of normalising Israel and its army amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza and wars in the Mena region.
Many also characterised the series as an attempt to use entertainment to sanitise the image of Israel during what the United Nations and top international legal and genocide experts have all concluded constitutes a genocide in Gaza. Over 72,000 people have been killed in the enclave since October 2023.
Palestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa also framed the series as part of a broader effort to shape the public’s views about Israel in the wake of global outcry against its violence.
Many expressed scepticism that Apple TV highlighted that Unconditional was created by the producers of Homeland, a Showtime drama based on an Israeli television series that aired for eight seasons from 2011 to 2020.
“Homeland once depicted Hamra Street in Beirut as some back alley shithole and funny enough they did the filming for that in Tel Aviv. Unsurprising that the writers are making Israeli slop now,” said one user.
In 2012, Lebanese Tourism Minister Faddy Abboud also threatened to sue the makers of Homeland over the depiction of Beirut in some episodes.

English Script:
They aim to charge their daughter with drug trafficking. They’re asking for the 18 years.
Really?
We’re back. The big story we’ve all heard about. It’s unthinkable. I need help.
Do you still work for the Shin Bet? Was there anyone else with her in India beside you?
Maybe. How do fake passports end up with Gali? What is she doing with people like that?
You don’t want to know.
Why are you so sure?
Because this is how people get their arms broken.
I want her back because she knows something critical to national security.
You were in the army together, no?
You can’t be here, it’s private property.
But I know you know her. And that she worked for you.
