\nApple has come under fire after its streaming service started advertising for a new Israeli thriller called \u2018Unconditional\u2019, with people accusing the tech giant of normalising Israel and its army amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza and wars in the Mena region.\u2060
\n\u2060
\nMany 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.\u2060
\n\u2060
\nPalestinian-American author Susan Abulhawa also framed the series as part of a broader effort to shape the public\u2019s views about Israel in the wake of global outcry against its violence.\u2060
\n\u2060
\nMany 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.\u2060
\n\u2060
\n\u201cHomeland 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,\u201d said one user.\u2060
\n\u2060
\nIn 2012, Lebanese Tourism Minister Faddy Abboud also threatened to sue the makers of Homeland over the depiction of Beirut in some episodes.\u2060

\nThey aim to charge their daughter with drug trafficking. They’re asking for the 18 years.<\/p>\n

Really?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re back. The big story we\u2019ve all heard about. It\u2019s unthinkable. I need help. <\/p>\n

Do you still work for the Shin Bet? Was there anyone else with her in India beside you? <\/p>\n

Maybe. How do fake passports end up with Gali? What is she doing with people like that?<\/p>\n

You don’t want to know. <\/p>\n

Why are you so sure? <\/p>\n

Because this is how people get their arms broken. <\/p>\n

I want her back because she knows something critical to national security. <\/p>\n

You were in the army together, no?<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t be here, it\u2019s private property. <\/p>\n

But I know you know her. And that she worked for you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
