As reported in Electronic Intifada 16 December, Palestinians are calling on
the American news-media network NBC Universal, owners of NBC television, to
cancel the filming of a new drama series in eastern occupied Jerusalem
<http://electronicin
In a statement<http://electronicin
the Civic National Commission on Jerusalem – a coalition representing several Palestinian organizations – says that the production of the series scheduled to air in the autumn “will give legitimacy to Israel’s policies of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and colonization in occupied Palestinian Jerusalem. 'Dig', according to The New YorkTimes <http://www.nytimes.
will be “an action series set (and shot) in Jerusalem and based in the
world of archaeology” that will run on NBCUniversal’s relatively credible USA cable channel.
Jeff Wachtel, chief content officer for NBCUniversal, told the Times he
hoped it would be “the big, buzz-worthy project” that USA has been looking
for. The NBC series is to be filmed in Silwan <http://electronicin
a Palestinian area where Israeli occupation forces are
systematically demolishing homes and displacing families in order to build
Jewish-only 'settlements' and facilities, particularly the so-called “City of
David National Park" <http://electronicin
run by the extremist colonist organization
Elad <http://electronicin
Elad is directly involved in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from
Jerusalem.
