Pro-Palestinian group criticizes TV series over Jerusalem scenes

posted on: Mar 9, 2015

The U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, a group that objects to American support for Israel, is criticizing USA Network over its new event series “Dig,” which premiered Thursday. 

ABC’s ‘American Crime,’ USA’s ‘Dig’ up the ante on Thursdays
Because “Dig” was produced with the assistance of a grant from the Israeli government and the pilot includes scenes filmed in East Jerusalem, the group claims that USA is complicit “in whitewashing Israel’s military occupation and illegal colonization of East Jerusalem.”

USA declined to comment.
