 Jerusalem Post : Sticking to the facts @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The two main criticisms of the series are that it is politically tilted to the Left and the Arab point of view of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and that it seeks to be provocative, rather than try to present as objective as possible an account of controversial issues and events surrounding Israel's 50-year history.
Less known to the public is the fact that there is also an eight-episode Tkuma series, in English, produced for screening on foreign television networks.
This series includes two chapters telling the story of Israel chronologically, and another six dealing with specific issues, such as the waves of immigration, the question of religion and state, the political conflict within Israel, and economics.

 Special Report
A documentary on Israel’s first 50 years shown on Israel Television this spring was condemned by members of the government and others for including eyewitness accounts of the destruction of Arab villages and the indiscriminate killing of Arab civilians by Israeli forces.
At least two cabinet ministers demanded that the series, titled “Tkuma,” or “Rebirth,” be taken off the air, and the director, Ronit Weiss-Berkowitz, received several death threats.
The deliberate erasing from official memory of the calamity that befell the Palestinians after Israel’s birth gives the anniversary celebrations the morbid aspect of a bandage placed over a suppurating wound.

Called Tkuma, or rebirth, the television production is the centerpiece of Israel's 50th anniversary celebrations.
Tkuma, however, went beyond that by interviewing Arabs who had been uprooted, thus putting a human face on the Arab plight.
Communications Minister Limor Livnat was incensed by the episode and by other parts of the series shown by Israel Television which offer a sympathetic understanding of the Arab point of view alongside that of the Israeli point of view.

I began viewing the documentary "Tkuma: Israel - The First 50 Years" with a healthy dose of skepticism because I knew that another effort at making a documentary on this subject had been permanently sidelined.
The reason for the latter's demise, said co-reason for the latter's demise, said co-writers Mark Harris, creator of the award-winning "The Long Way Home," and Staurt Schoffman of the Jerusalem Report, was that it was too realistic.

 Middle East Report 207: From Schmaltz to Sacrilege: Commemorating Israel after Rabin , by Rebecca Stein
Tkuma (Rebirth), Israeli commentators agree, tells a "post-Zionist" story of the state, "challenging the founding myths and raising long-repressed questions about the nation's birth and conflict with the Arabs."
Even after the 1993 Oslo Accords and concomitant shifts in Israeli state discourses, there has been little space in North American public cultures for anything but the most patriotic histories of Israeli state-building.
Perhaps most telling is Tkuma's "newness": "For the first time in its history," wrote dovish Israeli political analyst Gideon Levy, "Israeli television presented the story of the country's occupation from the standpoint of its victims."

 MIFTAH--Transfer is serious threat to Palestinian population
Unfortunately, Israeli calls for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, euphemistically termed "transfer," are becoming more acceptable in the mainstream, going beyond Rabbi Kahane's Kach party or Ze'evi's Molodet.
Currently, there are three parties that explicitly call for the "transfer" of the Palestinian population: Israel Beitenu, Tkuma and Molodet.
Israeli revisionist historian Ilan Pappe says "the discourse of transfer and expulsion which had been employed by the extreme right, is now the bon ton of the center." Around 100 Israeli academics recently wrote a letter warning that talk of "transfer" is increasing within Israel's mainstream political discourse.
