Al-Jazira (in English) on Sayed Kashua's comedy "Arab work"
"His latest work, a prime-time situation comedy on Israel’s commercial Channel 2 television, deals with Israeli society’s prejudices and peccadilloes through the eyes of a Muslim Arab family that bears an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Kashua’s own. The series is popular with its mostly Jewish audience, which finds it irreverent and funny. But many among the 1.4 million Palestinian citizens of Israel — 20 percent of the population — say it borders on insulting."
From the New York Times article on the program, which can be found here:
