Arab Labor is the name of a show on Israeli TV that shows the life of an upper middle class arab israeli family and how they live day to day in Israel. The show demonstrates the petty discrimination, smarmy hypocrisy and day to day difficulties of being a minority in a socialist state.
the term Arab Labor is an insult in Hebrew. It means sloppy and badly done work.
The show has got a lot of positive response in Israel and around the world, despite the pot shots at the status quo. It is hated in Palestinian areas as it is seen as a cop out and a sell out, mostly from folks who don't watch.
The actors themselves say that much of the script comes from daily life for them.
Clips are available on You tube.
