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:

Paul RETI replied to the discussion 'President Obama, Rabin's Legacy and the words we use -- By Maurice OSTROFF (15 November 2009)'

I agree Oliver. It is interesting that honest attempts at communication are often greeted in places like this with jeers and patronising and derogatory presumptions about the perceived other's "real" intentions.

Oliver Haack replied to the discussion 'President Obama, Rabin's Legacy and the words we use -- By Maurice OSTROFF (15 November 2009)'

Yes, Paul, communication is crucial indeed. "Simplistic slogans" won't help in the long term, that's clear. But honest and clear communication requires courageousness on all sides. Slogans are, in my view, often (as you also imply above) an 'indiv...

Oliver Haack commented on the blog post 'Terror Has no religion ,home ,race ,color'

Neri is right in pointing to the "root causes of the action". What is defined as 'terror' has diverse such root causes - religion/religious fundamentalism being one of them. And yes, Ahmed, fundamentalisms exist in a plethora of religions - Christ...

"we are the equivalent of black people of the 1950s in the US South" No, you're not. Please don't make such a link, it's highly inaccurate. a.) Arabs living in Israel have equal rights. Regardless of what you might think, this isn't apartheid. W...

It's actually a reflection of the Israeli religious ministry which serves to uphold the dominance of Judaism in Israel. In that respect it's not much different than most middle eastern countries.

So what is the differense between the hate you present and the hate we see in the video? Do you think that only Israelis express hate? Do you think that the peace we wish to create will not include these people and the Palestinian people who hate...
