Tucked into the box set or foreign section of your local video store you may find this wry 10-episode sitcom straight from Israel, about Amjad, an Arab journalist and his high-strung family. A familiarity with Israel based only on heated headlines will have no bearing on Arab Labor, whose characters seem only indirectly effected by politics and war, though not immune to ignorance and mistrust, which is always the source of the humour. The show actually resembles Curb Your Enthusiasm in its intricate scripting and a main character that is a magnet for socially explosive situations. Wildly funny Arab Labor, however, is exclusive to Israel, happy to barrel through taboos.
