Arab Labor - Now Airing Saturdays at 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern


This fall, Link TV presents the U.S. broadcast premiere of the controversial hit Israeli comedy series Arab Labor (Avoda Aravit).



Created by Sayed Kashua, a 32-year-old Israeli-born Palestinian journalist, Arab Labor (translated from the Hebrew â??Avoda Aravitâ?? which colloquially implies â??shoddy or second-rate workâ??) focuses on Amjad, a Palestinian journalist and Israeli citizen in search of his identity as he seeks high status in the society into which he was born but where his car is searched everyday when he drives from his neighborhood to his job at a newspaper in Jerusalem.



Poking fun at the cultural divide, Kashua and his characters play on religious, cultural and political differences to daringly depict the mixed society that is Israel. ;; This show marked a milestone on Israeli television as the first program to present Palestinian characters speaking Arabic on primetime. Arab Labor has generated great controversy between Arab and Israeli media and Link TV is premiering the program to the U.S. television audience in order to offer a fresh perspective on Israeli-Palestinian cultural friction while presenting an unbelievably entertaining show that has made an international splash.



Arab Labor airs Saturdays at 7pm Pacific/10pm Eastern





"â?¦A groundbreaking TV show that finds humor in sharing a homeland."



The Chicago Tribune



"Kashua has managed to barge through cultural barriers and bring an Arab point of view into the mainstream of Israeli entertainment."

The New York Times
