Abstract Twenty per cent of Israel’s population are Palestinians who despite being the indigenous people of the land are its second-class citizens. Sayed Kashua, an Israeli-Palestinian writer and journalist stages in his long running comedy drama on Israeli television with humour, irony and sarcasm life’s realities for Palestinian citizens of Israel among the Jews. It is argued that their relationship is that of the colonised among the coloniser as characterised by postcolonial writers such as Bhabha, Fanon and Memi. The series, while focusing on the fragile identity of its Palestinian anti-hero, also shows that the colonising state of affairs affects not only the Palestinians but the Jews too. The article, in addition to providing the political context to Kashua’s text, analyses those episodes in the series in which Palestinians and Jews ‘pass as… the other’. It is argued that ‘passing as’ is an extreme response to living in anomalous circumstances and is motivated not only by a wish to improve one’s everyday life, but, in addition, by deeper, often, unconscious desires.

在以色列电视上由赛义德·卡舒亚 (Sayed Kashua) 在阿拉伯劳工中担任……

摘要 以色列人口的 20% 是巴勒斯坦人，尽管他们是这片土地的土著人，但他们却是二等公民。Sayed Kashua 是一位以色列-巴勒斯坦作家和记者，他在以色列电视上的长期喜剧剧中以幽默、讽刺和讽刺的方式讲述了以色列巴勒斯坦公民在犹太人中的生活现实。有人认为，他们的关系是殖民者中被殖民者的关系，以巴巴、法农和梅米等后殖民作家为特征。该系列虽然关注其巴勒斯坦反英雄的脆弱身份，但也表明殖民状况不仅影响巴勒斯坦人，也影响犹太人。这篇文章除了为卡舒亚的文字提供政治背景外，分析了巴勒斯坦人和犹太人“作为……另一个人”的系列剧集。有人认为，“自以为是”是对生活在异常环境中的一种极端反应，其动机不仅是希望改善自己的日常生活，而且还受到更深的、通常是无意识的欲望的驱使。
