I've grown to love that show.  It's true the Palestinians are depicted in
cartoon-bigot form, but so are the Jews.  The latter perhaps even more
buffoonish, since their protest is over the mere location of a restaurant.

It's hard to remember anybody in the show who isn't made to look petty,
dishonest, hypocritical, neurotic, selfish, obnoxious, or just nuts.

I liked Seinfeld too, though it's hard to look at it in the same way now,
after the "Kramer" affair (which is sent up very well in a 'Curb' episode).
