History YMMV / Hasamba3G

* AcceptableTargets: Crops up disturbingly often, veering close to CrossingTheLineTwice. Most of the good guys are White, Ashkenazi, upstanding folk from circa-Tel-Aviv, and the degree of villainy seems proportionate to the distance from that point of the racial/ideological spectrum:
** Hufni, Menashe the Yemenite's grandson, is a borderline TokenEvilTeammate.
** Taleb Zangouri, the bedouin, is a creepy and cowardly criminal with no qualms about threatening teenagers at gunpoint and kidnapping the elderly.
** Bonnie, the Judea/Samaria/West Bank/Watchamacallit settler, is an even creepier pedophile who cooperates with Zangouri.
** CorruptCorporateExecutive Sunny has nouveau riche overtones, as opposed to the old-school socialist-Ashkenazi types of old Hasamba, and her father is played as a painfully straight Mizrahi stereotype.
** A minor yet poignant example: there's a poster of former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu hanging in one of the Bad Guys' lairs. AsYouKnow, Netanyahu is a right-wing politician who is often regarded as a relentless populist by a significant portion of same White, Ashkenazi folk from circa Tel-Aviv and other areas in Israel.
** There have been several notable exceptions to the above early in the show - Menashe the Yemenite himself is portrayed as completely sympathetic; Iggy is probably not Ashkenazi judging by his last name (Musafi), but is one of the main protagonists; Luda is Russian (which kind-of-sort-of makes her a minority; it's complicated) and is an asset to the fledgling Hasamba; and the model boy scout Moran is a definite villain. But easily the most glaring move away from this mentality has been the introduction of [[spoiler: Rachel - white Ashkenazi left-wing liberal, flesh of Hasamba's flesh - who eventually became a radical eco-terrorist anarchist nut and is a major season 2 villain]].

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Straight guys end up with hot girls. Gay guys try to hit on other guys and have the crap beaten out of them, because nobody likes gay guys.
* FauxActionGirl: Renan starts to seem like one in the second season, when her favorite pastime appears to be getting kidnapped.
* IKnewIt: [[spoiler:Alpha is a brainwashed Uri]].
* MagicFranchiseWord: Larnyx Uppercut ("Snokeret Lagrogeret").

* RunningTheAsylum: Technically, but since this is the first major adaptation that ventures away from canon all the signature elements (NeverLiveItDown, DarkerAndEdgier...) are still fresh. The mass of original characters who never appeared in the original at all also helps.

** Bonnie, the Judea/Samaria/West Bank/Watchamacallit settler, is an even creepier pedophile who cooperates with Zangouri. This is doubly disconcerting because the whole settlements thing is a [[RippedFromTheHeadlines very hot issue in Israel]] these days and the media has a long-standing reputation for left-wing sympathies. It's hard to tell whether the series creator opting to portray this guy makes it better or worse.

Luda the Russian computer whiz who's an asset to the fledgling 3G Hasamba would qualify as well, but Russians have successfully integrated into the upper crust of Israeli society so much that basically no one perceives them as a disadvantaged ethnical minority anymore.

** Notable exceptions to the above: Menashe the Yemenite himself is portrayed as completely sympathetic; Sunny is a model successful upper-class Tel-avivi but corrupt to the core.

*** Sunny is not really an exception – she's a nouveau riche (as opposed to the old-school socialist-Ashkenazi types of old Hasamba) and her father is played as a painfully straight Mizrahi stereotype. other aversions, though, include Iggy, a protagonist who is probably not Ashkenazi judging by his last name (Musafi), and the model boy scout Moran who is a definite villain.
