Food origins can get very nebulous and difficult to determine and I think there can be a lot of debate about the origins of foods like falafel and labneh. That said, calling them the foods of a nation that hasn’t existed for 100 years is buck wild.
My Mizrahi grandfather is from Yemen. Does that make zhug and ras el hanout Israeli? Is fatut Israeli now? I think the guy who gets the food for them in the video brings up a great point with saying that these “Israeli” restaurants also often serve Ashkenazi and Sephardic dishes, which erases the complicated and fascinating history and culture of those dishes. I know people in Israel make sufganiyot, but is it Israeli and not Ashkenazi? Look at Polish pączki and tell me.
I don’t bring up Jewish cuisines to minimize the vile and flagrant appropriation of Palestinian cuisine, but to poke at the absurdity of Zionism, which apparently cannot honor even the rich cultural history of the Jewish diaspora, but must crush it and form it into a nationalist project.
Good post, great video. It’s interesting to call attention to something that may feel innocuous (serving food) but can actually be used as a propaganda tool by horrendous causes.
