This sounds like something from “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” which by the way was extremely funny. [Link]

i think they cant do anything in lebanon.. we all do the same thing … we make italian pizza ..american hamburger and we use the country name in restaurants menus etc
i think lebanese people really wrong they r making trouble to themselves in this coz humus not only a lebanese recipe , Israel always wins! they want to tease lebanese people by this and they did !! i saw a lebanese man on news and he was really mad about that! take it easy they helping them actually by making them famous around the world
looks very appetizing… :) *drooling*
stealing food recipe …. that is weird !
next will be kabab ,,, lebanese will sue iranian for stealing it !!
Well-said highsky.
Lets not forget that the Palestinians eat all that as well- Hummus became an Israeli stable thanks to the Palestinians who live there. Its foodie’s haven with the most delectably-diverse cuisine that comes from the many who’ve made Israel their home.
Lebanon is living on uneven ground with its people being the only resource it has (they’re leaving quickly too). It should keep that in mind and quit jeopardizing its situation. I just hope the Israelis laugh this one off vs bombing, Lebanon to oblivion.
Seriously.. like wtf?! The trouble-maker who said that needs to be hung and shot just in case. May Uncle Osama crash a million planes into his face.
seriously . ..when israel sells hummus and use Lebanon as an origin they show to the world how friendly and decent they are coz they didn’t ignore the assumed source of hummus in their own point of view even with their enemies!
on the other hand Lebanese ppl will sue them world wide!:).. they show to the world how aggressive they r .all the countries in the arab world sells taboula fatoosh hummos and maybe in europe and americas why its ok with lebanon! so israel proofs that people in lebanon hate them even when they do free marketing for lebanese special tasty hummus!
Hillarious, war of the Hummus, the next war will be fought with chickpeas and tahina, I bet we can beat israel on taste, presentation and variety, Hummus Beiruti, Hummus and Awarma, Hummus and Muhammara, Hummus Jabali, so whether we are not the creator of the recipee we are by far the innovators and when it comes to tasty hummus, no one can beat us.
Actually, the israelies can take a visit to Marks & Spencers UK and check what is the label of the Hommous “Greek Hommous” … the stuffed grape leaves and falafel are also not labeled israele…
I dont think they mean its a jewish reciepe… its just a claim its an israelie one. b3dain israelie israelie if it originated in israel o israel shouldnt exit then it means its a palestinian recipe … right? fa khalas
fe raqabeee hoon :)))
Reminds me of West Bank Story.
http://www.westbankstory.com/
“A musical comedy set in the fast-paced, fast-food world of competing falafel stands in the West Bank… David, an Israeli soldier, falls in love with the beautiful Palestinian cashier, Fatima, despite the animosity between their families’ dueling restaurants. Can the couple’s love withstand a 2000 year old conflict and their families’ desire to control the future of the chic pea in the Middle East? “
Homms is Syrain, the Lebanies made famouse when thu fled during the war and started the Lebanies Resturants around the world.
the Greeks says that stuffed pine leaves is Greek, can u argu with that.
Good God people you should lighten up,that goes for you Maya. No need for a socio political analysis.
I just noticed some people are getting politics involved with this topic also. Please DO NOT watch You Don’t Mess with the Zohan lol
Hummus is arabian! i guess?
oh and that zohan movie is perverted!
if hummus is jewish then i declare it haram. sorry everybody, just switch to tahina or baba ghanouj or some other halal sandnigger delicacy
I remember 2 years ago at Birmingham University they had some kind of festival called the Jewish Week or something like that (or was it Jewish Day?). Two of the main events during that festival were a camel with the Israeli flag on its back, and a tent which was selling Falafel!
Let’s face it, Israel has no real culture to brag about, and that’s why they are ‘stealing’ it from others. I’ve always thought the only way to defeat Israel is with cultural war not military war, but who is willing to listen?!
Please someone must register Machboos La7am before its too late !
Smell it, feel it now taste it…
zohan was the lamest movie of the year
If by lame you mean the most hilarious movie of the year then I agree ;)
Lebanese Should Now Steal Bagels and Lox From The Juden!! LMFAO!!
Gather your rocks, my brothers. We must fight the Jews for hommus.
Jewish food is the best. They also make killer bread and produce hot women.
This is stupid!! Who cares where hummus comes from. Just eat it, shit it, and do it all over again :-)
Zohan was shit…..was so disappointed.
First 40 mins was funny, the rest was just dire.
i saw the movie its funny but with cheap content.. so dreamy in my opinion
hehehe its full with hummus..
but to be honest if im hummus :) i will choose Lebanon since they own the land for ages and hummus created in this area while israel occupying others land and stealing their identity ..who can believe that people from poland and Russia who r living in Israel invented hummus!
we should start register food!!
Hummus is Turkish. All mashawi are Turkish. Lebanese and Syrian are all copied from the Turks for some reason:P i think they were turkish colonies or something! not sure;)
why can’t we say, Hummus is an ARABIC dish? How hard is it?
Dolma (Stuffed vine leaves) is Turkish
Feta is Greek
and Murder is Israeli, haha
