We built a veritable wasteland. We were thrown out - without compensation or possessions - from Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, etc. Jews who escaped the ovens of Europe are less than half of Israel's Jewish populaton, Hussein. Furthermore, there are many of us who lived in the land continuously. You are so predictabile and boring.

What a moron. Sabra is a cactus fruit and refers to native Israelis. Propaganda mama. We are not, by the way, Maronite Christians if you insist on your allusion.

Way to go, Farid! At least someone speaks the truth about that tragedy.
67. @Mark
Well ,   Princeton, NJ   (11.28.10)
No, that's false, Israel doesn't let most of Palestinians' products into the USA for "security reasons." I don't support the boycott (all it will do is make Israelis more hostile to the rest of the world...), but your facts are incorrect.
68. "Ironically, humous is an Arab product"
William ,   Israel   (11.28.10)
and of course, one of the facts that Arabs want to distort is that Jews have lived in the Middle East for centuries, including Arab lands, until they were ethnically cleansed. So these dear souls brought hummous with them and in Israel, made it a treat that the global community enjoys. Arabs, conversely, gave us oil, which has artificially inflated despotic regimes, poisoned the environment, and killed more people than the Black Plague. Perhaps these students need a lesson in basic market research: their own countrymen have stated in polls that the intifada, targeting civilians, caused them the most pain and was an abject failure...not Israeli soldiers.
69. #11 - why? Our homeland is Israel. Your Koran says so
William ,   Israel   (11.28.10)
and so does my family's birth certificates and land deeds in Jerusalem and Hebron, where we were ethnically cleansed in 1929 and again 1948. And speaking of land deeds, we owned our land, not like the majority of illegal economic Arab migrants who squatted on open land in the 1930s, and again under Jordan's rule 1948-1967. Now that we are sovereign (and you still appear to be just a figment of your own imagination), we'll allow whomever we wish to immigrate to Israel and eat Israeli hummous. While we do that, please reflect on the 90 years of your mistakes, racist actions, war crimes, and basic short-comings that make you what you are today.
70. #13 - a perfect example of the communication divide
William ,   Israel   (11.28.10)
don't let facts get in the way, Salma. Please, go on being the racist with you are. "Sabra" is Hebrew for "native Israeli"....meaning "authentic". hence, "authentic hummous (from Israel)". As for the refugee camps you refer to, save your venom for the Christian Philangists in Lebanon who actually planned and implemented the massacres, not Israel who wasn't involved in it. Sad that your hate for Israel is so great that you allowed the Philangist leader to be free and wealthy in Lebanon with so much blood on his hands...but it never was about justice for Arabs, was it, just hatred for Jews.
71. #31 - but Sharon didn't order the massacre
William ,   Israel   (11.28.10)
while the troops might be under the command of Israel, Ariel Sharon did not give any order for a massacre that occurred. Go read the report and you'll see that. He was faulted for basically not keeping in mind that "Arabs will be Arabs" and they can commit war crimes at the drop of a hat. The Philangists were allowed to go in to target the "Palestinian" terrorists (of course) that launched attacks on the Christians' men. It seems you choose to selectively remember history as it fits your agenda, right Salma? Again - sad that the Christian leaders roam free and wealthy in Lebanon, with so much blood on their hands, while your agenda tries to blame Jews for their crimes.
72. one third of the Quran
not surprised ,   Montreal   (11.28.10)
is about warning the humanity about the jewish characters . one third of the holy book is telling the humanity ...do not be like this group of human ,, you want to call the creator an anti semite ..sorry ..he is definitely is one . how low you can go . the sad and the miraculous part is even the Quran talks about minute exception to the rule ..but in general .. they have hearts ...harder than stones . how elequint and precise .

thanks for taking care :) I am experienced enough to avoid the wrong turn, and if I really go to taste Salma's mother hummus, I am automatically under her protection. I believe in arab sense of honor. I hope I will be not disappointed :)
74. #71 William ,
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.28.10)
Who trained, armed,& gave shelter to the so called "The Philangists " ?!! No, William, there is a big difference between the mercenaries and the owners of clear agendas. Saad Haddad and his gangs for us, are "Israel's" stray dogs. Incidentally we don't blame the Jews, but "Israel" and those who stand behind it.
75. #74 Salma
Yossef ,   Toronto/Rehovot   (11.28.10)
I am sorry but Jews are bni Yehuda, and Yehuda is bn Jaakov, that is bn Israel. We Jews are Israel. Th blood of our victims is on our head, as the blood of your victims is on your head. It is sad Salma, but you are not better than us. It doesn't mean that we cannot be friends, we are just to be smart. It is like in a marriage, the two partners have to be wise if they want their marriage to have a future. You must grow up a little bit more my dear Salma, but stay smart, nothing is as it appears at the first glance. Everything is more complicated. The wise is the one who is able to find the truth behind the appearance.
76. Yossef ,
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.28.10)
The forced marriage between "Israel" & Palestine will fail one day, However, our friendship will last forever : ) For what I said that we don't blame the Jews, but "Israel" , I meant I know that there are Jews in this world who stand firmly against "Israel" as "Israel", I can't put all Jews in a same corner.
77. #73 Be safe
Texan   (11.28.10)
Me to Yossef i hope you not be disappointed ,but i hope that you watch you back and come back safe to Canada or Rehovot ... Shalom
78. Where to find Sabra humus in Australi
Adi Mogilevsky ,   Sydney   (01.13.11)
Hi all Where could we find Sabra hummus in Australia? Desperatly missing the hummus, found Ahla one, but the taste is not the same. Also a lot of Brisbane people in floods will be happy to receive some ummus - could you make one container donation to them - they will never forget. Cheers, Adi
