Haha that's brilliant!
I've never tried Lebanese hummus, best ones I've had so far were in Amman and J'lem. But the one from Sainsbury's for £1.25 is not that bad either. Just a bit disgusting and doesn't taste like hummus, basically.

Abu Shaker in downtown Haifa is brilliant. Best known in Jerusalem are Abu Shukri and Linna, and a couple of places known as Abu Shukri serve excellent hummus in the nearby village of Abu Gosh.
Saintsbury's...

Was a big fan of Al-Wadi al akhdar tahina when we were in the US. Was the best around by far.
Get yourself to Green Valley on Edgware rd, they sell the good stuff...might have to go myself, all this food talk has made me miss it.
Wad al Akthar
By far the most authentic take on Lebanese food in London instead of the 30 or so mediocre Maroushes within a 5 mile radius. Might just go after work tomorrow

Marrouch is on point though. I went there and had a nice shawarma. It's no Barbar but it did the job.
See you there Kaos
I set on Edgware Rd for the first time in years two weeks ago.. I thought I was in Dubai.. Couldn't believe it
I'll tell you, when I was in Manchester a few months ago I tasted the local hummus sold in a place in the city centre, mostly a juice bar. It was horrible, but it was very familiar - it was just like a brand of canned hummus that was sold in Israel years ago and I think was discontinued. It doesn't have a bad taste, but it's not really hummus either. Maybe it's the same as Sainbury's.
I think that this thread has proved that food is the solution to all the middle east's problems
Anyone said Falafel?
Waiting to hear whether it's Falafellaini in Ashrafiyeh.
I guess once you've had fresh hummus there's just nothing else to compare it to. There's one place in Jerusalem, Ben Sirah, they cook it in those gigantic pots and serve it with pita bread and some pickled stuff, it's simple but perfect. The Sainsbury's and Morissons doesn't taste bad but, as you say, it' just not hummus. Same goes for falafel.
I'll have to check our that place in London once.
Well, obviously I've had the real, fresh thing but we also have popular versions sold in Supermarkets - which are somewhat different as they add certain ingredients, otherwise it wouldn't last for more than a few days - which are quite good. That thing in Manchester... that was the canned thing. You'd get that in Israel as emergency portions in the army.

Haha sounds great, emergency portions! How can any of that stuff last longer than a week?!
Have you tried the ones from ASDA? They taste pretty good. Greek style chickpea and sesame seed paste dip with lemon juice and garlic, topped with whole chickpeas and spicy harissa chilli sauce. For £1 only

Nope, never tried it. Maybe next time I'm in England, just for the stories. As for the emergency portions, I guess that has very little hummus in it and tons of highly unhealthy stuff.
I never buy the crap supermarket paste. It is 50% hummus, 50% preservatives which explains why it lasts for a month.
I make our own Abu Tom fresh hummus at home every now and then...the kids love it.

I know it's pretty easy work, but I never make the time for it.
I can't believe you forgot me!
@Slevs too, OK he's an ethnic Armenian but Lebanese aren't even a race anyway, they're just fledgling Syrians.............I'm joking
How do you still remember this?!
Lebanese aren't a race? Shut yo mouth
Al Wadi Al Akhdar...yummmmmmmmmmmm.
I can't believe you forgot me!

Oops, my bad habibi
It's okay 3ayne.
Here is why Israel is the cancer of the middle east (and probably the world).

Netanyahu explains how he stood up to the U.S., kept building settlements
‘Peace talks? What peace talks,’ the Israeli prime minister jokes with supporters from his party.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted of his settlement building achievements in a recent meeting with young Likud supporters. Responding to a question from the audience, Netanyahu said: “I was threatened in Washington: ‘not one brick’ [of settlement construction] … after five years, we built a little more than one brick…”
Asked “about peace talks with the Palestinians,” Netanyahu reportedly replied, “about the – what?” to which the audience responded by breaking out into laughter.
Last year was a record year in settlement construction in the West Bank. According to figures released by the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), there were construction starts on 2,534 housing units last year, not including East Jerusalem – an increase of 123 percent from 2012, and more than any other year since the CBS began compiling data.
Netanyahu’s quotes were posted online by Akiva Lamm, a Likud member from Kiryat Arba, a settlement near Hebron. Lamm himself posed a question to Netanyahu on the lack of new construction in his home settlement, and on Israel’s prisoner releases during the American-led negotiations with the Palestinians. This was Netanyahu’s reply (my translation):
When I entered the Prime Minister’s Office for my second term, I was summoned to Washington. “Not one brick,” they told me (referring to settlement construction in Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem). I was threatened specifically: “Not one brick.” The pressure from the international community and the Americans was enormous. I don’t think anyone in Israel was under such pressure. And still, after five years on the job, we built a little more than “one brick.” But the important thing is to do it in a smart way, in a quiet way, without inflammatory statements.
Do you think it’s a problem for me to say, “I am a hero, I am strong, I don’t care about anything, what do I care what the world says?’” I don’t have any problem saying that, but it would be a lie. Whoever tells you that doesn’t deserve to be prime minister; he is a populist. This is not a feature leader. A leader knows to stand up to international pressure by maneuvering.
Imagine yourself standing on a hill overlooking the whole valley. You get to see all the obstacles below from above – some from the right and some from the left – and then when you walk down, you know exactly where to go in order to avoid the obstacles. What matters is that we continue to head straight toward our goal, even if one time we walk right and another time walk left.
Netanyahu then went on to speak about how important U.S. support is, and how well his speeches were received by the U.S. congress. This reminded Akiva of similar remarks Netanyahu made 10 years ago, when he explained how he was able to manipulate the Clinton administration and debunk the Oslo accords. Those comments received some attention when a video from that meeting was aired by Israel’s Channel 10; you can watch them here.

This is boring because the guy represents around 0.001 of arabs/muslims at that time. Arabs that fought Hitlerism (Morocco, Algeria to name a few).
In other news :
Naftali Bennett : "I killed a lot of arabs in my life. And there's no problem with that."
Huffington Post.
I bet you love your minister of economy ****land-red.

I thought it was far from boring. It's a documentary about the Palestinian leadership, and its plans for Jews. I bet you share my relief that their plot failed.
Is there a reason why you don't provide a credible link to Bennett's alleged comments? Incidently, with him being a nationalist religious politician he's not my cup of tea. I think that lot have a dangerous vision for Israel. Almost as dangerous as what the Palestinians have in mind.

I didn't want to post it because my source is in french.
As for the palestinian "planning" are you taking the piss ? Who is ruling the region at the moment ? Palestinians have no power whatsoever and Israel, being a racist state, justify their killings and violation of human rights by this constant abject moral blackmailing, accusations of anti-semitism, victim card etc. that you use all the time. Palestinians have NOTHING TO DO with Hitler and what happened in WWII.
If you're looking for something remotely close to Nazism, you should look at Ukraine and some people in Likoud, definitely not in Palestine.

If you weren't that bored watching the documentary you'd have found out that the "Grand Mufti" was a close ally of Nazi Germany during WW2. These are facts, and then there's the rest of your mud-throwing posts that rarely deserve response.
I would gladly have a civilized discussion about the conflict, and even continue backing with facts my argument that Palestinian racist incitement still uses motives used by Nazis and European anti-Semites in general. It would be useful though if you spared a moment to have a constructive discussion instead of a name-calling contest.

Palestine was under colonial rule, I'd expect it was the enemy of enemy is my friend kind of alliance.
Aye there was that an aspect, see Bose in India, it was largely driven by strong Anti-British feeling.
Indeed.
However, the Palestinian Grand Mufti stated in his 1944 radio address from Berlin: "We will create an independent state that will have no room for even a single Jew or Jews accomplice". This suggests those two groups also shared bits of ideology.

Interesting article, stories from Israeli soldiers.
There are of course two sides to this story, but the obvious power needs to make the first move and by at least admitting these kind of actions it will help move forward.

Surprised CNN showed that to be honest.
Me too.
Surprised by the showing of the event, but not by the event itself.
