This isn't about hummus, it's anti-Israel propaganda.
The "historical facts" in this movie are totally skewed, and are totally one-sided.
The joke that Hanan Ashrawi talks about it being part of the "Palestinian Culture", a people that were created in 1964.
The reality is that is doesn't matter who or where hummus was created. The Greeks make it, so do the Turks. They don't claim to own it. The Israelis also don't claim to own it, we just make it and love it.
So why do the Lebanese and Palestinians get so hung up on it?
If anything, the Egyptians probably created it, as in ancient Israel, fava beans were more likely to be eaten than chickpeas.
There is no war. It's just that the Israelis were smart enough to take it global.
But this movie is just an anti-Israel screed.
Eat hummus, and enjoy, and ignore this trash.
