How Palestinian Food, Identity, and Heritage Is Targeted

[@mdalat6129]

It's very true. I'm hoping more people around the world joining in to save and keep memories of Palestine alive, in any cost. When they want you to forget then the act of rebellion is to remember.

Beautiful Palestinian people and beautiful Palestinian culture. Thank you for giving us an insight into their humanity, despite those who are treating them so inhumanely. My love and prayers for the Palestinian people - I pray they receive peace, freedom and honour.

Keep Fighting! Freedom is for everyone!

Yay...sounds good. We will send the bill to you.

[@ak31314]

​@@MrEkzoticBill for what you aren't giving?

[@ak31314]

The Palestinians have a huge debt owed to them for all their lives, freedom, property and resources that have been stolen over several decades.

[@MrEkzotic]

@@ak31314 Free stuff for everyone is ridiculous...someone has to pay for it. If you want people to have free stuff, then you should be prepared to pay.

[@ak31314]

@@MrEkzoticYup, if only the occupiers would pay rather than stealing and destroying people's homes and land, then depriving them.

[@sihemlazaar6450]

Thank you for this. The world needs this kind of input.😢

[@azamyj607]

I guess when Israel limiting picking of za’atar as Palestinian identity and occupiers consistently demolishing olive trees and Palestinian food called as Mediterranean food is a part of culture erasure.. i pray Palestinian would able to cook and have a feast like everyone without wondering where to get or how much the cost of the ingredients..

Ooo Gaza is known for chile paste? My kinda culture. ❤❤❤

Oh thank you, very very interesting! I will try to find the book incha Allah ❤

[@andreachung396]

Ooooooos I wanna try Palestinian food

[@jfm14]

I admit that until recently, I didn't know life in Gaza was so vibrant. I guess I just ignorantly assumed everything there was sad and bleak due to the blockade. Ms. El-Haddad is absolutely right that this is a reductionist and dehumanizing way to think about a place and a people. Thanks for helping educate me... I will check out the cookbook!

I remember her she was on Anthony Bourdain's parts unknown.

[@user-pf7tf3rf1u]

I remember his visit to Iran. He destroyed the Israeli and American myth that Iranians are dangerous. From what I’ve seen recently, Israel is one of the most dangerous governments on the planet.

I’m so grateful to this channel for consistently showing humanity to Palestinians and edifying us on the conditions that been have been living under for decades. It’s truly heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

So how much have you donate to Palestine?

[@NS-ru5gl]

@@steadly3668 that is a question you really should not be asking. Not everyone can donate. And those who donate usually do it secretly. Donating comes from the heart

Seriously? This is worthy of any "NEWS" site

[@mdiaz4669]

Hater!? It's telling how a certain group (you know who you are) feels so threated by the rich culture and history of the Palestinian people. It's because they have no real history or roots in the region and so this is a threat to the narrative of the recent arrivals; the occupiers. 😇😇😎😎🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

It definitely is, perhaps you don't get it
