Maqluba at Palestine solidarity demonstrations in UK universities

Students at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford in the UK brought maqluba, a traditional Palestinian dish, to demonstrations held on campus in solidarity with Palestine.
In recent years, Palestinians in Jerusalem started a tradition of flipping pots of maqluba to serve to protesters outside al-Aqsa Mosque. Protesters would bring large pots of maqluba, which means “upside down” in Arabic, and eat it under the eyes of the Israeli police. The flipping of the pots as the cooks shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) became a ritual.
The beloved traditional food, also called the “dish of victory,” became a part of Palestinian protests. Eating maqluba became a prominent feature of the sit-ins in Jerusalem and protests elsewhere, serving as a symbol of Palestinian heritage and culture.

[@Tummamu]

Israel will say maqluba is anti Semitic

[@arimas1977]

NOOOOOO! They will say it is israelian as sionists steal everything even culture of food lol

[@SadaK-tr6dm]

💯

[@williammohan9784]

I thought Mqulabu played on the wing for Arsenal

[@ibrahimfarah8378]

They even arrested a lady for serving maqlubeh outside Al aqsa

[@Mike-tb5gj]

@@williammohan9784 Correct! He is the Gazan-born winger, Mohammed el-Mqulabu-al-allahu-akbar, who cost £1.43p when transferred from Rafah United last month. They say his phenomenal speed and ability to change direction in an instant, is due to him having trained under strict Hamas routines, having to dodge the live ammunition on the training ground! He is predicted to be a contender for the "Golden AK-47" at the end of the season......

[@WorldLove-fk8tl]

O Allah, grant victory to the honorable people of Palestine and give high honors to their martyrs, surely you are capable of everything.❤❤

[@michaelmais3657]

Israel is holding Hamas to account!!!!

[@angr3819]

Why no protests outside arms factories or their majority shareholders? Could it be....that they are supplying both sides? Oh those philanthropist bankers, their royal relatives and politician family members etc.

[@nayzak9791]

I guess you never saw the videos of people who support palestinians throwing red paint and disrupting the work in these factories as much as possible , so many have been arrested for that And no , they cant protest there for a reason ...some tried and faced police brutality in usa and uk too

[@sweetlan9319]

Oui, je l'ai vu. Ils ont même bloqué ou retardé de nombreuses expéditions.

[@Softy372]

This is a really lovely way to honour them... may Allah keep the Palestinians in our hearts forever and grant them freedom, Ameen.

[@Mike-tb5gj]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.....blah, blah, blah. They need freedom from Hamas!

[@certinho76]

Good food and hospitality to boot. Glad to see my Palestinian, Jewish, Christian brothers and sisters having a good meal together. Alhamdulillah. No. I don't condemn maqluba. I enjoy it.

[@jonnyh9388]

Hahahaha.

[@eightlights4939]

Meanwhile Palestinians want to erase all gays, jews, blacks, and infidels from the planet.

[@Mike-tb5gj]

No it didn't, silly person! The silly people just came out and bought a few flags and used their weekends to show how "right on" they are, while ignoring the purpose and intent, as well as the actions, of Hamas!! Do you even know what the aims and objectives of Hamas are?

This isn’t just about freeing Palestine, i.e ending the illegal occupation. Students are also fighting for the end of Israel's control over American politics. It's time for a new 'DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE'.. from Israel. God bless 💛

[@jonnyh9388]

John. You need to leave your mother’s basement more often and meet people.

[@Mike-tb5gj]

What occupation? Since 2005, when Hamas were elected into power by the people of Gaza (then immediately massacred everyone connected to Fatah, their political opposition, but still their 'Muslim brothers'), no Israeli soldier or even one Jewish civilian have lived or stayed in Gaza. Thousands of Israelis had to leave Gaza and go back into Israel proper. Where do you get your information?

[@rezamoghadasianrad7743]

❤❤❤from iran ❤❤❤

[@marshmellow.2886]

The fact that so many people rise and take a stand to defend Palestinians who are so different and far away from them is making me hopeful again of humanity. For many people equality is reality afterall. Thank you. God bless you❤
