In my younger years I was a chef…..I do enjoy preparing food and watching others enjoy eating the meal….because of my interests in food, war, Middle east this story caught my attention….

The controversy was ignited by an establishment known as “Conflict Kitchen,” whose rotating menu features items that are culturally unique to countries “in conflict with the United States.”

Members of the Jewish community in Pittsburgh are objecting to a local diner’s invitation to customers to sample Palestinian cuisine fearing that it could incite customers against Israel, according to media reports in Pennsylvania.

The controversy was ignited by an establishment known as “Conflict Kitchen,” whose rotating menu features items that are culturally unique to countries “in conflict with the United States.”

The restaurant also hosts cultural and political discussions featuring experts who can provide deeper insight into whichever part of the world the establishment wishes to train its focus.

Conflict Kitchen has in the past altered its menu to offer delicacies from Afghanistan, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela. Its latest selection – the Palestinians – has ensnared it into a controversy.

Gregg Roman, who heads the community relations council at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, told the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, “Conflict Kitchen’s focus on countries in conflict is honorable, but Palestine is not in conflict with the US. The restaurant is stirring up conflict for the sake of trying to be relevant.”

This week, Conflict Kitchen is serving up hummus, baba ghanoush, “salata gazawiya,” and musakhan, “the national dish of Palestine.” It is also hosting a discussion with a Palestinian author to discuss food and culture in the West Bank and Gaza.

Appears Israelis are running scared…..the BDS movement is gathering strength……more countries are recognizing Palestine as legit…….calls for Israel to face charges at the ICC…..they are desperately trying to control the news in an attempt to help the world lose interests in their utter destruction of Gaza….

Sorry dudes…NOT WORKING!  The rest of the world is sick of your BS on self-defense….about time that they be held to the same standards as the rest of the world…all debts to them have been paid.

I called the cafe to see if I could get a meal sent to me here in Mississippi…….least I could do.
