Thank you for your kind words and sharing your thoughts.

Indeed, many Jews from the Arab world, Palestine included, share our cuisine, but my comment were not about Jews, but rather the political state of Israel. You may find this article on the issue informative: https://thisweekinpalestine.com/the-soft-power-of-palestinian-food/

I'm all for "peaceful resistance" but it can only be effective if the parties abide by international law to allow it to happen. Sadly, this has not been the case here. On this subject, this may prove useful: https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.13169/statecrime.5.1.0163

My way forward looks like this: https://sbahour.medium.com/opinion-want-israeli-palestinian-peace-try-confederation-f5058b22fac3?sk=2618a407efd33f492fb5a55b80e0b163

Again, many thanks! Hope to see you in Palestine soon.
