back in jerusalem i began to learn that the issue of the israeli appropriation of palestinian food ismore complex than it first appears. almost half of israelis come from middle eastern backgrounds their parents or grandparents having lived alongside arabs in countries such as iraq morocco and yemen until the turmoil of the twentieth century and the creation of the state of israel. and to this day so many ms ryan as these oriental jews are known for continue the habits and customs which they knew from having lived in arab lands. but it's in the food they eat that we can find the biggest clue to the oriental origins of so many contemporary israelis this jury stressed ron specializes in iraq in kurdish craziness. the stews soups and salads and of the a typically middle east and. some jobs that are all they get think of when i would say. one day and that could show all flesh up shoko. the dishes are a reminder of the shed history and culture of many arabs and jews something easily forgotten in today's divided politics. of the. modern israel is a synthesis of different cultures east and n

kind of reaction that there's been because i mean i guess predictably and understandably the palestinian israeli community has been against the palestinians in the occupied territory as well but israeli jews as well have spoken out against very high profile names absolutely and look the likes of benny begin the son of prime minister menachem begin of the likud the first liquid prime minister in israel and even the president of his there are these are liberal. israelis so even if the advocates you know a very extremist policies say in the occupied territories or in terms of war and peace in terms of israel's enemies and neighbors and so on and so forth but when it comes to policies within israel itself they embrace liberal vision of the world much more than they are of the coalition partners of prime minister netanyahu who have who sure vocally so neo fascist tendencies very conservative right wing tendencies so liberalism is still alive in certain circles in his or there's also progressives in israel on the left you know so-called israeli peace camp and so on so forth even the middle that's why
