    I wish every Palestinian a very pleasant warm meal straight from the settler’s plates.

        I recently found out that “Israeli Cous Cous” isn’t real cous cous. I felt so stupid because it was always right there in the name - fake cous cous from a fake country.

          is it even from israel? we eat something very similar (called tarhonya) and apparently it’s been here for centuries. we got it from the south slavs who got it from the ottomans who got it from persia or somewhere in that area.

          i actually really like tarhonya, but yeah it aint couscous.

          see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarhonya

          correction, the hand made version is old, the machine made version may be copied from the israeli stuff. or it may be an independent invention. i dunno.

        Famously, in fact. They couldn’t make their traditional foods in Palestine, the plants just wouldn’t grow, so their foundational cuisine is all simple anti-starvation recipes and half-assed substitute dishes. Now, you’d think that they’d adapt local cuisine, especially that of the local Jewish population. But no, couldn’t even do that. Imagine the early US settlers refusing to eat corn or potato, that grade of stubborness.

    I will not condemn what children who lost their mom’s and dad’s because of Israels bombing will do in 10-20 years but I hope they enjoy their life in free Palestine.

        I’m curious, if you don’t mind answering. How are relations between Berbers and Arabs in North Africa? I don’t recall hearing much about ethnic strife before but I’m half a world away so idk. I feel like there’s so much recent history in North Africa that’s valuable to learn but I really don’t know much at all.

          Some racism happens from time, some incidents, but that’s it really, tensions got lower once governments started actually recognizing us and our stuff.

            In Morocco it seems like the people I know don’t really care, the Arabs just think that Berbers are strange because they speak a different language, and their writing looks funny. Also there is some racism because some of the Amazigh people in the south (around Marrakech) have the stereotypical asian eyes (not sure how to describe it other than that, but I hope that people know what I mean). The nothern berbers in the Rif mountains are mostly stereotyped as weed growers, but I struggle to figure out if it’s an insult or not given the importance of weed to the moroccan economy.

      Not exactly what you’re looking for, but maybe check out Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth and A Dying Colonialism.
