Given their past battles, maybe making the largest bowl of hummus is a better way of settling differences in the future.

The Lebanese have just wrested the world record from Israel for making the largest vat of hummus.

Next on the agenda is the the felafel record held by Israel.

This is a brilliant political strategy by Israel; get the Lebanese to invest their resources into making very large quantities of food instead of importing very large quantities of missiles.

Rest assured – Israel still hold the kneidlach record. They can take a lot from the Israelis, but never their kneidls.
