But...now we have a fight on our hands. Sabra's hummus is wayyyy superior. Far creamier and fresher tasting. And, if I'm not wrong didn't Tribe used to be called Tribe of Two Shieks? haha, good point Boomer.

Sabra’s hummus is wayyyy superior. Far creamier and fresher tasting.

And, if I’m not wrong didn’t Tribe used to be called Tribe of Two Shieks?

I do find that Israeli hummus is different than the Arab-made hummus that I find here in Phoenix. My favorite commercially made hummus is called "Tribe." It's good stuff and is also Kosher. I wonder if non-Jews understand that inside joke. http://www.tribehummus.com/ Its too bad I can't find any good schwarma. Nobody has anything that is close to as good as even the WORST street vendor in Jerusalem Khalid is attempting to hang on to any sort of national Arab pride, and if hummus is the best he can find, so be it.

Ruth has a reference to what is clearly hummus, although it's usually translated as vinegar. As YBZ says, these are regional foods that long precede the expansion of Arabs. As with most Palestinian raging, there's a kernel of legitimate grievance -- I was surprised, as a yeshiva kid, to discover that Arabs ate falefel, which had always been presented to me as uniquely Israeli -- that gets amplified way past the point of sanity.
