Deep dives
The Potential of Palestinian Food as a Means of Resistance and Cultural Identity
Palestinian food serves as a form of resistance against cultural erasure and appropriation by Israel, highlighting the historical significance and authenticity of traditional Palestinian cuisine. The appropriation of Palestinian dishes as Israeli by adding 'Israeli' before their names reflects a top-down cultural approach that lacks genuine identifying characteristics. Israeli annexation and reconstruction of Palestinian culinary treasures post-1948 ethically cleansed Palestine, leading to misattribution of dishes like hummus and falafel, impacting Arab cultural identity.
