Ahmed Abdelmageed asks, “If I, as a Palestinian, am not allowed to speak of Israel’s occupation and subsequent ethnic cleansing of my land in June 1948; and if I, as a Palestinian-American, am to watch my U.S. government unabashedly support my occupier militarily, politically and financially; and if I, as a Palestinian-American, am not to have the right to condemn, criticize or boycott my occupier; then what am I to do?”

The problem with Oren Rosenfeld’s feel-good Israeli movie, “Hummus! The Movie!” is not the cultural appropriation of a dish, but the willfully blind message that Jews, Muslims and Christians get along great in borderless Israel, Ahmed Abdelmageed explains. (And hey– don’t put pumpkin spice in hummus.)
