They don't even use lemon juice!<br /><br />I still try to support Israel by buying Israeli tahini (sesame paste used to make hummus) when it's available near me. You can even get tahini made in the settlements for an extra FU to the palastinian Nazis.<br /><br /><br />http://humus101.com/EN/ A very cool hummus blog. It also picked up on a couple of political issues of hummus, like the BDS movement and the attempts to 'patent' hummus to keep Israelies from making money off of it.TheTinCookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621725466819188876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-16452742626334303132011-02-21T17:10:05.945-05:002011-02-21T17:10:05.945-05:00If only there were some way to counter those "...If only there were some way to counter those "Palestinian-led Protests", but what in the world do they produce in the marketplace that could qualify? That's right! Nothing. <br /><br />They are a minus sum consumer group. Users, not producers. Even when the Israelis left them thriving agricultural businesses as they withdrew from Gaza a few years ago, the pea-brained malcontents deliberately destroyed the hothouse industries providing employment to over 4000 fellow-Palestinians. <br /><br />These poor folks seem to be too intellectually challenged to understand the illogic involved. So of course it would be OK to urge a boycott. There's no risk involved. Any coward can do it.49erDweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386245801517422226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-61176174773741555442011-02-21T13:57:54.626-05:002011-02-21T13:57:54.626-05:00Ever since I read about the Princeton boycott a fe...Ever since I read about the Princeton boycott a few months ago, I have been on a Sabra hummus binge. I buy it several times a week, bring it with me when visiting friends & relatives, etc. and always talk it up, saying how it is the best.<br /><br />Prior to reading about the boycott, I maybe bought it once a year. Is this what they hoped to achieve?Jeanne Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214081669265679010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-36039033660765393292011-02-21T12:27:15.636-05:002011-02-21T12:27:15.636-05:00@Spartan

All the more reason for their not backing down.<br /><br />I don't know if that's why the lefties always seem to be upset with TJ. Twice around Christmas time I've come out of TJ to be confronted by two young law school types asking me to sign something involving the ACLU.<br /><br />I just smiled and said, "No, thank you" and added with an even bigger smile, "But you guys have a very Merry Christmas!!"<br /><br />You should've seen the sour faces. So serious. No sense of humor. Little future legal jihadis.<br /><br />I thought about getting a group together to surround them and sing Christmas carols ... but ... I'm too shy and not one for confrontations.LukeHandCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050153852654024997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-62216183820645733212011-02-21T12:11:13.560-05:002011-02-21T12:11:13.560-05:00I always try to buy products the lefties say to bo...I always try to buy products the lefties say to boycott. I also started buying shares in the Israeli pharmaceutical company TEVA years ago. I thought it would be a good investment and I liked investing in an Israeli company. That investment has been berry berry good to me!!<br /><br />Thanks for the tip. My wife and eldest daughter have become hummus fanatics after they first tried it last year. I'll tell them to get Sabra and Tribe and to ask the store to carry it if they already don't.LukeHandCoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050153852654024997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-48580245435144747762011-02-21T12:08:13.582-05:002011-02-21T12:08:13.582-05:00So far these movements haven't gotten very far...So far these movements haven't gotten very far. They tried the same thing with Trader Joe's and it fizzled. TJ continues to sell the approximately five Israeli products in did at the time. In that case, the hooligans were threatening to throw the product on the floor of the markets, as they did in France, where I believe the idea came from. They announced that they would attack TJ stores nationwide on a given day, but nothing came of it and the company said it would not honor the demand. I believe they did throw product on the floor at one store, but it was before the national event was supposed to take place, If I remember correctly.Spartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879069269250337859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-56628937975125743332011-02-21T11:39:13.886-05:002011-02-21T11:39:13.886-05:00Sabra and Tribe hummus brand from now on, thanks k...Sabra and Tribe hummus brand from now on, thanks kids!<br /><br />More disturbing is the 'old hag' grooming these budding young agitators. I fear these young minds are lost, what a shame, but the 40 yr complex network of liberal polititards has nearly engulfed all of our college and university students. <br /><br />The good news is because of the bad economy, college money is drying up, non-profits are shrinking and these kids will realize after they graduate and can't get a job in Professional Global Agitation, that capitalism makes electronics work(YouTube) and food to sustain health(hummus). The ME will then be the furthest from their minds.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07956024937374267943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-65831481309519267542011-02-21T11:09:10.751-05:002011-02-21T11:09:10.751-05:00@Alex Bensky - Made in China?
