Now that's more like it

Latest in hummus war: Israel doubles record: But Lebanon is already plotting a bigger plate of mashed chickpeas
You've got to love the opening line in this story:
Israel has taken the upper hand in a new kind of Mideast conflict, one in which bullets are replaced by chickpeas.
But most significantly:
Hundreds of jubilant Israelis, a mix of Arabs and Jews, gathered around the giant dish in the town of Abu Ghosh near Jerusalem on Friday, many of them dancing as a singer performed an Arabic love song to the beige chickpea paste.
Here's to hummus as a means to foster cooperation instead of violence. And it's quite tasty, too.
