Some twerp from Tel Aviv used to run a shwarma food truck around here (Detroit) and tried to tell me that A: shwarmas were invented in Israel and B: his were better than anything I'd find in Dearborn. Would you believe, dear reader, that they were catastrophically mid?

I am here to say that many Israelis look down on our (diaspora Jews) culture, our language, and increasingly don't like us as they realize that many of us don't like their fascists genocidal bullshit. These bagels are not Israeli.

Bagels are Polish, and not a distinctly Jewish food. Immigrating Polish Jews brought bagels to the US and only then did anyone consider them a Jewish food. Hummus is regional, also not a distinctly Jewish food.
