Palestinians/Arabs in general are obsessed with the idea that Jews are “stealing” their food, music, culture. “Just like they stole our land!”
Even though they claim to have solidarity with Arab Jews, their solidarity stops at the idea that Arab Jews have just as much right to Middle Eastern culture as any Arab. Moroccans are the notable exception to this.
It’s a sore point that’s come up several times with Arab friends. Once had a big argument over maftoul/Israeli couscous/ptitim. :rolleyes:
