When colonialism touches food, this is what it looks like. Hummus (حمص) is an Arab word. An Arab dish. With Arab roots. It existed long before the state of Israel and no rebranding will change that. This isn’t a “fun fact” about chickpeas. It’s an example of cultural appropriation used to whitewash occupation. If you love hummus, love the people who made it #hummus #ArabVoices
