I knew BDS wouldn't be happy about this

[leftynyc]

Anti-Israel activists were angered over a Sabra hummus product endorsement during the first episode of the “Late Show” with new host Stephen Colbert Tuesday night.

Will make sure to pick up some Sabra hummus for our New Years dinner on Sunday night. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year.

1. hag sameach leftynyc.....

....Sabra hummus wont be on my Rosh Hashanah table ....its god awful tasteless mass produced shit ....you should learn to make your own .

[leftynyc]

2. I wish I had the time to make it

but I really don't and mom just was notified of 5 more guests so she's scrambling. Their pine nut infused stuff happens to be pretty good. We're going with appetizers of hummus, eggplant spread and whatever else I can find at this great market in Westchester that is close to my house. I think they're Armenian but have all the goodies I love and make a lot of the stuff fresh. I am so totally against BDS that I do whatever I can to thwart them.

Wishing you an yours nothing but love and laughter in the coming year.

3. That's why I advise others to not buy it.

Forget the Israel / Palestine stuff - Sabra is bean poop, and people shouldn't eat it.

It's sort of like Fosters beer. It's the shit beer Australians won't drink so they sell it to the US instead.

Blegh.

16. As long as it's made of chick peas

It is amazing the things they are calling humus now. Lima bean humus? I don't think so.

4. Sabra is made in the US and the company is subsidiary of PepsiCo

but if you really think you're thwarting BDS by buying it, go ahead, but when it comes to eating it well there's almost got to be something better out there, maybe a Middle Eastern grocery store/deli where they make it fresh? That's where I get it and it beats Sabra hands down

[leftynyc]

5. I'll buy and it and feed it to my cats

If BDS is unhappy about it, I'm thrilled. But lovely to you to admit they're nothing but a bunch of thugs who go after anything remotely Jewish - even stuff not made in Israel. Just as expected from these clowns.

[King_David]

6. BDS crowd only care if it is Jewish or not

They don't care if it's Israeli or from occupied territories or anything else.

Recently the BDS movement wouldn't allow a Jewish American to perform at a festival but allowed a Gay hating performance.

Also recently the BDS movement left a severed bloody pigs head in a Kosher Jewish supermarket in South Africa.

The list is endless....

[leftynyc]

8. Precisely why

I do my best to thwart them at every turn. There is nothing progressive about them at all.

[azurnoir]

7. LOl one of the 2 tweets in the article was completely facetious and the other who knows

actually it's a non-issue and oh I doubt your cats will eat it either, mine won't neither will my dog for that matter (although she loves green papaya salad)- hummus in general not just Sabra

[leftynyc]

9. Between

going after the Jewish artist at that festival and embracing that anti-gay bigot, I have ZERO use for BDS.

[Israeli]

10. There is nothing " remotely Jewish " ...

about hummus or houmous leftynyc.......hummus is an Arabic word meaning chickpeas.

[leftynyc]

11. Tell that to the BDS people

who are mad at Colbert. It's just further proof they're lashing out at everything and anything.

[grossproffit]

13. Hummus is Middle Eastern and Israel is in the Middle East.

I'm sure it's a popular dish on many menus in Israel, just like baba ganoush and falafel. My husband makes hummus from scratch, using dry chickpeas that he soaks overnight.

I'm part Greek and love cold dips like melitzanosalata (eggplant spread) and taramosalata, made of fish roe, crusty bread, olive oil, lemon juice and onion.

[Israeli]

14. Its very popular grossproffit......

.....as is calamari, prawns etc , pizza with salami and cheese , bacon sandwiches etc etc ..........on many menus in Israel.

Nothing " remotely Jewish " about them either .

[grossproffit]

15. Apparently, there's only so much beef brisket once can eat. :=)

When I was a kid I thought Jews only ate matzo ball soup and gefilte fish. Imagine my surprise when I was first invited to my friends house for dinner, and was served fried chicken, mashed taters, collard greens and corn bread. I was like, huh? LOL

[Scootaloo]

19. That is manifestly untrue. If you have extra brisket around, I'll handle it for you. n/t

[King_David]

20. Another "cultural theft" cospiracy theory?

Are you the Jewish food police?

Well I say Hummus and Falafel are very Jewish ....

So there !!!!

Israel’s obsession with hummus is about more than stealing Palestine’s food

http://m.thenational.ae/opinion/comment/israels-obsession-with-hummus-is-about-more-than-stealing-palestines-food

Ha ha ha Ben White pffft

Hummus is as Jewish as Lockshen

[Israeli]

21. you can say ....

........" Hummus and Falafel are very Jewish " as much as you like King_David.

Nobody is stopping you .....they are just laughing at your stupidity .

[King_David]

22. I think they are as Jewish food

As Keneidels / Matzah Balls and Gefilte fish
All of which will be in mums Rosh Hashonah table and there will be laughter and Joy and happiness for sure....and I'm pretty sure with my Yiddishe Sechel nobody thinks I'm stupid.

[Scootaloo]

18. Why would you do that to your cats?

One, Sabra is gross, no matter what. Like GoJo that someone spilled frito bean dip into.

Two... cats are obligate carnivores. Don't feed them vegetables, man!

[leftynyc]

12. The article explains why BDS is

pissed at Colbert for "promoting" it:

Sabra is a target of BDS activists because it is co-owned by the Israel-based Strauss Group, which has provided care packages to the Golani Brigade, an infantry unit of the Israel Defense Forces.

[shira]

17. The bullies of BDS are pissed. Poor things. n/t
