About This Quote
Israelis are a mix of North African, Levantine, and Eastern European, which inflames the politics but does amazing things for the women. In the Middle East, it is not uncommon to hear people speak about the various different nationalities that make up a country. In Israel, however, this idea is a little different. It is a nation that was created from many parts because of its history and culture. As a result, Israeli culture has been heavily influenced by others.
For example, Israelis have long been lovers of North African music and food. This influence has lead to a unique Israeli music scene as well as unique foods such as falafel and hummus (flesh of chickpeas processed in a special way). Many Israeli dishes are similar to those found in other countries such as India or Africa.
The dish tahini (sesame paste) is now common throughout the United States as well.
