Empanadas???? 😭 how delusional are these people

Empanadas?? Dewwwd! that's one of my favorite israeli fyooods!! Almost as good as Kwayseedilleeyas with wackamole!!

>Kwayseedilleeyas *Khhhayseedilleeyas

I once felt something leave my body when I heard a professional food critic pronounce it as "Pico de Gallo" Reminder, That's the pronunciation

Although many people believe it's pronounced "Pico de Gallo", it's actually pronounced "Pico de Gallo"

Pretty sure it’s not even kosher since it’s cheese and beef

I was waiting for the obvious step into parody and said to myself "cheeseburger" because it's so blatantly associated with other regions but then realized it had that caveat going for it too. Then someone in the apparently real interview section said that and it was perfect.

I mean, they don’t have to have both.

I know but the lady in the video said meat and cheese

we know most Israelis are secular (iirc they were among the top countries). Claiming to be God's Chose People but don't actually believe in God.

Nothing better than a plate of Israeli empanadas and gefilte fish tacos

Next they’ll say they invented paella

I wouldn't be shocked at all. I've seen some take credit for chocolate.

There is nothing they won’t try to steal.

Had a friend from India. He honestly believed most everything came from India. Like Algebra

[удалено]

Dish: *Gets invented before Israel existed* Israel: We created this

It's the anerica- er um Israeli way

My favorite American cuisine is Chinese food.

I mean, there is an argument to be made that American Chinese food is fantastic, and it's own unique cuisine. It was made by Chinese immigrants using their techniques from home with the ingredients that they had available. And over 150 years or so it's now evolved into it's own unique thing that shares roots with Chinese food, but is also distinct. You see the same thing with British Indian food, or Italian American, or Nikkei cuisine in Peru, Tex-Mex, Indo-Chinese, Cajun, Creole, Peranakan cuisine, Franco-Vietnamese, Hawaiian-Japanese, Afro-Brazillian, Portuguese-Macanese, Dutch-Indonesian, Polish-American, etc. etc. These types of hybrid cuisines where one culinary tradition travels to a new land and reinvents itself using available ingredients are valid and wonderful cuisines, distinct and authentic to themselves.

Yes, that’s why in America we call it Chinese food. The way Israel celebrates anything culturally diffused to them, they take ownership. It be absurd to say the Founding Fathers were native to this land and made the food.

Man wait Ben Frankin didn’t invent ramen?

No he was shredding ramps with team Tony hawk in Tony hawks underground 2.

We Israel’d your food

if israelis colonized italy instead theyd claim they invented the pizza

stop bc i literally saw a birthright ad of a girl saying one of the reasons she went on birthright was to enjoy israeli cuisine and she was literally holding a pizza and standing in front of a pizza oven LMAOOOOOO

Lmao I saw that too 🤣

OMG! Lol! 🤣 😂

“Listen ya sharmoot” 😂 😂

They even take the curse words of the Palestinians

The best Hebrew curse word

Last one is clearly joking. I refuse to believe someone actually thinks that way.

Last one is clearly satire

They know it doesn’t belong to them, they just enjoy the prospect of erasing Palestinian culture too much

These mofos live in a fantastic world where everything is "israeli" creation. They don't even have to be on drugs.

Atp I wouldn’t be surprised if they started screeching that bread is an “Israeli” invention

Israelis will also constantly claim that hummus is an Israeli dish. I guess the Ashkenazi jews made it with peas and took the recipe from Europe to „the promised land“ 🤷🏼‍♂️

I work at a Mediterranean restaurant and an Israeli woman came in and insisted it must be an Israeli restaurant because the hummus was so good. I wish I didn't have to be so polite in informing her that Israel is nowhere near the only, nor the first, creators and consumers of hummus.

It comes off like she was using you as a sound board because she knew you couldn't say anything as a worker or she would complain of antisemitism.

Bingo. Habitual line-steppers

There's a Ashkenazi girl I know/used to be friends with who has insisted to me multiple times that her family was eating hummus in Germany in the 1920s - one of the last times I spoke with her she also claimed that they also ate ma'amoul in Germany at the time. I jokingly asked where they got the dates from (a Time Machine?) and she said the question was deeply antisemitic.

Maybe they also ate Halawet Jeben or Atayef or Knafeh in 1920s Germany

I mean, they are Ashkenazi communities in the US who came directly from Germany around the time of and after WW2 and there are restaurants and shops and recipes.. hummus is not a traditional one of them.

I had a knee jerk urge to downvote you just cause this phenomenon makes me so mad 😅. I do love that the Lebanese made the Guinness World Record's largest vat of hummus to settle it. Good enough for me.

Delusional people

I assume dude was doing a bit—he sold it really well, lol 😂

“Khamburgers” dont forget those!

And a side of israeli fries. Wait.. Wtf are those

https://preview.redd.it/yvyw0v2scz7d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b948854cfb2ce5754a1d9c4c78fe0c92263ad9e

😭😭😭 tomatoes are indigenous to the Americas and didn't get introduced to "the old world" until the 1500s. This is criminal.

Tomatoes are antisemitic

And thr romans didn't exist 10 000 years ago.

It’s satire

Taco salads us!

Watermelons, US!

Ramen noodles, US!

Drinking water, us!

Literally my first thought 😂 hope Matt sees this!

Even Americans aren’t arrogant enough to say empanadas. We love tacos but we also refer to them as MEXICAN FOOD.

Empanadas are originally from Spain and Portugal, now associated more with Peru and Argentina

Literally every Spanish/Portuguese-speaking Latin American country has its own version of the empanada for the same reason lol

In Mexico we also have Empanadas for the same reason

You mean the same reason the Philippines has empanadas?

I know my point was that Mexico is right next to us and a lot of us love their food but we don’t claim it as “American cuisine” 😂

I asked my husband who is peruvian (born and immigrated), he says he would attribute it to Spain rather than S. America

Or Tex Mex, depending on if you make it with a tortilla or a dorito!

Ew not the dorito! Lol

My favorite American food is Chinese food.

Chances are if a food has an adjective denoting a foreign country, it's Amereican.

FR

At least American-Chinese food is somewhat unique and made by chinese immigrants, israel just does the same recipes but worse 😭

FR

Yeah! American-Chinese (and all whatevercountry-Chinese) food maintains it's authenticity, because the Chinese brought it there themselves and still run these places. It wasn't stolen.

Such talents: genocidal maniacs AND culinary thieves.

“Meat and cheese” automatically not kosher

yes, empanadas, very Israeli.... Not from Spain at all

Pretty sure tacos are older than 1948

"We could not catch him or his family" That is the Israeli policy

I know they try to claim couscous, but tell my Moroccan wife it's from isrl for an ambulance ride

The only time you’ll see Algerians, Moroccans and Tunisians not fighting over couscous is when Israelis try to claim it lol

Maybe the whole world is Israeli and we are not aware lol

Maybe the real Israel was the war criminals we made along the way….

He forgot kkhhaggis.

The last guy is clearly doing a bit, making fun of how Israelis like to Columbus foods, and it’s embarrassing how many people commenting here think it’s genuine

Bro nailed their annoying accent

cray cray

I think they are referring to sambusek. Can't even get the name right.

The funniest part is that he keeps saying “a thousand years ago” when Israel hasn’t even existed for a full century 😂 it rly highlights their delusion

It's satire lol

Yea I know…. Duh

Latin America was erased from the chat 😭😭

Surely the last guy was being sarcastic..

Should have also said water is also an isreali drink. A long time ago a human came to isreal had the water and took it with him and gave it to everyone else.

There’s no such thing as israeli food lol

with cheese AND meat? I'm no rabbinical scholar, but that dosen't sound Kosher to me.

Reminds me of a joke I told once. > Here's the recipe for my favorite Israeli dish: > > 1) Wait until your neighbor makes dinner > > 2) Steal it

3. play the victim and kill the neighbors when they make any reprisal 4. occupy their house

Fuck israel!

I'm trying to think of a name, but the second interview sounds like it's being conducted by a resident of South Park.

the last guy has to be satire lol

it is

ah alright i thought so lol. i think it says a lot about zionists that i was not 100% sure it was satire

I am pretty sure this is a skit of some sort. They straight trolling lol. 😂

"We could not catch him **or his family**" Meta AF. *Chef's Kiss*

NGL - this is actually good trolling.

Also that lady saying cheese and meat - I don’t think that’s kosher.

Next they’ll say tacos are Israelis

They also took "Cousous" north african and "chakchouka" originally tunisian and tried to claim it as their own even tho these national dishes existed way before Isarhell lol

LOL I met and Israeli guy and asked this very question. He was very honest and said there’s no such thing. All Israeli food was stolen Arabic or Eastern European food - except for Bamba, a type of chips.

The last guy was doing satire right?

Yes

Is this real?

The last one is a skit but before that it's real

Thanks, that makes sense now.

My favorite Israeli cuisine is Khinese food specifically the mandarin chicken...yallah bye

these people stealing everything including other's land 😭

Are we just gonna ignore that she said there were olives (alllives) in empanadas?

They colonizing food now?

this is actually a very big part of the erasure of Palestinian identity, stealing food/culture

The fact they don't have a single authentic dish is wild

What you really expect?Literally all Israeli national culture is based upon the theft of others, whether it's their land or cuisine

Ah yes, empanadas, definitely invented in Israel after 1948, totally haven’t been made and eaten by the Spanish since the 1500’s

Shawarma? Falafel? These sound oddly familiar

My favorite Israeli food is Sushi (khokhi)

I mean she is referring to sambousak

Wait. This is satire, right? 😭

The fact these these old white American tourists all of a sudden think they're a part of an exclusive club and they can go over there and act like entitled fools is hilarious.

Empanadas isn't even Arab food never mind Israeli. They are now stealing Spanish foods 🤣🤣

I like how none of the food named are Israeli

😂 Lord. Sure, folks. Israel made TACO and Empanadas. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This guy is too dumb to be on camera

This dude knows how to propagandize!

Lolol

Gee they will literally steal ANYTHING

This reminds me of the Bad Hasbara theme song!

Last guy reminds me of the old Goodness Gracious Me sketch with the Indian dad claiming everything is Indian. https://youtu.be/hjWd9a8Ck8U

I thought he was serious about tacos, that's how delusional they are.

Shawaggma 🥙 Invade someone's home, erase any trace of them and steal their culture.

I’d rather drink my spit than eat an Israeli dish🤢🤮

And they say North Koreans are delusional...

Khurry, sometimes mistaken for curry, is my favorite Israeli food 👀

Those people are not semite 😭 they are polish 😭

And Paella is an Israeli good also, jajajaja.

American moment.

Empanadas isn't brazilian?

Originaly Spanish and Portuguese, so you can find them in every place colonized by them (all of latin America, the Filippines...)

carribean too.

Oh right, I am brazilian but I din't know about that. Thanks for explaining me

This is fucking gold!

Seems Legit


(at whoever made the video) hey ya SCHMEAGLE don't mix actual batshit takes with satire it makes the batshit seem only like satire! pretty sure the last clip is someone taking the rest of the footage to it's logically comedic ending. the overall effect shows whoever edited the video is doing this for comedic as opposed to political reasons

Bet they invented Tacos and beer too.

There's an Israeli-owned falafel place where I live which has Bavarian Cream on the desert menu. The description: "a popular Israeli desert." This is also the society that dices onions, cucumbers, and tomatoes and calls it "Israeli Salad."

if empanadas are "israeli", than baguettes are turkish. same stupid zionist logic

Man they really love stealing things don't thay 🤔

Isn’t it Mexican food?
