A Palestinian reporter is complaining that Israel stole humus and falafel from her people. 
 
Speaking on official Palestinian Authority TV, in a video translated by Palestinian Media Watch, a reporter claims Israel has launched a “brutal attack on Palestinian heritage, including Palestinian foods.”
 
The report claims the “theft” includes not only falafel and humus but other popular foods. 
 
“It is essential … to preserve the heritage and also the Palestinian foods” from the "occupation," she says.
