I was at a bbq recently and the host lady had made a pavlova (or "Pav" as it's known). I jokingly asked if it was Australian and everyone including her laughed, but there were daggers behind the eyes...
> While the Israelis have fêted it as one of their national dishes, the Palestinians are resentful of what they perceive as the ‘theft’ of a distinctly Arab speciality.
This sentence doesn't quite make sense. From what I read around half the Jews in Israel are Arabic.
Not sure why this being downvoted, I don't think anyone disputes it. If you want a source, Bari Weiss from the NYT discussed this on Joe Rogan a few days ago.
Outside of the middle east, the best falafel I’ve eaten has been at Jalla Jalla[1] in Malmö (arabic tradition) and L’As du Fallafel in Paris (jewish tradition).
Shalom Falafel in Jerusalem is excellent, although the lack of a queue was a bit of an adjustment for this non-hebrew speaking foreigner -- you basically just shout (or wave your arms wildly in my case) to get someone's attention.

But we don't want to wipe each other from the earth over that or anything else.

Israelis generally see Falafel as an Arab origin dish.
+There are Jews that are in Israel for thousands of years (eating middle eastern food)
+There are Arab-Jews
+There are Arab-Israelis
You won't really hear a Jew with Russian origins claiming Falafel is his heritage
