politicizing food culture to stop a final status peace between nations based on equal rights

 

 

 

  In 2013 the Washington Post published an article about how shared food culture could lead to a final status Palestine-Israel peace with equal rights regardless of faith.  The article was aggregated here too. 

 

  The article showed how shared historical narratives around food culture should work to promote a final status peace based on equal rights.  By 2021 another article about foods eaten and named widely in the "Greater Middle East" stimulated Eric Rozenman (former camera.org Washington director and since 2016 communications consultant at the Jewish Policy Center) to write another of his one-sided letters delegitimizing equal rights by keeping the very name Palestine associated with only politics or violence not a people with a food culture influenced by neighbors with distinct variations.  

  

  Rozenman's letter read: 

  In the March 17 [2021] Food section, of all places, the Post's Israel problem reappears.  In "Make kashk, make memories" Naz Deravian wrote that the Iranian-style yogurt, "in varying preparations and names, is also used in several neighboring countries and regions, such as Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey and Palestine."  When I've eaten it, under the name leben, I was in Israel, not "Palestine." 

  History's only legal-political Palestine- the post-World War 1 British Mandate for Palestine- was succeeded in the mid-20th century by Israel, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

 The Washington Post does not have what Eric Rozenman calls an "Israel problem."  In the one-sided, tired and tendentious views of Eric Rozenman and both of his employers CAMERA and the Jewish Policy Center the Washington Post has a problem with legitimizing the views of Jews who don't share the positive view of zionism that Rozenman and his employers have.  Rozenman and his CAMERA and JPC (Republican Jewish Coalition-affiliated) hide their political views behind the innocuous term of "media monitoring."
