The Israeli military says it’s looking into what happened last month when its soldiers were filmed planting explosives and destroying a water-processing facility in the city of Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering.

I think the logic goes like this:

Hamas is made up of Palestinian civilians. Therefore, any civilian infrastructure in a Palestinian area is de facto Hamas infrastructure and must be eliminated.

The israeli military will report to it's big brother (US) that it did nothing wrong and then the US will clear them of any wrong doing, shut down everyone critical, and write them a big check to do more of the same or worse things.

I would like a satire version of reality where the miscommunication was "get rid of all Hamas", and the middle tier memo came over the wire as "Get rid of all Hummus". And then someone clicks and is like wait, we destroyed everything over hummus? That is how widespread the destruction is. Hummus is everywhere

Ha!
As a fan of hummus, that sounds like horror or dystopia genre to me :P

It is why it came to mind. I love hummus too. I've been buying bags of dried chick peas and rehydrating with spiced water. Then toasting up sesame seeds and blending with all the other stuff. Works out much cheaper than those store tubs. Take you to the Hummus Shop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ndQkntBW_E

Neat and sounds tasty! What spices are in the spiced water? I'm guessing you toast sesame seeds instead of using already prepared tahini, and do so to keep costs low?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Usually I put garlic powder, paprika, pepper, hot pepper powder (i like spicy), sometines a smidge cinammon. Soak it overnight or on low heat for a few hour and the simmer them till softened. Blend up with the toasted sesame( i can control the flavour and tahini is expensive), lemon, oil, garlic, and the hljuice from picked banana peppers if I have some left over. Gives a goid tang to it

Very helpful, thank you! You've inspired me to give making hummus another shot. I haven't been too satisfied with my results so far. Lots of good ideas in there. Like the pickled banana peppers juice. You sound like an awesome chef

I'm terrible at many things, but I do have a knack for knowing how something will taste ahead of time by the ingredient portions, my wife hates it because there is no recipe book... just toss together what's in the fridge and spice cabinet.
