Occupied Food Identities: Sustaining Palestinian Agriculture Read: https://bit.ly/3ONJEJD 400 days into a brutal genocide of the Palestinian people, with testimonials of the survivors in Gaza growing more horrifying every day, Israel’s plans for Palestine and its people appear to center on a strategy of long-term erasure and displacement. The deliberate erasure of a Palestinian culinary identity is yet another step in Israel’s deconstruction of Palestine and the idea of Palestinian identity—we’ve already witnessed the denial of Palestinian political identity and self-rule. The Israeli regime is systematically dismantling one of the longest holdouts of Palestinian cultural identity—their ties to their food. Palestinian culinary heritage today stands on the precipice of a near-total violent appropriation into a fabricated “Israeli culinary culture,” where traditional picking of thyme is criminalized and yet the many dishes it is used in—from shawarmas to hummus—are being rebranded as Israeli. From hummus to falafel, the active rebranding of Palestinian cuisine as “Israeli” or as “Middle Eastern” is key to Israel’s colonial interest in creating a top-down surface level culture. By featuring a cuisine that is atypical to Western cuisine, Israel legitimises its claims of a rich regional and ethnic culture by erasing and appropriating Palestinian culinary culture. But beyond culinary appropriation, Israeli settlers and the Israeli government actively criminalize, destroy and impede the cultivation and harvesting of Palestinian traditional crops—starving the Palestinian people and crippling their economy.

Whether you're a local or a visitor, exploring Israeli cuisine is a must-do when in Israel, and teachers from the Golden Chalk Programme in Kenya had the opportunity to partake in this culinary delight. One of the highlights of their gastronomic adventure was indulging in hummus, a dish that holds great significance in Israeli culture. Hummus is made from cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), tahini (a paste made from ground sesame seeds), olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. In Israel, enjoying a plate of hummus goes beyond satisfying hunger—it is a cherished social and cultural experience. #GoldenChalkProgramme

🌍💧 A Story of Hope and Transformation 💧🌍 Meet Martha Mbonye, an 82-year-old mother of nine from Ndebwe Village. Her testimony is a powerful reminder of the life-changing impact of access to clean water: “I’m so happy now, and it feels almost like a dream compared to what life used to be. In the past, getting water was such a struggle. I’d spend nearly the entire day walking long distances, especially during the dry season, just to find water. It was very difficult, and my family suffered because of it. But today, things are so different. I still can’t believe that clean, safe water now flows from a tap just a few steps from my house. My grandchildren even help fetch water as soon as they get out of school, and they no longer miss any lessons because there’s always enough water. It’s a huge relief, and we’re all much happier now.” Thanks to your generosity, stories like Martha’s are possible. 💙 Together, we’re changing lives, one drop at a time.
