In response to my post below about the dish Dahlanzania, Ali Abunimah--or Electronic Ali as I call him--sent me a recipe (I cite with his permission of course):
"Take one slice of Palestine (a strip of about 12 miles by 5 will start) Slice and dice, sprinkle liberally with Israeli settlers, soldiers and checkpoints. Seal the edges and cut the inhabitants off from the outside world. Scrape up the worst elements, including gangsters, arms dealers, collaborators and corrupt officials and add as much money and weapons as you can. Pre-cook in secret meetings with Ariel Sharon, Shaul Mofaz and General Keith Dayton. While cooking ensure not to allow exposure to any democracy or the dish will collapse. Enjoy! Recipe Serves Israel and the United States. (Please note that the recipe is likely to fail. If so, don't worry, just take another strip of Palestine and start from scratch using more weapons, money and collaborators)."
