Anthony Bourdain in Palestine: and Middle East cuisine

I watched his report from Palestine yesterday.  He is a much better foreign correspondent than Thomas Friedman and Christiana Amanpour combined.  The reason is because he was free of any religious or political baggage.  He saw the Palestinians as people and refused to take the typical Western-Israeli assumption (that they are subhuman) at face value.  But there were problems: 1) He had an Israeli expert at all time and not once relied on a Palestinian expert. 2) he talked to an Israeli father of a "victim" but did not talk to a Palestinian father of a victim. 3) He assumed that the Israeli expert has the ultimate truth and accepted what he told him at face value.  4) He did not really show the viewers the impact of the racist separation barrier.  5) He needed to elaborate more on the origins of food and not accept the silly notions of his Israeli expert.  Middle East food is this: Middle East food. It has constituents and elements from different ethnic and religious and cultural groups.  The names of the dishes are Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Armenian.  There is not a single Middle East dish that has a Hebrew name. Not one. It is a fact, and you have to accept it.
