Saana&#8217;s food ain&#8217;t bad either, one of my favorite places to eat, her spicy Hummus dip is to kill for.<\/p>\n<p>I think this line in the story pretty much sums up why we need to stop supporting\u00c2\u00a0Israel in the middle east. It is creating hatred towards Americans\u00c2\u00a0by Muslim&#8217;s across the world, and breaking off ties with Israel may help relations. We should try to be diplomatic with EVERYONE in the MidEast.
