حاجة كذب لبنان هو جبل في سوريا الكبرى و سوقتوا المطبخ الشامي انه أكل لبناني مع أنه مطبخ بلاد الشام و الأبجدية أكتشفت في أوغاريت في اللاذقية وعملتوها منتج حضاري لبناني وفوق هيك مار مارون حلبي

Sure, palestinian refugees also went on and planted wild zaatar all over lebanese mountainous areas.

@@tinanemer8206 Your sarcasm isn't attractive. This video is about food. Can you imagine if they were talking about where the origin of the dabke (PALESTINE) and other "Lebanese" folklore songs came from, how my response would also be? If you had even read my post carefully, your response would have at least been thoughtful and intelligent. I'm not surprised considering what history unfortunately has already taught us. But I will remind you that in my post , I wrote that the Palestinian refugees taught the Lebanese farmers what zaatar is in the first place and the skill of how to plant and cultivate it. By the way the Lebanese mountainous area you just referred to was part of historic Syria. And the southern part of modern Lebanon was part of historic Palestine. Historic Palestine & Syria were part of Bilad Ash Sham. Lebanon and Jordan are modern states built in Palestine and Syria with the help of foreign colonialists and imperialists. Try not to lose any sleep tonight.

@@nomeyah631 sarcasm is the only suitable way to respond to a comment full of hatred and superiority, even more so a comment that isn't accurate. Anyone from the older generation will tell you that their parents used to eat zaatar w zet in their childhood and their parents before them, my grandparents as an example, and that is way before 1948.

@@tinanemer8206 My post has nothing to do with hatred and superiority and everything to do with facts and people who want to erase our history and appropriate our culture. A culture that was shared by all of us once upon a time and now is being labeled as only "Lebanese." I bet your grandparents and great grandparents that were eating zaatar and zait were probably Palestinian or Syrian lol. I don't care what you want to call yourself now. I don't care if your Lebanese or not. Just do not deny history whether good or bad and acknowledge the entire people of Bilad Ash Sham and our entire history. If a so called historian or any other person can not tell the truth about food then what else is he or she not telling the truth about? How will we ever heal as the people of Bilad Ash Sham whether we are Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrian, or Jordanian if we don't talk about what really happened in the past and what Palestinians are still going through, what Syrians are going through? Even in Lebanon, people are suffering. Why? Let's talk about this instead of creating fairy tale scenarios that are not going to change our countries for the better.

@@nomeyah631 Based on what you were saying there were no Palestinians as we know them today neither since it was all bilad al sham which was divided into several moukataat. How are we appropriating ur culture if it was shared by us too. Make it make sense :)

خيي انتو الزعتر بتحطولو بهارات ، فعملو معروف حلو عنا أكلنا غير اكلكم

​@@princesschateau بهارات؟ هههه انا مش اخوك و لا بعرفك و بعدين تاريخ فلسطين و سوريا اقدم منك و من دولة "لبنان" الي بتكون اختراع فرنسا. فانت حلي عنا. عيب عليك. الزعتر من فلسطين و ليس من فرنسا.

Dear Nome Yah, I feel that (if not mistaken) with your approach or with your historical explanation you are trying to build a "Palestinian nationalism" vs "Lebanese Nationalism" in a narrow way. Claiming that many of the Lebanese food or the Levant region foods as "Palestinian" is the same like some Lebanese fanatics do in this issue. The truth is that all the foods of the Levant countries share similar ingredients and dishes but also differ from each other in the way of cooking or in other ingredients. So now we have the Lebanese Cuisine, Palestinian Cuisine, Syrian Cuisine etc. The Lebanese are clever in diversifying their cuisine and developing it and marketing it internationally in a way that now it became famous and most of our Palestinian, Syrian, Jordanian brothers and sisters praise it and love it and say that it is the best in the area. So no need to complicate the issue and make it a reason to divide or produce hatred.

@the recent comment. First off, thank you for at least responding with some class. When some ignorant people feel intimidated and challenged with the truth and don't know how to respond like a few here, they curse and resort to using foul language. I don't agree with you but I still wanted to acknowledge this. I'm not a Nationalist nor do I have an interest in it. And I'm certainly not a fanatic .There is a difference between an indigenous Palestinian and a modern Lebanese citizen. Don't confuse the two. I'm simply a truth teller who loves history and doesn't appreciate any so called historian who twists and distorts the truth and the past. Since you brought up Jordanian cuisine, it's mostly Palestinian if not all of it. Modern Jordan was created in historic Palestine by colonial and western powers. Pretty much the same way modern Lebanon was created. The majority of modern "Jordanians" are actually Palestinian or of Palestinian decent. How can a country or a people heal when history is continuously denied and ignored? It's like most Lebanese people (not all) have amnesia and selective memory and pick and choose what suits them and what they want to believe. With all due respect, I don't know if you are in denial or live in a fantasy world. Your amazing idea of Lebanese people diversifying and marketing our cuisine sounds like the "Israeli"/ Zionist one. It's cultural appropriation. I have Syrian friends and our feelings are mutual. And for you to make it look like we Palestinians and Syrians are grateful for how you "cleverly" marketed our cuisine as ONLY " Lebanese" , for you to think you did us a big favor and how we all think "yours" is the best tells me you are unrealistic and have no idea what ethnic cleansing means and how other people profit and take advantage of it. You can read my other post on another thread on this page. Maybe it will somehow help you understand what this all means. My feelings are valid and don't come from a place of hatred. The word hatred that you and many use is a word that people throw at the victim when the victim calls and asks for justice. Maybe if Palestinians weren't fighting a military occupation war for over 76 years controlled by the Zionists with the help of our "neighbors" we would have had plenty of time to diversify and market our own cuisine. When your censored by the Zionist media, it's becomes difficult to tell your own story and be in charge of your Palestinian narrative. It has been easier and more comfortable for the Zionists in the west to accept the Lebanese and even Jordanian narrative while they continue to steal everything Palestinian. The concept and reality of DIVIDE AND CONQUER has really worked out for you guys. It would have been nice had you people at least acknowledged and respected us while you all were out there "diversifying" and "marketing" our cuisine. It's called solidarity and unity, Smh. Your ancestors were either Palestinians or Syrians. Ahal Bilad Asham. I've already stated twice and I'll state it again. I don't care if you want to call yourself Lebanese or if you want to live in a country called Lebanon. Just do not deny history and the past. Give credit where credit is due. A little respect goes a long way.

زعتر من فلسطين هههه, يا زلمي جبالنا كلا زعتر .بنلموا من الغابات .يعني مش نحنا زارعينو موجود بالطبيعة . نبتة محلية
