Izzeldin Bukhari (Arabic: عزالدين البخاري) is a Palestinian chef from Jerusalem. In 2017, he founded Sacred Cuisine, which organizes food tours, supper clubs, cooking classes, and other events to promote vegetarian Palestinian cuisine.

## Early life and family

In 1616, Bukhari's ancestors immigrated to the Old City of Jerusalem from Bukhara, Uzbekistan to open a zawiya. Several of his family members, including his father, were Sufi sheikhs. One of his ancestors is Imam Muhammad Ismail al-Bukhari.
Bukhari was born around 1985. He grew up in Jerusalem with 3 sisters, interacting with people from various backgrounds and countries who had come to visit his family's zawiya. In 2010, Bukhari's father died.
Bukhari is based in Jerusalem but has family members living in the Gaza Strip, including his sister. By the end of October 2023, 31 of his family members had been killed and others had been injured by Israeli airstrikes in the Israel-Hamas War. He has spoken with news media about the difficulty of maintaining contact with his family in Gaza and worrying for their safety.

## Career

Bukhari is a self-taught chef. In 2009, he moved to Arizona in the United States. Away from home, he missed Palestinian food and began cooking it with spices mailed to him by his family.
In 2015, Bukhari returned to Jerusalem. Two years later, he founded Sacred Cuisine, a company that organizes food tours, supper clubs, cooking classes, and other events centered on vegetarian Palestinian cuisine. One of his most popular tours explores the Old City of Jerusalem and features foods like hummus, kras beid, freekeh, za'atar, mutabbaq, and halva. Past tour participants include Jamie Oliver.
Through Sacred Cuisine, Bukhari promotes Somi or vegetarian Palestinian food. According to Bukhari, traditional Palestinian cuisine is primarily vegetarian. He creates vegetarian versions of dishes; for example, he replaces the meat in mahashi with cauliflower, walnuts, and mushrooms and replaces the chicken in mussakhan with eggplant and mushrooms. Bukhari studies the history of Palestinian food and disseminates his knowledge about Palestinian food history, culture, and produce through Sacred Cuisine.
In 2020, Bukhari was featured in "Colonising the Tastebuds", a short documentary created by Mondoweiss and Baladi – Rooted Resistance. The film shows him talking about struggling to access food grown by Palestinian farmers due to the Israeli occupation. Additionally, he discusses food as a key part of his identity as a Palestinian: “Just talking about food can really reflect [...] the history of the Palestinian in this land. They [Israel] are trying to teach us to give up on being Palestinian. And we are saying ‘I can’t.’"
Around 2024, Bukhari began hosting Sacred Cuisine events in Europe.

# Red Flag Party

The Red Flag Party (Spanish: Partido Bandera Roja) is a communist party in Venezuela. Formed in 1970 by anti-revisionist members of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), the party initially supported the ideology of Enver Hoxha and the Party of Labour of Albania following the Sino-Albanian split, though in later years it gravitated back towards China. In the 1970s up until the 1990s, it was engaged in guerrilla warfare against the government. A young Hugo Chávez's first assignment in the Venezuelan Army was as commander of a communications platoon attached to a counter-insurgency force—the Manuel Cedeño Mountain Infantry Battalion, headquartered in Barinas and Cumaná. In 1976, under the presidency of Carlos Andrés Pérez it was tasked with suppressing the guerrilla insurgency staged by the party.
The Red Flag Party is currently led by Gabriel Rafael Puerta Aponte. After the electoral victory of Chávez in 1998, the party started aligning itself with the liberal and social democratic opponents of Chávez, labeling him as a social fascist. This has led to desertions from the party as many cadres instead joined the Chávez camp. The party was suspended from the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle) in 2005. It was succeeded within the organization by the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Venezuela.
In the 2006 presidential election, the Red Flag Party supported the candidature of Manuel Rosales. The party got 18,468 votes (0.16% of the nationwide vote) in that election as one of several parties backing Rosales. As of 2009, its popularity has rapidly diminished from its prior years and is reported to have less than 100 militant members. In 2014, the party left the Democratic Unity Table due to disagreements over objectives and not considering the coalition capable of placing itself on the forefront of people's struggles.

## Youth wing

The youth wing of the party is the Revolutionary Youth Union (UJR).
