Talk:Falafel

message: “ The controversy has also led to a rise in antisemitism during the 2023 Israel–Hamas waragainst American Jews with an Israeli-American falafel restaurant in Philadelphia being vandalized by protesters. This event drew condemnation from a White House spokesperson, and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, among others.”
The context here is completely taken away and the attribution of antisemitism is contested and therefore the paragraph does not follow Wikipedia’s neutrality. The shop was not THE target of protest, it was a place the protest passed during the march. This is a large corporation that has fired employees for supporting Palestine and whose owner is a cultural ambassador for Israel. Not a mom and pop falafel shop. The owner has hosted and supported many projects boosting Israel, celebrating "Israel's 75th birthday" on the anniversary of the 1948 wars.

This article in the NEW YORK TIMES of all places notes how he has cut off ties with Palestinian contemporaries.  Catofminerva (talk) 02:14, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Falafel restaurant protest 

message: The section on Vegetarianism under history has some awkward/incorrect prose. In particular, the claim that Falafel provided versatility for vegetarians in the US to make meatloaf, spaghetti and meatballs, and sloppy joes. 
1) You can use falafel in these recipes worldwide. This isn't an American only thing. 
2) Vegetarians were already able to make these dishes using other vegetarian ingredients like tofu, tempeh, and TVP. It is an additional  option though.
The changes I'd like to see:
Removing the reference to the USA
Rewording it to make it clear that this is a vegetarian option that can be used in common recipes without textual implications that before Falafel, vegetarians couldn't cook these foods. Big Money Threepwood (talk) 04:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The paragraph about cultural apropiation is clearly discrminating the descendents of the thousands of Jewish of non European origins that lived in Northen Africa,,Egypt, and the whole Middle East, their own history and the history of their families.
The article is not neutral and heavily biased, ruining the whole idea of Wikipedia for political issues.
This is not the standard of a neutral and unbiased colective construction of knowledge. Alexfrombonn (talk) 22:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
