i'm still siding with finding a better source that is neutral to all however region of palestine is heading if albeit inching towards a possible consensus although i would still prefer it to say region historically known as palestine since it is a clarification of an undisputable fact anyhow nothing is set in stone and i'm open to additional constructive suggestions in regards to ashley y's comment immediately before mine are you opposed to using the term region of palestine its hard to acertain a position from your most recent comment except that you are basically saying it misrepresents the source because its not following the cultural context of the source where as previously you had said a related dish from the region of palestine and jordan is laban ma' hummus yogurt and chickpeas which uses yogurt in the place of tahini and butter in the place of olive oil this doesn't misrepresent the source and clarifies that palestine is not a country ashley y just trying to figure out where everyone stands the various comments on this page have gotten so long and often circular that its hard to keep everything straight
