The Falafel Wars?

There is more trouble for the already grief embroiled Middle East. The Lebanese are accusing the Israelis of stealing their Falafel! They are planning on filing a case against the Israelis in the international courts for violating copyrights!  

Fadi Abboud, president of the Lebanese industrialists association explained that, 
Israel has been marketing Lebanese delicacies under the same names and ingredients around the world has caused great losses to Lebanon, and that while, “the full extent is unknown, it is estimated at tens of millions of dollars annually.”
I am deeply distressed by this. I really like Falafel. And in fact I am including the Holy Falafel Spheres (HFS) as one of the major Gods of the Flying Spaghetti Monster religion. And it is unfair to claim one of the Gods of this religion as being local to any one region of the world! Especially when a God tastes so good!

Anyone in Lebanon is prohibited by the semi-Muslim/semi-Christian law to act against Israel for having bombed their country repeatedly. Suing them for stealing falafel is the only revenge they can enjoy. Go lebanon! This is the Falafel Revolution and I support it.
