This isn't about hummus, it's anti-Israel propaganda.
The "historical facts" in this movie are totally skewed, and are totally one-sided.
The joke that Hanan Ashrawi talks about it being part of the "Palestinian Culture", a people that were created in 1964.
The reality is that is doesn't matter who or where hummus was created. The Greeks make it, so do the Turks. They don't claim to own it. The Israelis also don't claim to own it, we just make it and love it.
So why do the Lebanese and Palestinians get so hung up on it?
If anything, the Egyptians probably created it, as in ancient Israel, fava beans were more likely to be eaten than chickpeas.
There is no war. It's just that the Israelis were smart enough to take it global.
But this movie is just an anti-Israel screed.
Eat hummus, and enjoy, and ignore this trash.

Plot summary
Filmmaker Trevor Graham is an Australian 'hummus tragic'. Every week in his Bondi Beach home he observes the hummus making ritual, mashing chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic and tahina. But when the Hummus War erupted in 2008, among the usual suspects, Israel, Lebanon and Palestine, Graham was hungry for more. But this war ha no soldiers, bullets or tanks. Just chickpeas and hummus. Make Hummus Not War is a humorous homage to the chickpea's most distinguished dish. But there's a personal story, how Graham became a hummus tragic, a father who served in Palestine during WW2 and two lovers in his life, one Syrian, one Jewish, with whom he shared a great culinary passion.
