Not sure why, perhaps it was just well written, but I really enjoyed this article, so I thought i'd share.....

JERUSALEM - Nader Sairi scooped the tan paste from a bowl into plastic containers, stacking them in columns five high along the wooden countertop. In a kitchen set off by a thin wall, his older brother, Fadi, tended to a pair of huge steaming pots simmering on a camp stove.

"May peace be upon all of you," a man holding a pita bread stuffed with fish said as he entered. He held his sandwich open to Ikermawi, who placed a dollop of musabaheh (essentially the hummus mixture without the chickpeas) inside. No charge.
The man saluted as three others rushed in to place orders. Ikermawi reached for the spoon.

Funny ol world aint it?
