"It's easily the most contentious
piece of real estate in the world. And there's no hope, none, of ever talking
about it without pissing somebody, if not everybody, off.

disputed.
Where does falafel come from? Who makes the
best hummus? Is it a fence or a wall?
By the end of this hour, I'll be seen by many as a terrorist
sympathizer, a Zionist tool, a self-hating Jew, an apologist for American
Imperialism, an Orientalist, socialist, fascist, CIA agent and worse….so here
goes nothing."
Bourdain explains it all in the following prologue to
the episode:
