From the Foreign Policy Blog:
A giant serving of hummus weighting 4,087.5 kilos (8992.5 pounds) is seen resting on a six-meters (20 foot) satellite dish while attempting to break a new world record in the Arab Israeli village of Abu Gosh on January 8, 2010. Fifty chefs in the Arab-Israeli village of Abu Ghosh mashed up over four tonnes of hummus, beating the Guinness World Record set in Lebanon just months ago. The weight is about twice as much as the previous record set in October in neighbouring Lebanon, Israel's political and culinary rival.

I saw this movie last night and really was mesmerized. Similiar to Persepolis, the soundtrack of the movie takes on a central role, so I am including the track listing below, along with the German and American trailer for the movie. It is an Israeli film depicting the role of the army in the Sabra and Shatila massacre during the 1982 war in Lebanon.
