"The Israelis stole my land and my country, now they are even stealing our recipes," Palestinian delegate Mohammed Kebal complained to reporters. "The hand of Mossad is at work here. We will never take part in the contest again."

Huh. It's not even that the recipe was alleged to have been copied, but that the Israeli's even dared to *make* couscous.
