Golders green has a large jewish community, and with Israel being the home of the jews, it is only normal that an israeli-style restaurant would be so popular.<br />their aim is not to 'brain-wash'- as you said, the songs they play seem innocent to the every day listener anyway. how effective could their methods be if no one understands the "zionist overtones"?. they are not interested in the politics of israel, they successfully create a fun israeli atmosphere where anyone can come to enjoy a non-english meal.<br />furthermore you start by claiming the music is 'jolly' but then, as your tone becomes more aggressive you claim the music is as well. this is more a projection of your negative attitude than the actual music.<br />your entire argument is flawed really. the food they sell IS traditionally israeli and is recognized that way by most. there will always be a way to prove that at some point a dish originated elsewhere; i am sure i could some how prove that pizzas were not invented in italy, but that would not take away from the fact that they are considered Italy's national dish. anyway as you pointed out Mizrachi JEWS brought the dishes over and as Israel is the jewish state it is obvious their traditions will come from the jews who settled there from all over the world. <br />most people go to restaurants in order to have a good time. when you walk in with a bad attitude as you seem to have done, inevitably you will only have bad things to say.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01545387630736834353noreply@blogger.com
