HAMMMMASSSSSSS, oh wait Hummus

Humanitarians,

For those of you who were here today, we hope that you enjoyed West Bank Story as much as we did. For those of you who were out playing instruments or whatever it is that you do, here is what you missed! We watched West Bank Story, a tale of two Falafel restaurants in the West Bank, one run by a Jewish family, one run by a Muslim family. It's based on the musical, West Side Story, about rival gangs in New York.
