The way to a people's peaceful coexistence is through their stomachs, at least according to a restaurant near Netanya, Israel. Since October 13, the manager of Hummus Bar in Kfar Vitkin has offered 50 percent off each plate at a table where Arabs and Jews are sitting together, The Times of Israel reports.

"Scared of Arabs? Scared of Jews? By us we don't have Arabs! But we also don't have Jews... by us we've got human beings! And real excellent Arab hummus! And great Jewish falafel! And a free refill for every serving of hummus, whether you're Arab, Jewish, Christian, Indian, etc.," the restaurant's Facebook post advertises in Hebrew.
