Since international courts tend to be assiduously fair to the Jewish State, I don't think that this will go anywhere:

A Lebanese official says Lebanon is preparing to file an international lawsuit against Israel for claiming ownership of traditional dishes it believes are originally Lebanese. The president of the Lebanese Industrialists' Association, Fadi Abboud, accuses Israel of "stealing" Lebanon's cuisine by marketing dishes such as hummus as its own. He says that while Lebanon is partly to blame because it has never registered its main food trademarks, Israel's adoption of these dishes causes Lebanon to lose millions of dollars in trade. Reports in the Arabic media say Abboud is also concerned about Israel's marketing of not just of hummus but falafel and tabbouleh.

I'm kind of surprised that they're not accusing Israel of "colonizing" their national foodstuffs. That, after all, is the perennial anti-Israel accusation a la mode. Has there ever been an international court that hasn't found Israel guilty of colonizing something?

I'd actually be on board with this if Lebanon would promise to enforce its trademark against Whole Foods and associated co-ops - places where liberals shop to be seen shopping by other liberals. But Lebanon and blue staters are on the same side now, so I'm not holding out much hope.
