Foragers plot

Palestinian cuisine cannot do without the plants za'atar (wild oregano, related to marjoram) and akkoub (a thistle-like plant with an artichoke taste). They grow on rocky terrain and are traditionally collected by the inhabitants of those areas. However, Israel has banned wild-picking, according to the official reading to protect nature, because both plants are becoming less and less common in the wild. The Palestinian residents see the ban as yet another harassment.
