The Conflict Kitchen's main course in anti-Zionism.

The Heinz Foundation, headed by the wife of Heinz heiress Mrs. John Kerry, AKA Teresa Heinz Kerry, has been caught having donated $50,000 to the “Conflict Kitchen,’ a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania soup kitchen that serves up food on a platter of anti-Zionism.

The soup kitchen recently came up with the gimmick of serving “Palestinian food,” whatever that means, in leaflets with quotes that support both terrorism and the idea that Israel should not exists.

The Heinz Foundation told the Washington Free Beacon, which scooped the story, that “the opinions of Conflict Kitchen do not represent those of the Heinz Endowment.” It also did not answer one way or the other if the fund would continue to dish out money to Conflict Kitchen.

A sample tasting of the soup kitchen’s propaganda includes, “How can you compare Israeli F-16s, which are some of the best military planes in the world, to a few hundred homemade rockets? You’re pushing them to the absolute extreme. So what do you expect?”

Another spicy piece of incitement states, “Palestinians are not going to just let [Israel] in and drop their arms. No, they’re going to kill and they are going to die.”

Conflict Kitchen also is big on Iran, and food wrappers told recipients of food, “Iran should equally have the right to develop nuclear weapons…. In general, Iranian people have no issues with the Jews. What Iranians resent is the creation of the state of Israel because of the disaster that it created for millions of Palestinians.”

Unlike the anti-Israel propaganda, Heinz was not listed as a Conflict Kitchen donator on the pro-nuclear Iran wrappers.

The Free Beacon also reported that Conflict Kitchen‘s co-director, Carnegie Mellon University associate professor Jon Rubin, refused a request by Gregg Roman, community relations director for the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, that a member of the Jewish or Israeli community in Pittsburgh offer a mainstream point of view at one event.

Rubin explained to the Pittsburgh News, ”The goal of our project is to represent the voices of the people that we are working with, [the Palestinians], so it does not make sense to have someone from Israel on every one of the panels,” said Rubin. “We may have an Israeli perspective at some point, and I understand their desire to have their narrative told, but they have plenty of other formats to do that.”
