[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] 75 year old recipe for "Palestinian Levivot" and other Chanukah delicacies

From the Palestine Post, December 15, 1938:

Interestingly, this page distinguishes between levivot - regular pancakes - and potato pancakes, while today they are considered the same thing - latkes.

Haaretz has an interesting history of the word levivot, the latke and sufganiya.

I suppose this is evidence that Chanukah latkes are really a Palestinian Arab food - after all, we've heard the same arguments about the Palestinian football teams, the Palestine pound and stamps of Palestine from the 1930s and 1940s as somehow being proof of an ancient Arab nation of Palestine.

What's one more lie?
