 50 Arab and Jewish chefs have served up a world record for cooking hummus in the name of Middle East peace.
Cooks from both sides of Israel's religious divide filled an eight-meter-wide satellite dish with four tons of the dip, nearly doubling the Guinness world record set in Lebanon.
The man behind this latest idea, Jawdat Ibrahim, an Israeli multimillionaire, has devoted his life to promoting co-existence since winning an American lottery years ago. His message seems to be: "Give chickpeas a chance". (Read his inspiring story here.)

 Hollywood actor Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith are raising funds to help the United Nations World Food Program tackle hunger in Haiti by auctioning a special piece of art decorated and signed by musical artists and the Smith family at the Nobel Peace Prize concert they co-hosted in Oslo last month.
The artwork selling on eBay, is a colorful map of world hunger decorated with personalized silhouettes drawn by Will, his family, and the artists who performed at the concert.
The auction, with five days left, currently shows a top bid of $200. All proceeds will go towards providing meals to school children in Haiti, where WFP already provides food to more than 500,000 school children.
