I know it was a joke, but I had to defend our beloved hummus, pronounced HoMMoSS and not khumus

-I didn't say that it is Israeli, it has simply originated in the region(Levant), and not entitled to any specific nation.It's Lebanese, certainly not Israeli

-Your link does not say that it is Lebanese, but that the Lebanese chefs have broken the previous Israeli Guinness record.
-Wikipedia clearly does not mention Lebanon in the Hummus article, but the whole Levant, and explains its origin more widely, please take a look into that.

It's Arab anyway: (from your wiki link)
In October 2008 the Association of Lebanese Industrialists[1] petitioned to the Lebanese ministry of Economy to request protected status from the European Commission for hummus as a uniquely Lebanese food, similar to the Protected Geographical Status rights held over regional food items by various European Union countries.[31][32][33] Fadi Abboud (president of the Lebanese Industrialists Association), stated that "Israelis have usurped several Lebanese and oriental products",[2]. As a response, food critic Jana Gur wrote: "The success of certain brands of Israeli hummus abroad may have been what brought about Abboud's anger", leading him to claim that Israel has been "stealing" their country's national dishes, like hummus, falafel, tabbouleh and baba ghanouj.[34] Shooky Galili (an Israeli journalist specialising in food who writes a blog dedicated to hummus),[3] claimed in reply that “Hummus doesn’t belong to the country that invented it, but the people who love it”.[35]
Interviewed on the BBC program Cooking in the Danger Zone, Israeli food editor Gil Hovav stated that Hummus is so popular in Israel such that "even during the intifada years Jews would sneak in to risk their lives, sneak into the Muslim quarter just to have a vital, really genuine good humous ...". When asked if Humous was originally Jewish, or Arabic, he answered that "Humous is Arabic. Falafel, our national dish, our national Israeli dish, is completely Arabic and this salad that we call an Israeli Salad, actually it's an Arab salad, Palestinian salad. So, we sort of robbed them of everything..."[36]
Food critic Jana Gur wrote that the ethos of some early Jewish settlers in modern Israel "was rejection of everything that reeked of Diaspora and an eager, almost childish, embrace of the Levant. The infatuation with falafel and hummus, staples of Arabic cuisine, started there."[34] The outcome, according to another commentator, was that "Shawarma, falafel and hummus soon became “sabra” foods."[37] According to Gur, "While not a single Israeli will claim that this chickpea and tahini concoction is anything but Arabic, the status it has reached in Israel is unprecedented anywhere in the Middle East: In Lebanon or in Jordan, hummus is a simple morning fare or a part of a meze table. In Israel it is a religion. The best hummus restaurants, invariably owned by Arabs, are considered national treasures. Guides are dedicated to the best places to "mop up" hummus, books and essays discuss comparative virtues of fluffy Jerusalem hummus as opposed to chunky Galilean versions. ...and supermarket shelves burst with a variety of hummus products, sporting catchy names (most of them Arabic)".[34]
