On Sunday, Pornhub sent its fans into a total meltdown ... after claiming Israel is the "land of hummus."

"Hello, I am on my way to Israel. Land of hummus. I will begin a hummus tasting tour," Pornhub Aria wrote in a tweet.

The account gave credit to Israel - a country whose legitimacy has been criticized on multiple occasions - for being home of a favorite mezza in the Arab world.

Hello, I am on my way to Israel. Land of hummus. I will begin a hummus tasting tour.
