Who
does Israel belong to?
An Israeli Sense
of Humor at UN set the record straight.
An ingenious
example of speech and politics occurred recently in the
United
Nations Assembly and made the world community
smile.
A representative from Israel began: 'Before
beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses: When
he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a
good opportunity to have a bath!'
Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the
rock and entered the water. When he got out and
wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A
Palestinian had stolen them!
The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously
and shouted,
'What are you
talking about? The Palestinians weren't there then.'
The Israeli representative smiled and said, 'And now that
we have
made
that clear, I will begin my
speech...'.
