At the emergency meeting of the UN regarding another conflict in the Middle East, the floor has been given to the Israeli Consul.
The Israeli Consul began, "Ladies and gentlemen before I commence with my speech, I wanted to relay an old story to all of you ...
When Moses was leading the Jews out of Egypt he had to go through deserts, and prairies, and even more deserts. The people
became thirsty and needed water. So Moses struck the side of a mountain with his cane and on the side of that mountain
a pond appeared with crystal clean, cool water. And the people rejoiced and drank to their hearts' content. Moses wished
to cleanse his whole body, so he went over to the other side of the pond, took all of his clothes off and dove into the cool waters.
Only when Moses came out of the water he discovered that all his clothes had been stolen. And Moses shouted to God, "I
have reason to believe that a Palestinian stole my clothes."
The Palestinian ambassador to the UN, hearing this accusation, jumps out of his seat and screams, "This is a travesty! It
is a lie! It is widely known that there were no Palestinians there at that time!!!"
"And now that we are all in agreement about the Palestinian issue," said the Israeli Consul, "I will begin my remarks."
