At an emergency meeting of the UN regarding another conflict in the Middle
East, the floor was 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 at the
sight
of that moutain 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 I have
reasons to believe that the Palestinians stole his clothes."
Yassir Arafat, hearing this accusation, jumped out of his seat and
screamed,
"This is a travesty. It is widely known that there were no Palestinians
there at the time!!!"
"And with that in mind" said the Israeli Consul, "let me begin my
speech...."
