Who Does the Land of 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 at the UN 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!"
