Israeli speech at UN

The Israeli Ambassador to the UN began: "Ladies and gentlemen before I commence with my speech, I want to relay an old Passover story to all of you... When Moses was leading the Jews out of Egypt toward the Promised Land, hehad to go through the nearly endless Sinai desert...The people became thirsty and needed water. So Moses struck the side of amountain with his cane and a pond appeared with crystal clean, cool water.The people rejoiced and drank to their hearts' content. Moses wished to cleanse his whole body, so he went over to the other side ofthe pond, took all of his clothes off and dove intothe cool waters. Only when Moses came out of the water he discovered thatall his clothes had been stolen ... And I have reasons to believe that thePalestinians stole his clothes." The Palestinian delegate, hearing this story by the Israeli ambassador,jumps out of his seat and screams, "This is a travesty. It is widely knownthat there were no Palestinians at that time!!!" "And with that in mind," said the Israeli Ambassador, "Let me begin myspeech.."
