Palestine ??

[DAKA]

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."
