To Whom Does The Land Of Israel Belong?

Common Sense Commentary: I love it when an honest man baits his hook, casts it into the water and gives a lying opponent plenty of line before he sets his hook and reels in the liar like a helpless fish for the world to see.

TO WHOM DOES THE LAND OF ISRAEL BELONG?

An Israeli sense of humor at the United Nations set the record straight.

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the world community smile.

The 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."
