Israel's News & Views BlogThe Israeli Ambassador at the U.N. 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, he had to go through the nearly endless Sinai desert. When they reached the Promised Land, the people had became very thirsty and needed water. So Moses struck the side of a mountain with his staff 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 of the pond, took all of his clothes off and dived into the cool waters. The only problem was when Moses came out of the water, he discovered that all his clothes had been stolen.
‘And,’ he said, ‘I have reason to believe that the Palestinians stole my clothes.’”
The Palestinian delegate to the UN, hearing this accusation, jumps from his seat and screams out, “This is a travesty. It is widely known that there were no Palestinians there at that time!”
“And with that in mind,” said the Israeli Ambassador, “let me now begin my speech.”

Oh, the wisdom. I am begining my “Easter” like no other, counting the Omer and praying for unity. Glory be to God in the Highest for His never ending Love of Jerusalem and the Children of Yisrael, through whom He has revealed His plan for His creation; All. Amen.
Heh! I had no clue where you were going with that!
But humor aside, I’ve heard a rumor that the present day Palestinians are the descendants of the Philistines. I’ve seen no evidence of this (although I have not researched this thoroughly) and I was wondering what your take would be on that?
The Palestinians were obviously descendants of somebody.
The question is whom?
Their rock throwing is characteristic of the Benjamites. But then, they would have been there at the time…
A nice opening of the ambassador’s speech, the palestinians are
probably decendants of the philistins or something like that,
who cares.
