Who owns Israel?

[McMouse]

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..'.

Amen

[Zeuhl]

So Israel's territorial claims are all based on a Fairy Story.

You know, that's what we always thought.

The Canaanites were there then. However, at God's behest, the Israelites wiped them out. Genocide is not a great basis for founding a country.

[AB Editor]

Not necessarily uncommon though!

[jno]

true. The ancient Britons were lucky to survive when the Romans turned up.

[Zeuhl]

On that note from jno, the Celts should follow Israel's example.

All the best real estate in England will be cleared of people and handed over to the ethnic Welsh, some of whom will be repatriated from USA, Australia, Patagonia etc to reclaim their Promised Land.

The present occupants of England will be housed in camps set up in Northumberland and Dartmoor. Some will be allowed to stay in a narrow strip of Kent, but will be surrounded by razor wire and minefields and checkpoints to ensure the territory is unsustainable.

The UN will condemn it but the Welsh will be able to ignore that because they will have the backing of their allies in the USA.

Yes, that should work.

Shouldn't this be in the not-very-funny-jokes section?

[Brenden]

Genocide is not a great basis for founding a country. Agreed, but isn't this what the palestinians and the arab states are planning for Irael.

[Zeuhl]

<<isn't this what the palestinians and the arab states are planning for Irael. >>

Agreed. But if a horde of Americans and Russians shoved you out of your home you'd probably feel pretty genocidal yourself!

[pa___ul3]

it's just 'reasonable force' against burglars and squatters isn't it?
