Yet, it is, in fact, the greatest lie ever perpetrated on the whole of humanity.

Some people think the entire world is not only concerned about them but revolves around them.

This JUST arrived in my mailbox and after reading your post I can't help but post it. Here it is:

At the negotiating table, Prime Minister Sharon asks if he might first tell a story.

Yasser Arafat tells him to go ahead.

"When Moses was in the desert for forty years the Jews got very thirsty and Moses asked G-d for water and there appeared a beautiful lake. The Jews first drank and then bathed themselves.

Moses did the same but when he came out of the water his clothes were gone. Moses asked, "Where are my clothes? Who took them? The Jews answered "The Palestinians took them."

Arafat quickly objected saying, "There were no Palestinians at that time!"

The Prime Minister looked at Arafat, smiled, and said: " Now we can begin to negotiate"

"Imagine, if the Mexican-American community in California, whose numbers are greater than the number of Palestinians in the West Bank, decides tomorrow to claim that the United States is occupying their land, because they live there and they want their own Mexican state."

Actually, that IS exactly what happened to South Africa and the entire world ganged up against them and made them submit to the "black majority" who all had come from other African countries. Sort of like two lions and a lamb taking a vote on what to have for dinner!

Good read indeed, but I think it matters not who own's the land but more along the lines of who is gonna "keep" the land..............even if it means standing in the ashes of their enemies.

Stay Safe !
