"I want to begin my speech with a retrospective journey into the history. Once upon a time Moses guided Jews along the desert. It was hot, they were thirsty. Moses stroked the dune and it turned into a lake. Jews drank, Moses put off his cloths and decided to swim. When he came out of the lake, he didn’t find his cloths. Perhaps, Arabs (Palestinians) stole it."
Yasir Arafat:
"It’s a lie! Then there were no Arabs (Palestinians) there!"
The Ambassador:
"Oh! That’s exactly what I wanted to begin with."
