"An Israeli and a Palestinian are watching a Western. In the movie, a cowboy is riding bareback on a particularly wild horse. The Israeli, being aggressive, says to the Palestinian, "I’ll bet you 10 shekels he falls." The Palestinian, being impulsive, replies immediately, "I’ll bet you he doesn’t."

The cowboy falls, and the Palestinian forks over 10 shekels. The Israeli, feeling that famous Israeli guilt, refuses them. Then he admits, "I’ve seen this movie before."

The Palestinian replies, "So have I. But I thought he would learn from his mistake."

So joked Saeb Erakat, the veteran Palestinian peace negotiator at the Brookings Institute in reference to the middle east peace talks under way in Annapolis. There is a slight problem though with Erakat’s premise. Bush is not a cowboy!

One response to “An Israeli and A Palestinian Walk Into a Movie Theater….”

  1. Humans-for-Horses protest at this denigration of horses, which are fine creatures, including their ass. Humans should claim Bush as their own, instead of devaluing flora and fauna by comparing them to Bush. :D
