Modern Invention

Tzvi Yechezkeli is a journalist who was chozer bi-tshuva. When he speaks to Arab groups, he begins with the following: 

Before I start my talk I would like to tell you a story. Many years ago, the Jews left Egypt and wandered in the desert for 40 years. Before entering the land of Israel some of the Jews disrobed and took a dip in the Jordan river. When they came out of the water, they discovered that the Palestinians had stolen their clothing.

At this point people cry out: "It's a lie!! There were no Palestinians back then!!!"

Yechezkeli says: "That is where I would like to begin my talk...."
